Yeah, one outbreak occurred from northeast CO into SW NE and a second from IA southwest into OH (but each were spawned from a separate system). Each person was assigned a different event so I don't know if everyone got a multi-region event or hell, if I even need to focus on both areas but I'm going to anyways. I had initially did my layouts talking about each level and then both regions...but I felt it was leading to a cumbersome mess. So I elected to try going about it doing the analysis separate for each area and it seems to be going much more fluidly.

Perfect, thank you! That's what I was thinking. Not sure why I've been beating myself up about this but I've let it stress me out so much that sometimes I'd come close to getting a panic attack and would get light headed

Odd question but I've been doing a lot of reading around o this but I can't seem to garner the appropriate solution. In a nutshell, I am writing a paper about a severe weather event and in this event there was a multi-region outbreak (from two separate systems). I've crafted several drafts of the paper because I'm trying to find the best method of doing the layout. This paper is an analysis (case study) so it will have 300mb charts, 500mb, 700, 850, etc. Anyways, I feel the best course of measure is to break the paper into two main sections, with one focusing on each region. Anyways with that, I would be referencing alot of the same maps twice. For example, Let's say that is labeled Figure 5 in my paper Where I am stuck is this: 1. When talking about this for the first region its labeled as Figure 5 2. When I reference this chart again in the second section, is in best to label it as another figure number, or is it fine to reference back to figure 5. I am going nuts on this. Note: All images will be at the end of the paper.

Nope...not hype enough for them

Exactly In fact, any snow potential we have, I'm setting my expectations at a Trace.

I wonder when in November (if we do) the pattern really begins to flip. I mean the extended GFS/Euro continue blowing the 576/582 500 heights well north into the country through mid-November. I think I made a post or two in the ENSO thread but (and this is not an official outlook or forecast) but I don't feel good about this winter at all. In fact, I would not be shocked if this ends up one of the warmer winters on record for the CONUS. Really curious to see how November plays out but we need something big/major (probably in the stratosphere first) to mix things up.

Let's get Philly a TOR tomorrow

What are the building codes like and what can they withstand? I mean if you're in the eyewall path for landfall and getting sustained category 5 hurricane winds with gusts approaching or exceeding 200 mph, with debris being tossed around...how much can structures take and withstand?

That is legit just off the surface. The noise alone from the winds off the deck have to be deafening.

Those readings from the southern eyewall are mind blowing. Horrifying for those in the path of the eyewall

wish this was just a few hours later but yeah maybe farther east has a slim shot

Beautiful day indeed Home opener for the Wolf Pack in Hartford tonight, couldn't ask for a better day

A vigorous shortwave trough crosses the region late Sunday night and Monday with strong cold front and triple point moving across the region Monday morning. This system will be characterized by a potent 80+ knot mlvl jet streak and 60-70+ knots of bulk shear overspreading the region to go along with steeping mid-level lapse rates associated with cooling temperatures aloft. Out ahead of the shortwave trough, a strong southerly flow will develop pumping in an unseasonably moist low-level air mass. The combination of an unseasonably moist low-level airmass combined with modestly steep mid-level lapse rates (~ 6.5 C/KM) should yield upwards of 250-500 J/KG of MLCAPE. Bulk shear values in excess of 60-70 knots combined with vigorous forcing will likely promote a squall line consisting of heavy rain, thunder/lightning, and strong-to-damaging wind gusts along the leading edge, moving across the region early-to-late morning Monday. Forecast soundings exhibit enough low-level turning, particularly in the vicinity of the triple point to warrant potential for a few embedded QLCS tornadoes.

Always amazes me how everything perfectly aligned to produce such a violent tornado. And add in the fact that it was a left moving supercell. The odds of such an occurrence have to be insane.

may have to reschedule But this is a pretty intriguing setup. Triple point crossing the region with steep mid-level lapse rates and a surge of higher theta-e air.

Definitely becoming more intrigued with early Monday morning, particularly out towards eastern sections. Could see a narrow stretch of wind damage and maybe a tornado

Yeah you had a pretty solid call I'd say and really nailed that big lull which is big kudos.

The timing on this has slowed quite a bit. Going to be one heck of a squall going across the region.

Man that is a violent shortwave coming through early Monday.

Tropical isn't really a high knowledgeable area of mine, but I thought coming into the season it wasn't going to be a hyperactive season just going off the basics. I think sometimes with this advance in technology and models there is too much infatuation with models and their outputs. Reading the seasonal outlooks from NOAA/Colorado, they always mention how simulations are ran hundreds or thousands of times...sometimes you just have to use the basics and knowledge.

What adds more interest to this IMO is it seems a lot of "correlations" we had been very familiar with have diminished over the past decade-plus as well. Now, the easy answer here is that is just a product of increasing our sample size (data set). This is likely certainly a factor, but how strong of a factor? But I suspect something else is going on too...and the way to come to that conclusion is when you break everything down into how we understand things and basic principles and you're getting results that don't make sense. also, if I understand correctly, the correlation is geared more towards the evolution of the AO? Lots of influences on the state and evolution of the AO, especially stratospheric processes.

Perfectly stated

The snow cover advance has to be one of the biggest frauds out there.

I'm ready!

A bit over two months until the sun starts setting later. Stuff that in your Halloween bags
