Rina has been downgraded to a tropical storm, with dry air entrainment and southerly vertical shear for the next few days keeping the storm on a weakening trend. Elsewhere in the U.S., snow can be seen on the ground over Denver, CO after the season's first big storm brought up to 18 inches of wet, heavy snow that knocked out power to thousands in the area. The continuation of that system can be seen bringing rain and cooler temperatures to the east coast, and the possibility for some light snow in West Virginia into Friday. This image was taken by GOES East at 1545Z on October 27, 2011.
