[HCRA] Poss. severe Wx this week

Wed, 2 Oct 2002 22:30:43 -0400

Sorry, but this reads like so much gibberish (my personal favorite "YOU
SEE THEM ROLLING ACRS THE TOP OF THE RDG PER ALB DISCUSSION IN ERN
GTLKS!") Whatever happened to English? 

Anyway, this might make things a bit easier to follow for the
uninitiated:

http://www.hwn.org/nhcww3.shtml

This shows the storm into New York state by Saturday and possibly
affecting our part of New England, but it's got a long way to go before
that happens, and a few mountains to cross to boot.

Also check out the Hurricane Watch Net site, http://www.hwn.org.

The hurricane season doesn't end officially until November 1, but there
have been severe storms even after that date.

Hello to all...

Walt's discussion talks about Wednesday and possibly Friday or Saturday
as possible severe threats for the area. As most of us are aware, severe
season doesn't end in September, the Windsor Locks Tornado was October
3rd, 1979. We'll keep an eye on these situations, see AFD below:
