Rocktober like the old days. Bridging to winter

Still looks like more troughing in the West/Alaska than we've seen so far this October. I could see a long-term warm-up for much of the country even if the Northeast sees a coastal keeping temperatures cooler.

The -PNA isn't going anywhere. Next week, that coastal will probably at least keep high temps near or below for a couple of days anyways. Even with the high overhead, it's not a very warm atmosphere and mixing may be limited. Low temps might not drop much, but I suppose it depends on how much onshore flow we have. Certainly a little cooler than I thought a few days ago, when the coastal wasn't really modeled..or at least further offshore. Monday will be warm, and perhaps later next week...but that is far out and may have a WF hang up to our south.

If you believe correlations, a strong MJO wave into p8-1 corresponds to a trough in western Canada and into the west coast this time of year. So, the pattern modeled is what you would expect. People are worried about cold, but I think it is a good thing to see the MJO finally wake up from its coma and swing around rather strongly. I think that is more important, than worrying about a trough in the east.

Absolute gem out here today, brilliant sunshine with a forecast high of 62.

Frost on the pumpkin Saturday morning!

Your magical tropics. :)

45/37 and overcast here at the Pit.

Low 40's today, wind chill in the 20's

Going down to 20-22 tomorrow night, should kill off anything still growing at this point

Leaves are past peak as well, bring on winter

Understatement when half are on the ground. BTW--where upstate are you?

MET and MAV down to 37 and 36F respectively for Logan. That's pretty impressive for just getting towards mid October. My guess is 34 for a low at my hood.

I'm just dorky enough to want to step out at 4am and see car tops sparkling - thinking 28 or 29 out by my pad.

wonderin' how "freeze" climo looks.

CAA events for me and ORH FTW . Perfect for hilltop cold Fri nite. I'll go with 27.8 on MT Tolland

Yeah...not so much really -

the deeper CAA will be cutting off right around or just prior to sunset. This will be a going calm, decoupling thing - where ever does that the most proficiently will be colder in this scenario. That said, winds could be rather light even in the elevations with that high moving straight overhead, so local climo on such matters should be consulted..
