Typhoon Tip

"Wilmaaaa ... stop this crazy thing!"

wow 160

yeah, i was mentioning the physical presentation on satellite has that extremely small eye radii look that noted very deep bombs have had in the past. wilma is great example of that. i wasn't sure at the time if that was not just a mimicry based on incidental cloud morphology but seeing that 32 in 4 hour thing - this may as well be a f'n tornado.

if it were not for the fact that 00z euro-like shenanigans have actually taken place in objective reality ...several times since the year 2000, i'd say the euro's 00z sell for day 7.5 is impressive. but as it were ( and has been ) that model's solution is becoming expected - it seems to be a part of this local era climate signal to do so in late oct! either way, with huge air mass d(types) over climatological shallow time changes, the charts are starting to remind me of that back half of october into early novie 2020. not calling for any anologs ... just sensible weather look. it should be noted that both the ggem and gfs for that d6-8 have at least, albeit transient, whole sale +pnap and cold snap advection synoptics for the eastern gl/ n ov and ne regions. as an aside ... recall 2020 saw a sizable snow anomaly ( rel to climo ) drop through the region on oct 30, and then by the 6-10th of novie was 70 to 80 in the interior.

bullish on the intensity forecast .. now lower category 5 by tuesday evening right now on ir the eye has the dreaded pin-prick look - not sure what the dimensions really are. it may just be an artifact nuance but in and of itself the teeny eye axis surrounded by -90c ring has been noted of very deep bombs. think wilma -

milton 125 mph 945 mb ... drop 9 mb! special advisory posted... ri underway

sort of a warm/cool tussle going on in the guidance after mid week tho. the higher latitude indices are in a warm phase. the pna is in positive mode. ...and the operational guidances are yo-yoing the pattern across the continent about evenly between which one of those larger scaled circumstances will proxy our daily weather from roughly the 10th -20th

watch the mid week cool pop end up so windy that last night is the coolest night in the stretch lol not sayn that's happening just that it'd be apropos for climate-any-excuse-to-not-be-as-cold-as-guidance-complexion-change

still thinking frost or near frost mid week, but we may regress back to a warm up thereafter ... it's difficult with conflicting upstream signals but the wpo/epo is warm mid month and the ao/nao are creeping positive... yet the pna is stubbornly positive. not sure how that's going force the dailies - the wave lengths aren't quite long yet. it's interesting that we're seeing those cold meanders though.

interesting ... it would be about 14 years again until a real october snow either would or chance take place in the general ne ... and since, about 1/2 the years in the last 22 of them have carried that as an at minimum threat if not realization.

well like i was telling Ray a moon or two ago ... there's nothing about the entirety of the state of the climate ( yet ) that suggests a 2015 february can't redux. even 50% of a redux would be a crushing win over these last 7 inches ... uh, i mean years of winters we've been boned by whether the indices align or not ...that's what i'm personally wondering. we may get more of the idiosyncratic or incongruous events from the excessive variability, week to week. heh ... could get the winter quota in 3 storms over 10 days and we're back to cargo shorts

i like how the bay area of san francisco got whacked by 90+ heat. it's very hard to do that there. that w--> e replacement flow through the golden gate straight is very difficult to stop and takes some pretty amazing circumstances to stop it. i've been out there when it was 101 on the eastern shore of the bay and we couldn't get over 70 down by the marina district. on the other side of the penn on the pac side it's in the 60s with pants flapping in the crushing onshore laminar flow. yet i think they've been close to 80 on the sand in this thing

a problem with this is idea above is considering the quasi decoupled tendencies. global patterns appear at times disconnected from enso forcing. this can happen at any time, ..depending on the total integral of influences, usually more transient. but the observations of it have been increasing over the last 10 years with some times even nino modes showing up during and post ninas and vice versa. if 'la nada' prevails this ensuing season, it seems logical that these notable excursion tendencies may also factor and screw up inferred models there, too

research is nearing the codification of a new enso mode ... 'la neutered' ...it's basically huge negative/positive departures, while the wholesale surrounding global medium behaves like which ever it is, it's completely ballless to motivate any response at all

i suspect what he meant was ... 'when was the last time all three months were individually below average' i don't mean to speak for torch tiger and i may not be right about that, but just in general ... often times in common vernacular folks will confuse aggregate vs qualitative

it's not very often you see a cool front approaching with a ne wind out ahead of it

check out this la la range euro solution. impressive 850 mb thermal spread n-s through the continent. it looks like a one of those early heat expulsions you get in april.

heh ... considering that the whole world put up the 2nd warmest sep in history ... not sure we can say 'due to +epo' as the singular cause for that but yeah, it wasn't hurting to have the pacific signal as such

it'll be less than that unfortunately for cold enthusiasts.

tough to argue

it's a'ight ... it's just been a long while since anyone's given ww's chode hairs a tug so felt morally obligated -

the thought had crossed my mind ..but i really suspect that's a standing order every autumn during this particular era of cc - yeah ...it's related to that forcing so anyone that wants to roll their eyes can summarily go f themselves. sick of dancing around other people's denial with diplomacy while the world races to the cliff -

+pna/-nao continues in both the production version/means, and the ensemble-based teleconnectors. interesting that the pac is stuck in that +wpo/+epo while the above persists. anyway ... the gfs (operational) is trying to sell 'blue' thickness intrusion/oscillatory pattern ... beginning by the end of the week. frost(s) would like take place on any interim night in that regime between ~ 9th and the 16th. the tendency to over exemplify base patterns in that time range, notwithstanding.

may not be appropriate for this thread ? japan set the 2nd warmest september since records began back in 1898 according to the meteorological agency. "But some regions, including eastern and western parts of mainland Japan, logged the highest ever average temperatures for September since comparable data began available in 1946, the agency added." given to the damning global surgence of warmer than normal just about anything that can be defined, i feel that cited statement is probably more important than the fact that this particular september was "only" the 2nd warmest ever. a completely chaotic timed cloudy day comes along enough to hide a 10th of a degree and we're enabling deniers - ( https://phys.org/news/2024-10-japan-hottest-september.html )
