Last year’s runners up will finish second with plenty of distance from third. GET OUT OF YOUR VEHICLE AND LIE FLAT IN A DITCH AS A LAST RESORT. VEHICLES STOPPED UNDER BRIDGES BLOCK TRAFFIC AND PREVENT PEOPLE FROM GETTING OUT OF THE STORM`S PATH AND TO SHELTER. SEEK SHELTER ON THE LOWEST FLOOR OF THE BUILDING IN AN INTERIOR HALLWAY OR ROOM SUCH AS A CLOSET. DO NOT USE HIGHWAY OVERPASSES FOR SHELTER. OVERPASSES DO NOT PROVIDE PROTECTION FROM TORNADIC WINDS. As many of you know, high pressure systems spin winds in a clockwise formation, while low pressure systems go counter-clockwise. We still see a high pressure system in the Midwest and Plains, but not as strong as the GFS for this same timeframe. This forecast is for the morning of December 26th. We can see our storm system in the Southeast, with a pressure at or just below the 1000 millibar mark. We can see Hurricane Gordon to the upper right corner of the image, which is moving towards Europe.

This is a primary reason why I believe the new model trend of westward motion is right and why the Gulf of Mexico is at risk. Click on the Open Full Gallery link found in the lower right corner of this window to get a summary of all available buttons. Just light it, slightly crack a window and feel the heat. The system remains out in the Pacific, meaning weather balloon data is unable to sample it, and the model forecasts are thus hindered in their accuracy. Moving ahead to the morning of December 27th, we see that the system has bombed out and is moving up the East Coast with a minimum pressure of 988 millibars. Plumbers rely highly on these gadgets in order to carry out multiple technical works. However, now that there are multiple high pressure systems, there are next to no cracks for the system to break through and move north. It is not often you see a storm system produce a moderate risk in December, so let’s look at the set up. If you look closely, you can see the highest vorticity values tilting to the southeast. They can also give the impression that the garden is bigger or alternatively they can give the impression that the open space is bigger.

If we were to use this to give a rough estimate on the possible track of Invest 94, I could easily see it drifting west and following the band of winds that cuts through the Caribbean. The element of Earth, which rules over 2008 will likely give Ox people extra power and make them possessive and uncompetitive. Model guidance indicates the storm system will continue to churn in the Southern Plains, with the previously mentioned warm front now becoming stationary and draping itself over much of the slight risk area. However, the system would likely stay north of the full extent of the current, opting to enter the northern Caribbean and continue west, as model guidance is in agreement with at this time. USE BLANKETS OR PILLOWS TO COVER YOUR BODY AND ALWAYS STAY AWAY FROM WINDOWS. But before I begin my exploration, I should say my use of “meteorology” embraces all the fields represented in the current portfolio of AMS journals.

That means you can use them when it is warm or wet, or especially in regions without winter. You can find the TCF’s Home page by clicking here. This prediction can be indicated by a hint bit in the branch opcode. The other, FV-3, will continue and deepen National Weather Service isolation from the US academic community and continued mediocrity in global weather prediction. Instead, this is more relevant for the late fall and early winter period, to try and establish what kind of shape the stratospheric polar vortex will be in as winter begins. For more information go here. This signifies a negatively tilted storm system, meaning cold air is more prevalent aloft, and thus enhancing severe weather potential. Once again, we see the storm system in the Southeast and a strong high pressure in the Plains in an act known as suppression, where the storm is forced south and thus suppressed from moving north.

There are going to be relatives visiting the Gulf Coast who may not be familiar with the area (weather-wise), and thus may not know how to appropriately handle such a severe weather risk. If such a positive PNA evolves, you are not going to see the storm be suppressed south and then go up the East Coast. A positive PNA induces conditions that prefer a storm track in the Ohio Valley and Midwest, like previous ECMWF runs were showing. The GFS/GFS Ensembles take a positive PNA, while the ECMWF goes negative PNA. This is a typical negative NAO pattern, something I will address below. But looking at the teleconnection forecasts for the NAO, we actually see a neutral NAO. Such a neutral NAO would not push the storm up the coast, but rather could push the storm out to sea without going up the coast. A neutral NAO and negative PNA would not suppress the storm south and bring it up the coast, unless this is an anomaly situation, which it should not be. In short, if the snow cover anomaly maintains an above normal stance for the month of October, the Arctic Oscillation should be watched for a negative state this winter.
