Tomas, our 20th named storm of the Atlantic Hurricane season is really dropping some serious rain on Hatti and the surrounding Caribbean islands. Looking at the water vapor image below, you can really see that Tomas is the the only rain maker from the Atlantic all the way to the Rockies. And he is really using up all of that extra moisture. Upwards of 10-20 inches of rainfall in 24 hours is likely in Hatti and similar numbers probably for the Bahamas next. Wind won't be the issue with Tomas, just lots of rain!
Very quietly, this has been quiet an active hurricane season for the Atlantic. 20 named storms is a lot. But it seems so quiet to us because there was not 1 land falling storm in the US for the entire season. Odd. Nevertheless, weather nerds like myself will tell you that an active Hurricane season usually means an active winter storm season for us.
Make sure to wear your coats this weekend! It won't get out of the upper 40's for high temps all weekend!
