It sounds like it will be a process - but lack of budget/funding and retiring faculty. It's very unfortunate!

I live about 27 miles northwest of Charlottesville as the crow flies. Therefore, I am conscious of weather occurrences in Charlottesville more than D.C.. Charlottesville has been blasted with a highly unusual repetition of strong to severe storms during the past 60 days. This is within a rectangular area that encompasses much of Nelson and Albemarle counties that has repeatedly been hammered with hail, high winds and heavy rain.. The Charlottesville-Albemarle airport about 9 miles north of town has had the wettest August of the past 65 years with 10.13" of rain. This compares to a normal 3.73" for August. This began during July when 5.99" fell at the airport. During August, west of the Blue Ridge has been dry with serious drought. I would enjoy sharing the rain but am very happy to escape the severe storms!!

2026-2027 Record-breaking El Nino
40/70 Benchmark replied to Stormchaserchuck1's topic in Weather Forecasting and Discussion
1983 was also very east-based, and to be frank, it's a better polar analog given the QBO and solar cycle. 2016 was actually much warmer given the MC influence, it just happened to have the one storm. -

2026-2027 Record-breaking El Nino

The east based Nino is completely overpowering any other signal this year. It will be a lot closer to 97 than 83 or 2016 -
Yep, was looking forward to one more. Radar has RAPIDLY improved on north side too. Me thinks RI might be occurring. Crazy cool processes to watch on radar. For the talk earlier of no defined core, IR and radar both show it quickly blossoming. Lightning in southern quad is a definitive sign of strengthening too. Lets see how quickly it ramps up

Also related but only partially - and apologies if already posted. Saint Louis University is sunsetting their meteorology program and discontinuing CIPS on their site. But Mizzou has agreed to start hosting it - the new link to CIPS is here --> https://analog.missouri.edu/

Occasional Thoughts on Climate Change
donsutherland1 replied to donsutherland1's topic in Climate Change
That's part of the reason I suggested that the precise role of climate change remains to be determined. Given the body of literature, there was likely a role. The least likely scenario is none. Further study will be needed to gain a better understanding. Even if there is a flash attribution study, the full picture probably won't be available for several years until research findings are published. -

.75 nice drink so far. -
Recon just lifted to flight-home altitude, so it appears there won't be another pass.
-
This next pass could see some very significant intensification if these rapid increases in radar velocities are sustained and sampled

backdoor front will be S and W of most of the area tomorrow-stable airmass in place

It's not handling the Pacific well at all.

Is he still waiting for his canonical, front-loaded La Nina from last year?
