    Ended up at 37 this morning. Should help get the leaves rolling faster.
  2. John1122
    39 out there with about 2 hours of cooling left to go. First 30s of fall season always gets me happy.

    Yes. Nina is tougher along the Apps, but 80 percent of the valley was wintry last year.
  4. John1122
    The PDO and Nina seems to produce mixed results. It was negative this past winter and it was snowy/icy/cold for most of the valley. It was negative in 2010-11 and that was a very snow winter with BN Temps. It was also negative for the 2011-12 Nina and that one was very warm. So the -PDO seems to run the gamut on winter outcomes from cold and snowy to very mild.

    As long as it's not strong, we are in decent shape, especially further west you go. If you take out 2011-2012 which was just an epic warm year everywhere when the Nina acted opposite of normal, every where west of the Apps are normal to below normal for winter in moderate and weak Nina's. Strong and we are almost universally AN. This doesn't have last years either which was moderate and near or BN from the Plateau to Oklahoma, all the way to the Gulf.

    It won't be a strong Nina most likely. I doubt it's more than weak. A strong has never followed a moderate nina and a moderate only followed a moderate once ever.
  7. John1122
    You are in a good spot in a Nina. It's not warm from the Plateau west and the further west the better. Mod/Weak Nina is probably BN on average for Northern Arkansas.

    1993 redux??

    I have basically no faith in seasonal models. A gulf of Alaska low would generally not be La Nina climo. I believe that normally features a high pressure just south of Alaska off western Canada. Low pressure out there generally is an El Nino feature.

    That I could find there hasn't been a SSW earlier than late November recorded. I believe the person I saw talking about it was saying late November/early December was the hinted time frame but as mentioned, that's just pure spitballing off some very long range modeling that was showing rapid 10mb warming there later in November.
  11. John1122
    Nov '58 had a SSW Dec '58 was -5 to -7 across the state, January '59 was around -3. Early Dec '65 had an SSW Jan '66 was -6 to -8 across the area, Feb '66 was -2 to -3 Nov '68 had a SSW Dec '68 was -5 to -7 across the area, and January '69 was around -3 Dec '81 had a SSW Jan '82 was -5 to -7 in the area Feb '82 was cold from the Plateau and west at around -3 to -5 but near normal far east Dec '87 had a SSW Jan '88 was -4 to -6 in the area, Feb '88 was -3 to -5 Dec '98 had a SSW that produced no wintery effects here, temps were AN the next two months. Those are the only Nov/Dec events that I can find listed. The 1985 event was underway in late December but peaked on Jan 1st 1985. Some happen to late to matter much for winter here, but most of them seemed to produce some really cold temps and snow chances. A few, like 1998, were complete duds.

    Models were hinting at a SSW event in late November or Early December. That could pay dividends in January if it comes to pass. Salt boulders with that one too.
  13. John1122
    Heavy, soaking rains, especially the last two hours. Just what we needed with fire and leaf season on the door step.
  14. John1122
    Looks like boring weather will prevail the next couple of weeks. Mostly slightly AN temps overall with a cool shot or two to keep it seasonal. Some rain might get thrown into the mix with slight probs of N to AN precip in the area. As long as it's not uber dry and the fire danger is under control, I will take whatever comes the first half of the month and be happy with it, hopefully the leaves keep responding. Reds and yellows are peeking out now and one tree I saw yesterday was about half red already.

    Got down to 41 this morning. Beautiful last two days. 60s yesterday and currently 66. Gonna be great football weather tonight.
  16. John1122
    Afternoon temps in the upper 50s with a few rogue showers. Feels like late October.
  17. John1122
    Quoting this one because the GFS handled this cool snap pretty well at D11/12.
  18. John1122
    Hadn't kept up with the forecast for today apparently. Last I saw was a 30 percent chance of scattered storms. Instead it rained steady for around 4 hours earlier. Stayed cloudy and misty the rest of the day.
  19. John1122
    It's out in fantasy land but the GFS is advertising highs in the 50s and the first frost in the area in late September. I remember a few Septembers with light frosts before. Huge grain of salt with it that far out though.
  20. John1122
    Heavy rain earlier but a sharp cutoff south of the Cumberlands. Went down to town and transitioned from rain running down the highway and large puddles to stone dry pavement in about 100 yards as I cleared the mountains through Big Creek Gap.

    50 this morning. It was down to 65 in my house around 8am.
  22. John1122
    My highest point and click is 86 over the next week. I don't see much on the 12z modeling that suggests any just crazy temperatures. Also grain of salt, but the GFS is advertising the first major cold front of fall in about 11 days or so. Looks like high temps would be in the 50s and 60s with lows in the upper 30s or low 40s.
  23. John1122
    I'm not sure what happened in the 60s but it was a mini-ice age. Every winter then was cold/snowy it seems like.

    Dacula Weather has these handy maps to look at regarding the QBO. It's better as a rule if it is falling through winter. But those forecasts above would generally be good news according to these reanalysis maps. https://www.daculaweather.com/4_qbo_index.php

    The GFS looks way hotter in about a week over the Ark/La/Tex than the Euro or Canadian. The GFS is throwing out stuff about 10f hotter than those two. Oklahoma is over 110 in spots on the GFS. That heat bubbles into Memphis with 102 there. It's a big outlier right now so I have my doubts about its record heat coming to pass.
