Coming off a delightful late fall weekend that brought the city its first back-to-back 70-degree days since Sept. 24-25, prospects for mild weather here loom well into mid-November. With a prevailing west-to-east jet stream promising to spread mild Pacific air across much of the nation for the next two weeks, arctic air should remain bottled up across this continent's polar regions. Readings here should fluctuate through the 50s and 60s -- well above current normal temperatures around 50. While this weekend's 70s did not break any records here, new record highs were established Sunday in areas from Michigan to New York, including 72 at Grand Rapids and 71 at Muskegon, both in Michigan.
Category 2 Ida heading for Gulf Coast
A lackluster 2009 hurricane season has become active in its final weeks. A hurricane watch has been posted for the Gulf Coast from eastern Louisiana to the Florida Panhandle as Ida, packing top winds of 105 mph, approaches the area by Monday night or early Tuesday. Ida's death toll is approaching 100 in El Salvador after three days of flooding rains there.
