Breakfast Brief
Active, fast-moving weather continues

While one front exits east, another one arrives on Tuesday on the West Coast. The active weather continues for the Rockies; let's dive into the details. The Breakfast Brief is published every Monday through Friday at 5 a.m. ET

The West Coast's weather is trying to improve briefly, but another front will arrive late Tuesday, which promises to bring heavy rounds of rains for the lower elevations, mountain snow, and strong gusts. This storm will be followed by a cooler air mass that will take over much of the Pacific Northwest, northern California and the Rockies with another push of even cooler air to close the workweek. An atmospheric river makes its way, and it is expected to affect parts of the West this week, increasing torrential showers and snow around the middle of the week.

Our TemperatureRadar shows temperatures in the Central Plains through Texas will be above normal ahead of the cold front that will bring snow across the Rockies. The winds will be from the South and strong, gusting at times between 30 and 40 mph. Luckily, humidity levels will be present, so there is no fire risk.

The cold front that brought rains for the East on Veteran's Day exits, and while a few showers are still possible along the Southeast as the front fizzles out, the drier air will start to make its way south. South Florida can expect the first shot of drier air to arrive late Wednesday, which will reinforced later this week by another front, which will be stronger and likely dropping the lows across Miami and nearby cities to the mid to upper 60s by the weekend.

Tropical update:

An area over the western Caribbean could see tropical development late this week. Whatever develops here will be slow to develop, so we must continue to monitor it. Remember that without a well-defined center of circulation, it is impossible to know where a system might (or might not) go.

Weather history...

On November 12, 1970: The deadliest tropical cyclone ever recorded, and one of the deadliest natural disasters in modern times occurred on this day in East Pakistan, now Bangladesh. The Bhola Cyclone first formed over the Bay of Bengal on November 8 and traveled north. This cyclone reached peak intensity, Category 3, on the 11, and made landfall on the coast of East Pakistan the following afternoon. The Bhola Cyclone killed an estimated 500,000 people and caused nearly $90 million in damage.
