More Rain on the Way!

Today's blog will be short because I have been at home, fighting off one of those good late fall head colds brought on by lack of sleep and stress.... gotta love having 19 credits a semester! At least the first onslaught of midterms has finally come to an end.... whew!

The threat of rain, however, has not. More moisture is streaming into New England this evening, courtesy of the same upper level low pressure system that has been spinning it's wheels in the middle of the country the last few days. This upper level system will help to spawn a surface low near the Great Lakes, and give us a decent dousing of the wet stuff through tomorrow.

For us big weather fanatics attending the Southern New England Weather Conference tomorrow, things look to be a bit wet. I'm sure the great presentations will more than make up for it. I'm looking forward to seeing Umass Lowell's very own Dr. Frank Colby give a presentation to Southern New England's "weather elite," as well as Harvey Leonard and colleagues with a presentation on global warming.

Well, I think I should get to the forecast before my Nyquil kicks in...otherwise we might have a rather "interesting" forecast!

For WUML Lowell 91.5 Fm this is Umass Lowell student meteorologist and WUML Weather Director John Webster. For those attending Halloween parties this weekend, I hope they are spooktacular! For the rest of us, have a great weekend!
