All Activity

Pretty terrible that we've strung together three weekends in a row with a crappy Sunday. Especially during peak fall outdoor activity season. At least the streak will be over this weekend with Friday being the unsettled day instead.

Next two systems decent rains for NNE. I don't want hear it! And you should see your first flakes!

This one goes through the full event

Couldn’t ask for a nicer day weather wise from top of the rock

Amazingly enough both Saturday and Sunday saw a high of 90 at MSP my old "stomping ground"... that place always amazed me! It could go from -30F in the winter to 100+ with beyond believable humidity in the summer. Guess the heat is migrating eastward.

The 2020 Isaias produced the most tors from a TC that tracked along the E Coast and stayed E of the Appalachians -- 39. And DE has its longest-tracked tor on record at 36 mi. https://www.spc.noaa.gov/climo/reports/200803_rpts.html https://www.spc.noaa.gov/climo/reports/200804_rpts.html

72 today, managed to sneak out and hit a few balls at the range. Taking a half day tomorrow to get in a golf round. Forecast is 77 and sunny.

Up to 75 in / out of the clouds but a nice day.

We love. We take.

Yes for sure. Come check out the NNE thread. All of the LES guys have moved to a discord but you’ll know when good setups are coming. My area is a bit far from the LES snow belt but when a good band sets up over the Tug I’m usually getting a light accumulation too. November has had some monster LES events and I think we have a good shot for a nice one this year.

A definite 'hole' over here, and much of the guidance had it. Still, an inch or so of rain is fine with me in October. Not like it hasn't rained for 3 straight weekends or something..

Good AFD from BTV… A cold front will sweep through the area Friday night sharply lowering temperatures 10 to 15 degrees from Friday evening to Saturday morning. Temperatures will likely dip below freezing for most if not all locations across the area with only those near Lake Champlain and immediately near the St. Lawrence River staying above freezing. As temperatures fall, snow levels during the day Saturday will also lower to 500-1000ft agl, with a transition to snow above 1500ft agl, and a rain, wet snow mix, in elevations between 1000- 1500ft agl. A few mixed in flurries cannot be ruled our even in the Champlain Valley, though temperatures will be marginal in the mid to upper 30s. Some snowliage appears likely with ensembles denoting nearly 100% chances for purely snowfall in the Adirondacks and Northeast Kingdom. Rain and snow showers will taper off Saturday evening as the system pulls away to the northeast. 850 mb temperatures Saturday night will be remarkably cold for this time of year in the -9 to -11C range Saturday night supporting temperatures in the 20s for most of the area, including the entire Champlain Valley. Pockets of teens will be possible in the coldest hollows of the Adirondacks and Northeast Kingdom as surface temperatures anomalies will be 10 degrees below normal. Temperatures will slowly moderate back towards seasonable normals to start next week.

Following up on my last post (QBO): Based on my expectation of each of DJF being at +8+ QBO and also within a mature +QBO phase as opposed to near the start of it, here are the best QBO/ENSO analogs in order of quality taking into account the timing within the +QBO phase, the QBO amp, and the Nino strength: -2015-6 strongest analog: ~identical QBO timing, super-Nino -1982-3 super-Nino and similar QBO amp but QBO 3 month later start of + phase -1957-8 not quite super-Nino, QBO 2 month earlier start of + phase and weaker JF amp -1987-8 Nino only mod & 2nd year and QBO 3 month later start of + phase -2006-7 easily weakest of these analogs because only weak Nino and QBO 2 month earlier start of + phase along with only +1 Feb QBO

Almost 80F tomorrow and 80F+ Wednesday? Say it isn't so... 73F/DP 62F

I'm confused: RDU reported over 1.25" just yesterday. Maybe that 0.21 is supposed to be somewhere downtown, but even the color scale doesn't come close around the airport. Oh wait, that graphic ended at 12Z, which was before that crazy band came through.

2.4” final here

Yep, 90 here too.

Extreme record breaking El Nino. Everything is on the table. There just may be too much hot air from the ocean that floods the continent except for the northern part of the country.

I'll have to start visiting the New England page starting in Dec. These fokes here will get sick of me reporting from up there. I'd be Jebman of the snowbelt

Here are the main points from the CPC MJO update posted today. No surprises, el nino is the main event. With a notable mention of the +IOD potentially beginning to show itself now as of late.

Strong SW winds too! Leaves flying everywhere!
