11/8/11 Our Calm Weather - look out for Sean and a Mediterranean Tropical Storm

Our weather here in New England has been dominated by high pressure for last week. This dry spell is quite long actually, 9 days so far. The last time it was this dry in Boston was August 30 - September 10, 2009 (12 days)!  We should hold out for day 10 tomorrow, then moisture from Subtropical Storm Sean will affect us with some possible heavy rain come Thursday.

Today - Highs near 70 just inland from Boston. Coolest at the coast and the Cape.

Wednesday - High clouds move in as a front approaches, still mild. High 64.

Sean is a subtropical storm in the Atlantic and will track out to sea, but some moisture will be absorbed by the approaching cold front.

A rare tropical storm has formed in the Mediterranean Sea and is moving toward to coast of Italy!!

Tropical cyclones and hurricanes have formed in the Mediterranean sea on prior occasions, but they are extremely rare.
