October 2026 general discussion

[Typhoon Tip]

I can already see the models festering in their schemes to create a snow chance in October ... Probably continues to deepen as these successive fast moving cold knife air mass inserts eventually mean bouts of early Lake Effect cold/LR convection grapple and cat paws.  Post the 15th this all gestates into an actual snow chance perhaps.  Or not, but the synoptically cryo supportive.    **This isn't associated with ENSO

I should also add ... warm ups after these successive cold shots may be equally handsome

(also low key our birthday is the 19th so hoping Mother Nature gives a snowy birthday present)

I like that the thread title is not factually inaccurate.

Euro AI and AIGFS like another system next weekend and beyond after the ridge moves out.  Similiar ideas with the GFS farther west than the Euro.

[rimetree]

Doesn't seem like we're done ramping up to an active fall. I'll take that 0z Euro run. Maybe the multi-year cycle of bore coming to an end.

This may be a setup for the Adirondacks to see first flakes by mid-October.

yup... I wrote about this stuff in that interim storm/Oct thread but since it's a qualitative on the month overall I'm putting it here:

Impressive +PNA index by October 10.  Does the PNAP respond ...?   

In November I'd say we're looking at an early winter trigger with this...   Mid October?  not so sure.  But it hearkens to mind an interesting aspect about our climate recency.

Multi-source/ heavily agreed upon +3 SD index and it's showing up on the actualized ensemble mean synoptic layouts, as an unusually deep and pervasive negative anomaly axis N/NE of HA in the Pacific.  It's also been been growing in coherence ... 

This strike me as a primitive telecon outlook/and attempt by the hemisphere to yet again ... snow in October.  

I gotta say... I saw it snow in October ..almost never in my first three decades living either in southern lower Michigan or SNE.  Since ~ 2005? at least half the Octobers, particularly in the last 15 years, have hosted either a snow or a cryo-supporting atmosphere.  Snowing in November has increased as well... though the startling earliness of Octobers - in no small part because it'll be snowing with still autumn foliage in the backdrops - is more impressive.    20 years worth ... let's see if we can add another October to the swelling sample size.

I'll sell that 87º the 12z GFS had for us on Friday.  GFS continues its warmista saga.

[Typhoon Tip]

Still, we're likely to average warmer than normal after Tues .. until that fropa late Friday or whenever that occurs.  It's a matter of how much.   Right now... 70s ought to do it.   The GFS flashed us with several runs the other day promoting a bigger show.  All we've really done since then is compress those heights - the ridge exertion is still technically there but yeah, the recent guidance are imposing more polar branch than priors.

it's been in the charts for days  yup.   

i looks shorter lived, however.   Pretty significant +PNA/+PNAP circulation mode sets up according to tele's and ext ens.   We'll see

yep, hoping for a stretch of AN weather next week, but it doesn't look like it's coming.  I've custom ordered paint for my 3 older vehicles to touch up some rust repairs I've been making.  Need a few days of warm, 70+ dry weather for the paint cure properly, and that doesn't look likely at this point in time.

You can get away with lower temps (50's is as low as you want to go), but Dry and Calm are mandatory.

Bugs are the biggest problem along with anything seeding out.

I actually prefer fall for painting.

I have a garage where I'll do the painting, but once the paint is on, i'll need good weather since it doesn't fit all 3 cars I'm working on:  my daily driver '97 Accord which is eucalyptus green pearl, wife's '00 Camry which is antique sage pearl, and the '03 Accord, which is satin silver metallic    

it's kind of interesting, both Accords rusted in the front sections of the rear wheel wells and up the running boards underneath the rear doors; the Camry rusted behind the rear wheel wells, and not nearly as much as the Accords

80s and dews later this week.

...Is it too early for me to come out of hibernation?  How much snow will I see this year?

Short-lived.

I'd just assume worm-hole to Columbus Day weekend...or indigenous ass-parade, or whatever in the hell the libs call it these days.

PS: It's Columbus Day.....he sailed the ocean blue-deal with it.

Put me in a coma until Thanksgiving.

[weatherwiz]

Since Thursday is October I'll just put this here

Might take a bit to climb on Thursday but we'll definitely see lower 80's within the region. Some of the typical torch spots would have a shot for mid 80's but the warmest llvl temps may get in a bit too late. We probably see a big regional temp spike though between 2-4 PM

First wide spread multi-regional frost/freeze potential 6th-7th?

Maybe putting an end to what has already been a very tame yellow jacket season in these parts.  Relative to normal at least.

Looks that way
