    Hmm. Good chance of high mountain snow early next week. Soundingnis for my location at 2000 ft. Very close!
  2. fountainguy97
    No end in sight. Impressively dry month and a half.
  3. fountainguy97
    Man so close. As Carver said probably going to stay way up at 5000+ but would love to see some flakes flying here!

    Gfs sees you and raises you.

    This lines up with most of my thinking. We start mild and end cold. This doesn't mean a complete toss until February but I think we will be dominated by a -PNA early on. I think the ENSO progression you mention (moving central) appears to be likely but this won't be a full blown Modoki. Just transitioning to basin-wide. The only fly is the PDO. I doubt we see it flip to positive. Does it completely overrun the Nino or does it just offset the strong Nino? That's the question. The Euro seasonal show this progression extremely well. And honestly we take our chances with the best pattern occurring in the best months of winter. I just hope December isn't a complete washout. Here is my average snowfall per month over the last 4 La nina winters: Nov 1.15 Dec 1.7 Jan 4.025 Feb 5.2 Mar .9 I'll take the bait and hope February has the best pattern!

    Well some great model agreement for a big trough this weekend. Looks like a chance of widespread upper 30s for a large portion of TN and our first big taste of fall temps. I have to say I've been loving the dry and warmth we have had. These upper 70s with low dews are stellar.

    Interesting, I'm up to 53.40" on the year which is already the highest annual total I have ever recorded here. (Only 2021-23) Only .5 in the last 12 days but I'm at 3.60" this month. And a whopping 12.25" last month. Technically the border counties are doing ok in regards to precip. everyone for the most part east of the Mississippi has had a very slow September. Crazy to think that this includes Ophelia and NC is still mostly BN. You can see the NE TN border with AN in September though. I feel like we usually have a 4-6week period of dead weather in early fall. Too early for fronts to make it all the way through but too cool for Tstorms and no tropics.

    Ben Noll has some epic stuff. Jan-Feb look absolutely rocking along with the basin wide El-Nino. Hard not to like this. note the strong -PDO. Does it play the grinch this winter? All in all I'd expect the back half of winter to be pretty lively. Hopefully we get some action in the front half. I don't want to wait 5 more months for February to roll around haha.

    I've seen ALOT of different sources point to a classic Miller A swath of + snowfall anomalies across the SE and Mid Atlantic recently. looks like back loaded winter is heavily favored as well. sources: trackersacker twitter Brian Brettschneider twitter ben noll twitter

    Looks like this cold front mid-week next week and Lee will hook up and bring fall crashing our way. This will be a permanent step down in temps and our first big taste of fall.
  11. fountainguy97
    Looks like a warm week in the 80s and a few touches of 90 here and there but I see a lot of greens (50s) on the gfs on tidbits going forward!

    Paying for our mild summer with an endless summer. After the brief relief thanks to this tropical system gfs goes torch again. Of course it's wildly too hot normally.
  14. fountainguy97
    Yeah GFS brings that tropical storm through which would certainly help us out. It's on the extreme western edge of guidance though so not very likely at the moment.
  15. fountainguy97
    Man the gfs really wants to keep the heat around for another 10-14 days. I'm not surprised but I was hoping to see some fall mornings.
  16. fountainguy97
    Yeah these decadal sequences are tough to really apply just because of the sheer length of time between pattern changes. The current massive -PDO has surely been stubborn and may not flip at all. AMO is such a long pattern sequence it's tough to really get a grasp on. I haven't been alive in a -AMO regime. And I think it's not irrelevant to consider in this climate IF we will get a -AMO signal in the near future. Or maybe decades. I don't think we struggle with precip this winter. I'm more worried about too much of a good thing with the El Niño. Especially if we don't transition to more of a 3.4 focused Nino. We may blow right through any blocking we manage to get. there has been some cooling going on in the PDO region. Maybe we see it transport across the Pacific this fall.
  17. fountainguy97
    78/62 here today. Absolutely perfect. Enjoying it before this heat wave of death hits.
  18. fountainguy97
    Seeing my friends back in Eastern NC hit 90 at 9am sure has me thankful for the mountains today.
  19. fountainguy97
    With a descending QBO and solar activity rising toward peak the chances of blocking and a disrupted PV are increased. along with the active southern jet with the El Niño I'll take those chances any day. The only fly in the ointment is we need the El Niño to shift toward a more basin wide event vs eastern based. Models are predicting that so let's hope they are correct. Definitely some good signs heading into fall!

    4.52" here on the day. Easily the highest 24hr total here going back to July 2019 on my records. 5 hrs after rain we still have creeks flooding. I've never really seen the ditch along my property carry much water but it sounds like a river tonight.
  21. fountainguy97
    Over 2" already today. Easily heading to the largest single day total I've had here in the last 4 years.
  22. fountainguy97
    Man going to be an unusual day tomorrow for the middle of summer. Won't feel like it tomorrow. PWATs approaching 2". Probably going to be some flooding in the mountains of TN and NC if the 2-3+ inches materialize. The firehouse is already lined up.
  23. fountainguy97
    Peaked at 89.1 so far today. Have yet to hit 90 this year but I think we will do it this week. I won't be surprised if this week is the "peak" of our summers heat. Can't complain at all about the year we have had so far. A welcome relief compared to the last few Niña springs and summers. The gears of fall are slowly beginning to turn up north. August will be hot but my favorite time of year is just around the corner! This time of year is when I always start rummaging through old winter event threads and wishing for colder days.
  24. fountainguy97
    Checking in. It's hot. Is it December yet?
  25. fountainguy97
    Well with winter behind us here is my summary. 4 events behind normal. 11" behind average of the last 4 winters. (2019-2023 average)
