WEATHER53

That drum has been banged and has failed repeatedly. Yes eventually they all do weaken but it’s not shear nor dry air that’s doing it while the eye is over water. Inland it will weaken because it’s inland so will see if “dry air/shear” crowd will chirp some more

Wow. So the shear and dry air not a factor?

Get a dying tropical system moving nevfrom sw VA and DC gets not much storm winds but spin ups in thunderstorms

Nothing wrong with Tues for 4th against this talented bunch! Gonna do a winter one?

So is the front going to pass it by and then Ian slips behind it and much more of a west track inland? There would be no way it would move like that if the front was pressing eastward with Ian to east of front?

10 miles north of Tampa at 105mph. Peak winds 135.

Hurricanes “sense” land interaction and unless solid steering winds compel them inland they will often skirt the coastline

Models don’t limit covering each and every base to winter storms only

It may be posted already but please let me see any graphics that show the east coast to mid Atlantic move Ian is supposed to make.

It might do it and if winds don’t quit at sunset there will be taste of wind chill i think the lies will be Frederick 38 Dulles 42 Bwi 45 DCA 49 Me 43

30’s for lows in far subs Fri night?

Go ahead and post your outlook please i think we see an outcome not typical of most Nina’s. The issue for DC area is will cold air source be available. Monster low pressures nw pacific coast and nw of that can’t be frequent . Many of the other indexes that are offered still seem largely theoretical with no history of being determinant on outcome

It is my thought that this winter will show another non typical Enso state reaction

Lot of temp outcomes 2002 to this analog season matched closely

+1 Dec and especially Feb is not devastating warmth. When we go +3 and milder then it’s generally snowless

December : +1 January:-3 to -5 Feb: +1 Overall: -0.33 to -1 Snowfall for DCA BWI IAD 14-18” The primary analog years are 1986, 2002, 2013, 2021. The secondary are 1966, 1977,1983, 2008, 2018’. Our analog method is mostly occurrent weather from this year. How we apply that formula is hard to explain There are some good years there. I do think chance of a big 8”+ is higher this year at about 30% instead of 15%. I hope Isotherm and Raleigh , Ma*t, Ray,HM and others will post their outlook in this thread

72 at 10 and 65 just 45 mins later

Going up 95 north of 216 5:30-6pm to Baltimore was deluge city. Solid 1-2”ph stuff

It’s hard to snow in DC

85 at 6pm 75 at 8pm 72 at 9pm lovely fall like evening temp drop

June stayed cool, July ended up +0.1 and August +1.0 with July 14 90+ and August 15. All those calls were good to excellent as of 9/1 we’ve had 38 90+ so my call for 35 is excellent one final note is around June 20th I stated the DCA high several days earlier of 99 would be the high for the summer. That was a Bold Call, despite a detractor comment, because of the timing of it moreso than temp itself although I do admit some interconnection. Winter outlook coming 9/15

Thanks and I’ll be sure for you.

Ray I think the single most important issue for DC area is what are the synoptic features set up that gets very cold air around Mongolia and then disperses it over the pole and down thru Easter Canada and over NY/PA and n-nw of that Can you describe what set up and indexes correspond with that being able to happen?

Enso not the sure hand it was in the past. Would be interesting to have a strong Nina and DC still gets decent cold and snow. Some other proverbial assurities ENSO wise have had that happen since about 2000.
