So are we raining late week or are we not?  The 12z GFS and Euro now both show most of the rain threat fading for Thursday while they try to get some coastal enhancement going on Friday.

Not sure how I feel about this. Like I get it with tornadoes that are on the ground about to destroy a town but blizzards are inherently dangerous so whats a dangerous blizzard?

I have no idea how they messed up the wording of winter type storms over the years.  Seems like no one was confused 30 years ago.

The winter weather advisory needs to be retired. Means nothing to anyone

[donsutherland1]

Unseasonable warmth will prevail through much of the first week of November. Parts of the region will likely reach or exceed 70° tomorrow through Thursday.

Dry conditions will likely persist until late in the week. The potential exists for a 1.00" or greater rainfall Friday into Saturday. Behind the storm, cooler but not especially cold air will move into the region during the weekend or early next week.

The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was +5.4°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was +3.4°C for the week centered around October 28. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged +5.22°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged +3.27°C. ENSO Region 1+2 breaks the all-time record while 3.4 ties the all-time record. The ongoing strong El Niño, will peak either this month or December. 

The SOI was -17.56 today.

The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was -0.384 today. 

 

[donsutherland1]

Today, Bridgeport, New York City (Central Park), and White Plains recorded highs of 66° and lows of 43°. Today is the first day on record that all three stations had identical high and low temperatures.

[MJO812]

Looks like the long range pattern gets more amplified as we head deeper into November.

[bluewave]

Record November CONUS warmth this month with this very amplified super El Niño pattern.

Warmth is shifting into the Northeast this week with numerous +10 to +15 departures next 5 days.

Then a pullback of the warmth to the Upper Midwest before surging back east again mid-November.

Areas that haven’t had their first freeze yet are going to have a very late first freeze. Spots that did have their first freeze will experience a very late first hard freeze.

This is wild weather. Very Denver like. Cool to cold nights and warm days. But last winter the steam pipe to my building at work burst under ground. They never fixed it, but put in this temporary system. Once it is on, it is on. So I’m still dressing like it is July. My office with the window AC on is a warm 74. Absolutely wild to to have the AC and heat blasting, but here we are.

Another great forecast of Mostly Sunny today by Upton

GOES-EAST US PSeUdo-Color LOOP

[SACRUS]

56 / 45 some clouds rolling through otherwise the dry and sunny low 70s int he warmest stations.  Continues and warmth peaks tomorrow with  sw flow and mid 70s perhaps better in the warmest spots.  Enjoy this stretch as First rain since Oct 16 or Oct 14th for our area and a chance of >1.00 inch  between Thu PM and Sat AM.  Beyond there near normal and likely turning wetter it'll be interesting going from 18-20 days of dry to see if we can get 3 days between rain chances moving past nov 5th.  Ridging and overall warm look to head back this way towards Nov 14th and beyond but liekly staying wetter.

1956: (1st-3rd) Eastern CO thunderstorms turned into a blizzard by night (1st); drifts to 12 feet high. 16 head of cattle were driven by winds against a fence where they were apparently killed by lightning.

1991: Brownsville, TX recorded its first snow since 11/28/1976. Only a trace fell but this stands out as significant, since snow occurred so far south so early and the fact that Portland, ME had not recorded its first snow of the season up to this date. The last measurable snow in Brownsville was way back in February 1895 when the local paper reported 5 inches on the ground. Brownsville did not receive measurable snow on any date in the 20th century.(Ref. AccWeather Weather History) Record cold prevailed across Colorado behind the "Halloween Mega Storm".

2001: Hurricane Michelle reached peak intensity on this day as a Category 4 storm. Michelle made landfall on November 4-5, between Playa Larga and Playa Giron, Cuba, as a Category 4 hurricane, the strongest to strike the country since 1952's Hurricane Fox. The storm caused an estimated $2 billion US dollars in damage to Cuba.

2002: A Magnitude 7.9 earthquake struck central Alaska. The quake is the 9th largest to be recorded in the US.

2007: Dense fog in the early morning hours resulted in a 100 vehicle pile-up just north of Fowler, CA on I-99. Two people were killed, and 41 others were injured. The thick seasonal fog is known as "Tule fog" and typically occurs in Central California in late fall and winter.
