SnowenOutThere

Trying to wrap the convection around an eye again on visible so it might get its act together.

So we getting watermelon sized hail tomorrow right?

You just beat me to it

Had to edit it down but this thing is amazing would not be surprised with a high end cat 4 from the satellite view.

Have my first swim meet of the winter season with the YMCA today, its a duel meet in Fredrick MD and the YMCA has a new swimming pool. Wondering if anyone from Fedrick has seen the new YMCA swimming pool? Anyways can't wait for the meet today I get to swim 50 Free which is great, 100 Breaststroke which is ok and 100 Fly which is... bad.

Finally a real eye signature showing up, this thing is ready to explode.

Looks like an eye might be trying to form on visible but could just be a temporary feature.

Finally feels like fall, saw my breath and it’s clear with low humidity. Can’t wait for the trees to react to this.

Saw my breath as I walked out to the car to go to swim.

Found the first good red fall leaf of the season on the ground today

Well DC is getting dry slotted so its not as far fetched as you think

GFS recurves it.

With it going all the way out to 384 it will be interesting to see what it does.

Then the rug gets pulled out

Here is the code for it the part at the very bottom is the border I made to (hopefully?) make it look like a painting, this was all we learned in four weeks. It is a slow class. Also learned nothing of any real world value.

In programming right now, and finished my unit project which was painting with python, which was really slow and easy but made a picture.

Post your observations, picture and general fall foliage topics. You could also post things about fall in general but try to keep it to foliage. Thought it would be a good idea considering next week looks cooler and there is some slight colors on the trees already. Thanks to @Maestrobjwa for reminding me, I thought about this topic earlier in the week but just remembered after you mentioned it and better to make it sooner than later.

Found a preview of this winter except for one storm that hammers North Carolina but gets suppressed.

Also it falls on the run at the evening not even early morning which makes it even more impressive.

It begins

It does seem to be taking over recently. Wonder if when the MDR appears more inactive the storms remain as waves over it and then take off in the Caribbean making the difference even more pronounced.

I need the latest 18z model run of the GFS.

Seems to have jogged East in the past hour or so, which gives it more time to strengthen.

It’s trying to form a core on radar.

Just like clockwork a new storm was just named with U.S impacts expected.
