The common denominator with all these models is a miss to the East so I guess there is a consensus there. 

CMC close but no cigar. Powerful storm though.

Thanks on all the info on Norluns. Very interesting!

Gefs is further west and now shows a norlun into  SNE.

What exactly is a Norlun?

For us here in central RI the antecedent air mass is just too warm. I think it will be tough to get an all frozen situation here.

Sell or buyers remorse

I’d be surprised if we here in RI got those totals. I am expecting a lot of rain so not sure about those snowfall totals.

So early in the season, I got to go with climo. Been burnt too many times with that warm nose. Down here in RI, I never expect anything substantial in snow totals until after Christmas. But any frozen stuff I can get this early in the season... I’ll take it !

What a week. Lost one of our favorite chickens, hurt my back, and shockingly lost our 7 y/o cat last night. That cat was seriously part human and we shared a really close bond. I’m completely numb right now. I’m surprised I even got 3hrs of sleep last night. RIP Henry. I feel like I lost a kid. 

So sorry for the loss of Henry. Sending my condolences to you and your family.

Looks like TD10 will follow the weakness in the ridge left after Humberto. A little early to be definitive but more than likely it will happen.

I am still amazed every time I see the destruction of that tornado. Joplin has made an amazing recovery. Great video footage of before and after. Prayers continuing for you all..

Thanks for the update JoMo. Still amazing to me how much rebuilding has been done there. A true testament to the spirit of people living there and the thousands of volunteers.

A couple years ago..not much changed..maybe a few more wrinkles

This is an update to one of the stories right after the tornado about Lage Grigsby and Mason Lillard. They are young cousins that were in a truck at Home Depot when they were hit by the tornado. Lage suffered a traumatic brain injury and wasn't expected to make it as his skull was fractured and he actually had brain matter oozing out of the crack that was contaminated with gravel and other debris. Mason was impaled from her shoulder through her lung and down out her backside and had to be cut out of the truck. Lage had nearly 1/4 of his brain removed. When Lage came out of his medically induced coma, he couldn't walk or talk and was thought to have the mentality of an 8 year old. Doctors weren't sure he'd recover.

Fast forward two years......   Mason has had 11 surgeries with 1 more to go. She has scoliosis due to her injuries but other than that, she's fine. Lage has very little use of his right arm and he wears a leg brace but other than that, he's doing well. He rides four-wheelers and has his permit and is looking forward to getting his drivers license.

PepsiCo has sent volunteers along with $500,000 to Joplin's Habitat for Humanity. 71 houses built by Habitat since the tornado and counting.

Thanks for the update JoMo! The amazing stories continue in Joplin. These stories brought tears to my eyes. I guess miracles do happen. Keep the stories coming.

Thank you-- but to be clear, I had equal praise for our federal disaster response. The people of Joplin deserve credit-- and so, too, does our federal government and this application of our federal tax dollars. It is a win all around.

Agreed Josh.
