    The Euro and UK now take the Bay of Bengal system a bit farther west, at least scraping the Indian coast with the center. The GFS still has a n/nne track into Bangladesh.

    I don't think northern Maine is tornado territory.

    The Euro now has the cool pool from the eastern cutoff low dominating the subforum region through next week. The 80s and humidity are gone, even for Iowa. Now it's low 70s with 50s dews.

    Models are showing a powerful cyclone hitting the northern Bay of Bengal coast next week. There has not been one in that area in quite a long time. That area used to be ground zero for huge death totals back in the 20th century.

    The euro is cutting off the eastern upper low farther west every run.

    While there will be significant warming into the weekend for our eastern members, models have shown a trend toward merging the subtropical system and the upper midwest system as they reach the mid-Atlantic region, where it parks for a while next week and cools the temp somewhat for our far eastern members.

    Models are all showing the cold pattern finally ending over the next few days. Warmth moves in Thursday and stays for good. The GFS has 80s here next week and the Euro is well into the 70s as well by late this week. The pattern may also become pretty stormy. The euro has 2-5" of rain across Iowa from day 4-7, extending eastward into the lakes as well.

    I'm a gardener. Let's not do this.

    At least I was able to get a solid thundershower around midday... heard a few rumbles and picked up 0.26" of rain. I knew that would probably be it for the day.

    For lunch today I went to the local Culver's. As I pulled into the line, a high-rider pickup truck drove by as it exited. The driver was a bearded guy with a big, white parrot perched on his shoulder. That's something you don't see every day.

    I went to Menards late this morning. The place was packed. About half the customers were wearing a mask.

    Not a day goes by without 20-30 mph wind. One of the local mets said Cedar Rapids has had 20 mph gusts every day except one this month. The wind combined with the chilly temps has made it difficult to put all my plants outside.

    We should be getting a lot more data for this country over the next couple weeks(positive/negative tests, fatalities, etc). If we start getting more data that suggests the death rate is similar to the flu, or even a bit higher, there will be immense pressure to start sending people back to work.

    Obviously, we won't know how all of this will play out until it does, but my biggest fear continues to be the economic devastation we are inflicting on the country. If this goes on for more than a few weeks, it could get very bad.

    I went out to eat for lunch. The restaurant was less busy than it typically would be at noon on Saturday.

    Winter got out ahead of the rush and canceled its season a few months ago.

    Typhoon Bualoi is about to move over/near Anatahan island in the Mariana Islands. This is the second strong typhoon to directly hit the tiny island this month. That's difficult to do.
  19. hawkeye_wx
    It's the new GFS.
  20. hawkeye_wx
    Anyone know what kind of building code they have in the Marianas?

    Trami was an awesome super typhoon, but once it stalled it didn't take long for the upwelled cool water to hollow out the core.
  22. hawkeye_wx
    That's some pretty awesome stuff you guys are reporting/photographing. Half those rates/totals would be a dream storm here in Iowa. Around here, >foot totals are next to impossible and even ten-inch storms are rare. Four inches counts as a good storm. It's the ultimate nickel-dimer climate. OceanStWx used to work here at DVN, so he knows how pathetic this area can be.

    The last four runs of the Euro are showing something interesting in the 6-10 day period... possible tropical storm or typhoon formation in the Gulf of Thailand.

    A system is developing in the Bay of Bengal. Models have a solid cyclone lifting northward into Bangladesh or western Myanmar Tuesday.

    It appears another eyewall replacement cycle may be on the way. Satellite shows the eye steadily shrinking over the last few hours, and a microwave image from an hour ago shows a distinct outer band.
