Monster Aleutian storm along with Typhoon Nuri are responsible for that big Central U.S. trough in the long range Euro.  Looks like an active upcoming pattern.

 

Day 8 upper air analogs...a couple of these dates were big producers across the Southern Plains.

Hey all. Good to be back! Hit 21º Saturday morning on my weather station. Looks like an interesting November. Look forward to following it along with each of you.

Welcome back.

If I didn't know any better I would still say that the euro has snow potential for 12z Nov 12th. It looks like a classic Eastern Oklahoma/Northwest Arkansas snow maker in my opinion. Not saying it will happen but I think it bears watching. Thanks for the tropical tidbits links JoMo.

Hey Wx 24/7.

I can't believe we have stuff to track already here in November. Anyone checked the 00z GFS? There's a couple of possible wintry systems to watch.

I can't find a fully loaded 00z gfs yet but I was seeing some hints that we could have some fun between the 18z gfs and using the free euro stuff I found. I think it's going to be a fun month. Pretty chilly and wintry after the 12th or so. Where can I get the 00z already loaded?

Thanks for another good link. I like the looks of that pattern. Looks like your area could get a measurable snow out of this pattern. May be a little hard to come by down this way. The 12th/13th has my interest. I'd like to see a little more moisture on the cold side of it but I'll take any measurable snow in November. :-)

Hi, everybody! Good to be officially back for the winter (although I've been snooping around for weeks).

 

Thanks to those of you who contribute model data, etc. You're the bee's knees.

 

I'm a weenie for anamolous cold, so I'm stoked to see just how cold it'll be next week. A little snow would be awesome, but not getting too excited just yet.

 

Anyway, here's to a long, snowy winter.
