Based on the final recon pass and the visible loop, it appears the center has jogged northwest, and is now west of the NHC forecast.

I remember several years back when the record low arctic sea ice regime first started. The hype was out of control that the open waters were going to add evaporative moisture and cause all time record snowcover to build up in the arctic and result in a strongly negative AO. That theory ended up being a real massive bust and many pro mets bought into it hook, line and sinker and used it to predict a big winter that fall

ICE went into Portland looking for illegals and the FBI found the mob there instead.

Please, and thank you.

Jamaica gone on the Euro.. meh for everything up here.. .25 to .50 of qpf through hr330

WB 12Z GEFS through Day 9. Lots of hits.

12z Euro not joining the NE camp .. really taking off to the SSW of Jamaica through 108

HAFS models have jumped northeast again this morning. Now they hit Jamaica from the east.

Totally agree. What we're going to see the end of next week. We'll have nothing to do with the hurricane. Total separate storm of its own. Now. Will there be any interaction with moisture into the nor'easter, time will tell.

Apparently the Physical Science Lab is updating charts. Maybe they are automated. Red banner (no updates) might refer to articles and the like. Snow cover (not shown, see Rutgers) in Siberia and East Asia is running above normal as noted in previous posts this thread. Mongolia snow is building. If it was stormy low pressure that would not be particularly bullish. However - good for snow fans - Siberia surface pressure is way up (Chart is below). Press is lower in far eastern Russia into the Aleutians; however, that's an overall strong high press signature for Siberia. Temps (not shown) are below normal Mongolia to Manchuria and normal up in the Siberian high (also cold). It is a good signature for the snow cover too. If one wants a cold North America later, one wants Siberia high press (not stormy) and colder temps into China (not locked north). SSTs are already well covered earlier in this topic / thread. I still favor a slightly mild winter for our Region from the Mid-South to the Valley, but that's colder than recent years. Gulf Coast warmth (La Nina) should spread up here occasionally. Colder Midwest air could / should get in here a few times, esp if the above background state holds.

https://theconversation.com/typhoon-leaves-flooded-alaska-villages-facing-a-storm-recovery-far-tougher-than-most-americans-will-ever-experience-267423 Remnants of a powerful typhoon swept into Western Alaska’s Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta on Oct. 12, 2025, producing a storm surge that flooded villages as far as 60 miles up the river. The water pushed homes off their foundations and set some afloat with people inside, officials said. More than 50 people had to be rescued in Kipnuk and Kwigillingok, hundreds were displaced in the region, and at least one person died. Typhoon Halong was an unusual storm, likely fueled by the Pacific’s near-record warm surface temperatures this fall. Its timing means recovery will be even more difficult than usual for these hard-hit communities, as Alaska meteorologist Rick Thoman of the University Alaska Fairbanks explains. Disasters in remote Alaska are not like disasters anywhere in the lower 48 states, he explains. While East Coast homeowners recovering from a nor’easter that flooded parts of New Jersey and other states the same weekend can run to Home Depot for supplies or drive to a hotel if their home floods, none of that exists in remote Native villages. account Rick Thoman ‪@alaskawx.bsky.social‬ Follow Track and intensity of Typhoon/ex-typhoon Halong in early October. The storm passed over ocean water significantly warmer than normal for virtually its entire track, from southeast of Japan to landfall on the northeast Bering Sea coast. #akwx #weather #Climate #Alaska @climatologist49.bsky.social ALT October 22, 2025 at 3:14 PM Everybody can reply

54 at 1 pm Will the NBA be the first pro league to be taken down by sports gambling? It’ll happen to them all but seems the NBA is ripe for the picking.

Not even then nowadays. Late May is when spring starts now.

I don’t think it would on that track but NHC is showing it for continuity due to the otherwise extremely favorable environment. Track will play the pivotal role here in maximum intensity as all other factors would favor extreme intensification over the hottest water in the basin. GFS once again weak and east, similar to ICON. Will be some major losers on the model front from this one

Land interaction actual may help it to wind up at that approach angle, at least for a while. The island is small enough to not choke off the storm too much unless it gets really close

Two to three weeks, maybe more, may average cooler than normal now. Models are pretty consistent. Appears that some western North America ridging is somewhat anchored by a trough in far eastern Siberia and the western Aleutians. Related to the East Asia pattern, Siberia and Mongolia snow is running at/above normal per Rutgers snow map. Unfortunately, my observed / historical pressure anomaly charts for the last 7 and 30 days is not updating with the gov shut-down. NOAA Physical Sciences Lab is not immediate forecasts like most NWS sites that update. Without recent history pressure I can't put the snow cover into context. Hence, I post in the fall thread rather than winter. SST discussion in the winter thread is good though. EDIT: Charts do update on the site above. Winter thread time! In night sky news I saw Comet Lemmon Wednesday pretty clearly through binoculars. Could not make it to darker sky Tuesday when it was closest to Earth, but another observer said Wednesday was just as good. First try Sun/Mon was inconclusive. Anyway tonight Thursday may be the last chance before greater cloud coverage and / or moon.

Get those furnaces serviced

that was moving at a decent clip-this storm is forecast to meander near the island for 2-3 days

Per link below the 2023 warming has been attributed to El Nino. The article does say that the warming came on more suddenly and lasted longer than a typical nino. But that is probably due the increasingly positive radiation balance due to cloud feedback and air pollution control. I haven't seen the Hunga Tonga volcano linked to significant warming in a scientific paper. https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adt7207

1988 hurricane gilbert center went right down the middle of jamaica from the east all the way to the west and did not lose any strength..

Mid-late April?

Because that’s what insane people do.

Good afternoon everyone, Self - caution. Use your own interp. Some time before any thread on a possible (in my mind probable) 1-3" rain event with a brief period of power outage fully leafed tree power outages on the coast and even isolated slight R# eddy transfer 40-45 MPH gusts inland beneath the potential 850 MB se 60 kt jet on the 30th. That rainfall if it occurs (it can still end up less than 1" for us with the bigger heavy rain in New England), will bring most if not all OKX climate sites close to normal monthly totals. So... another cycle or two of ensembles before committing. ECAI hopefully is on the right track as its been steadiest. Of interest is the 06z ECAI distant Melissa 850mb inflow feed but outlier long shot at this point. FOLLOW NHC. I plan to start the November thread sometime this weekend after a look see on how fast this Canadian block breaks down week two or beyond. A period of wet snow or snow shower-rain showers seems to be in the offing (suggestion via modeled by some ensembles) for I84 high terrain sometime the first 7 to 10 days of November due to the repeated digging of Canadian short waves. Waiting til the weekend to start November.
