The start of November will appear similar to the start of the previous month, with mild, pleasant weather giving way to increasing clouds, wind and rain possibly accompanied by a thunderstorm or two by Wednesday. This time, it's not quite as surprising as the storms that pummeled the region at the start of October. November is really the first month of our rainy season, National Weather Service meteorologist Roger Gass said Monday. So this one is not too unusual.

A cold front will bring windy conditions and cooler temperatures to Staten Island on Wednesday, with wind gusts up to 25 mph and clearing skies by midday. The National Weather Service forecasts a quick transition from morning showers to mostly sunny conditions, with daytime temperatures in the lower 60s. The morning will start with scattered rain and potential thunderstorms, particularly in eastern areas, before the cold front moves through.

Northern Monterey Bay, Northern Salinas Valley/Hollister Valley and Carmel Valley and Southern Monterey Bay and Big Sur Coast are the focus of an updated weather alert for strong thunderstorms issued at 5:55 p.m. on Wednesday by the National Weather Service. The alert is in effect until 6:30 p.m. The storms are packing pea-sized hail (0.25 inches) and wind gusts of up to 30 mph. At 5:54 p.m., Doppler radar tracked a strong thunderstorm over Castroville, or near Marina, moving north at 25 mph,

Much of Scotland is likely to see gusts of 50-70mph with more than 80mph on some exposed coasts, hills and bridges.
