Outside the mountains snow showers showing up in fantasy land on the GFS. Obviously likely to be gone next run, but definitely a sign several runs in a row of very cold air for the time of year, entering the East for November. Never a sure thing, but as I've found and said before, cold Novembers often lead to memorable winter weather events in the following winter. It's a better than 60 percent of the time that it happens, so a decent statistical increase.

0Z runs: all are now out -Icon cat 2 H W. Haiti -CMC first moves W and then WNW/NW to Jamaica as a TS followed by SW and then abrupt turn to N and then NNE/NE over C Cuba/NC Bahamas as a cat 3 H followed by a turn back to the N with it ending on a heading toward Cape Cod as it gets caught on the E side of a strong trough/upper low -GFS very consistently hits Hispaniola again (cat 2 H) -Euro just W of Jamaica, EC Cuba to C Bahamas (MH) -UKMET remains quite consistent with the track and this time the text has it as a TC through hour 156, after which it weakens on approach to the NE Nicaraguan coast. The direction of movement starts off mainly WNW (with the furthest N being at 15.3N, which is actually furthest N of recent runs) followed by W and then WSW; strongest it gets is a minimal TS and lowest SLP 1004. At hour 156, the 0Z UKMET is a whopping 1,500 miles WSW of the 0Z GFS!

Who thinks these amounts are too high in PA down through VA ?

1.34” Need all of it. Well has been going dry after a couple showers…

Easy to see how - as others have said - Freshwater flooding is going to be the most impactful (costliest, deadliest) weather event related aspect of AGW. Probably already is.

I have to imagine there's some water level rising in the area PF described. Impressive if not.

Absolutely stunning Fall day today. Colors, blue sky, crisp air. Perfect October weather.

.64 here...can we cancel the burn ban now?

Western slope communities getting crushed.

There has been plenty of talk about the upgrade to EF-5 in Enderlin, North Dakota. (You may want to check out multiple videos on Youtube.) Here was, I believe, the closest time frame that I saved of that tornado (June 20th, 11:08PM central)

High of 73 . Low is our current temp of 50. Dew points stayed in the low 40's. Felt really nice outside.

I'm sure snowman will be embedding a tweet to this effect in the AM. scoop

1.10” wind max at home 18 mph. Meh

NG was way up at 3.55 on Oct 7th. It then plunged to the Oct 17th low of 2.89, a drop of 19%, on continued mild temperatures in the E US throughout the 2 week forecast period. This drop was caused by speculators selling to go flat or, in some cases, short. Then suddenly over this past weekend, when markets were closed, the models started cooling their late week 2 forecasts to near normal. Even though that’s not due to Canadian air, it’s still notably colder than the 2 weeks of mild that had been dialed in by the market on Friday. Thus as of Fri, the majority of spec traders had been short. Then this change to a less mild period late in week 2 meant a forecast of higher HDDs, which means newly progged higher NG usage than earlier progged. When the market opened last evening, there was a sharp gap up due to so many shorts running for the exits by buying to go flat. In addition, some of these specs decided to buy additional contracts to go long. In summary, the sharp price rise was due to a sharp increase in forecasted HDDs during the 2 week period rather than a forecast of very cold. Large changes in 2 week forecasts cause the largest price changes. Had the forecasts last week already had near normal in late week 2, prices on Friday would have been higher than they actually were and thus there wouldn’t have been today’s big rise.

sign me up for that h5 look in winter!

just imagine if there was no global warming

Its already 45 here. I think we get colder than last night and maybe have some frost in the morning

1.38" today. Praise Jah. 4.50" since 8/1 - enough for me to stop caring.

I ended up with .97”.

Same here and we've had a lot more rain. Even in the low spots my woods which rarely don't have water... nada

1.35” so far. The incredible part is that with 3” of rain in the past 2 weeks the river has barely risen. In spring we’d be at flood stage.

Things are getting serious again; you are posting WB maps!

At 1.15" here. The western slope communities east of BTV in Chittenden County have gotten crushed. They got trained by several narrow bands of heavy rainfall and now the ULL and upslope flow is cranking. There are spots over 3" and pounding rain east of BTV. They could do 4"+ in this event.

When it comes to money, those guys have itchy fingers for clicking on buy contracts. Frankly, I thought it was too early in the season for big nat gas usage even with BN temps. Guess I was wrong.

I suspect the area of forecast Snowfall to expand if the Pattern forecasted is realized. Looking like a good amount of moisture to work with. Great Lakes are very warm as well.
