We will need to wait until Tuesday or Wednesday for this system to crash ashore and the National Weather Service’s weather balloons to get inside the storm and help out model forecasts. We finally do get relief in mid-late May, we a massive ridge of high pressure pumps up over Japan on May 11th, sticking around for a little while. I took a look over a few atmospheric indices for this time period, and the thing I’m not liking is the potential for low pressure to become stagnant over the West Coast. The last few weeks however has seen a remarkable turnaround. The return to winter in Vermont will last a few days but we can’t rid ourselves of this extremely adverse pattern. Any developments will be monitored. Based on how strong the high pressure system in the Arctic will be, I can see it possible that some isolated wintry precipitation may make its way into Florida over the next couple of weeks.

We are currently thinking the first 2 weeks of December will be the time when winter weather begins to surface over the US. I’ve been receiving these comments for 2 weeks now- enough is enough. A quick note, I have had at least 8 comments telling me that my late April-early May forecast was wrong, with more than a couple of these comments delivered with a less-than-enticing attitude. By the morning of May 9th, we see that the western portion of that elongated trough, seen in eastern China on the first image we analyzed, as now become a closed low and is progressing through Japan. With aforementioned high pressure in the West and low pressure in the East, conditions look to be ripe for storm formation in the Central US in this December 7-17 timeframe. The sea level pressure (solid lines) map for 5 PM Thursday, with surface winds and lower-atmosphere (925 hPa, about 3000 ft) temperatures, show very warm air in the Willamette Valley, with easterly flow over the Oregon Cascades.

First, snowstorm 101. It is hard to snow around western Washington and Oregon. While we have already had a snowstorm in the Plains and Upper Midwest, winter is still not ‘here’, so to say. So why is it still acting like fall? If you are looking to wear the winter work gloves for work, then you definitely need a harder thicker material to use like hard leather. 13 trillion. Looks like the Senator’s keen insight is very compatible with Bill Clinton’s experience. The storm itself remains far out to sea, away from any nearby weather stations in the Mainland that would otherwise help figure out model forecasts. One quick shout out before we go to all the folks who have worked so hard to recover from the disastrous Hurricane Irene. Larger airports have more than one frequency, different for each approaching plane, those who are near the airport and those that are stationed at the airport. You are intelligent and smart who strive for success and recognition.

There are a total of 4 regions, 1-4 with the first positioned close to South America and the fourth positioned close to the date line. Next, we’ll take a look at the close cousin of the Arctic Oscillation, the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO). Judging by the weak negative 500mb height anomalies, I’m only expecting a weak chill in the US, with the strongest cold weather allocated further north. I’m expecting some cool and stormy weather in mid-May to eventually give way to a shot of above-normal temperatures, before a cool spell returns for late May. By using the East Asia / Typhoon Rule, we can estimate that cool and stormy weather is can be expected around May 13-17th or so. The latest GFS Ensemble forecast above, valid on the evening of May 6th, shows troughing and cool weather present over Japan. Truth is, we may never know. I know it has taken a Herculean effort and many volunteering hours to prepare for this season after a weather event that none of us will soon forget. Please let us know if this limit is a problem for you and we’ll look at temporarily changing it. One of my favorite methods of glancing into the future is to actually look at what is happening with early season snow and ice expansion.

Much of the month of October continued to see a slow expansion of snow/ice and the month ranked 30th out of the last 44 October’s in total northern hemisphere snow/ice cover. This is very important in my view since some of the warmest winters have featured a combined October/November Northern Hemisphere snow cover area that is way below average. Elegant area is considered the most absolute best locations pertaining to price because it gives a great deal of desires concerning characteristics where adding specialist, no industrial and in addition business. I am sure I am not alone but I wish everyone involved a speedy road to recovery and the best of luck this season and beyond. It came in the midst of a rather unfavorable weather pattern with entrenched features that do no support sustainable cold or snow especially at this early juncture of the winter season. CROCUS Crocus are commonly seen in gardens and bloom intermittently during Autumn, Winter and Spring. It is a winter that should continue to feature a La Nina but one that of this date is half the strength of the 2010-2011 version. The signal strength is reduced by interference and walls. On one hand, below-normal SSTAs west of Baja California that try and curve southwestward near the -130 degree line of longitude would typically signal a -PDO.
