45 this morning. Looks like rain Saturday, wind Sunday. Early next week probably coldest temperature of the season for some and mild at the end of the week.
Hurricane Hazel passing well west of our area gave some in our area the highest wind speeds recorded, including NYC. That period from the mid 1950s to the early 1960s is arguably the worst hurricane time in this area.
I was in the bullseye for this rain. Just to my west and east by a few miles and there was at least a 1/2 inch less. I had to double check my 1.82 inches but I have a second station that recorded 1.86 inches and the nearest station to me about a mile to my north reported 1.83 inches.
I'm thinking the front may have passed thru here as the temperature has gone from 67 to 63 and the wind from sw to west. Meanwhile pouring rain and up to 1.43 inches.
