September 2019 Observations and Discussion

Its like the KS border has a dang cold air blocking wall. :( Stupid ridge.

attachicon.gifgfs_T2ma_us_24.png

Lets see if the models handle the blocking up north better in the coming days.  These maps below at both 10mb/30mb tell me the models will revert back to a -AO in the longer range.  The last few frames show an expanding area of warming in the Strat near the Pole.

Our dewpoint has risen to 74.  Unfortunately, the band of showers moving across Iowa is crapping out.

I did notice this morning that in AO/NAO guidance, the GFS is only scoring a .38 or so at days 7-10 right now while scoring .70 to .80 at 1-7 and 10-15, so there's that. The models just disappointed me right now.

 

I guess when you KNOW what's coming and don't see it when you should, it gets frustrating.

 

Even the Bering Sea agrees with me (cooling in the medium term), plus the cooling SW of Mexico. I just have to be more patient. I hate that word. Patient. Lol

How was your wedding? Was the sun out on Saturday for pictures?

 

Wedding was literally perfect. Everything went perfect. Couldn't be happier.

 

The sun was not out, but I was told that this is actually a good thing. Photographers / videographers actually prefer an overcast for pictures so you don't have to deal with sunlight messing with things. There were some sprinkles, but nothing major. There was a point where I thought we for sure were going to get rained up, but it somehow avoided us until later at night when we were inside already anyway. It was nice and cool, which is perfect with the tuxes. Would much rather have that then the warmer weather we've had the last couple days here.

The Wx God's were listening and watching out for you!

 

@ Okwx, quite the changes showing up on today's 12z GEFS....much more blocking and a shift towards a NW NAMER ridge in the extended...

Winds on N Lakes Michigan and Huron are expected to reach 40-50 mph. Who needs #Dorian?

 

Meanwhile, waiting and watching for discreet cell development this evening ahead of the CF.

Feels like our July did. Not quite as humid today after some T-storms last evening rolled through. Now that we've had nice MI summer during August, it's hard to go back to that, lol.

OT:  It seems that Terry Swails is no longer chief met at KGAN in Cedar Rapids.  I'm guessing they just didn't renew his contract.  He can't be cheap.  That's too bad, because he's pretty good and he's a snow geek.  He still updates his website, so I can follow him there.

That's getting back closer to what I knew was coming. The last 72 hours kinda shook my confidence a bit even though I knew it didn't look right. The model's progression was off with the tropics influencing everything. You can't re-cycle Bering Sea lows around for 20 days and not get s result.

 

At least they got the hurricane right though. I'll take that. Those folks needed to know.

Sure enough, same ole same ole pattern = splitsville for Marshall. That warned cell that hit St. Joseph is taking the same track as earlier and diving just south of Marshall. While another line fires up and stays just north of Marshall. And as I've seen many times this summer, smaller cells fire up just east of me and douse Albion and KJXN.

Wow, that is just unbelievable for Marshall. It just does not want to give a decent t'stm ova your area. I saw the radar and its exactly like you are explaining it in your post above. Weird weather stuff there buddy, that's for sure.

 

Radar showing a decent cluster of storms just north of your area making a b-line towards Macomb County. Hoping it makes the trip. Dew is at 69, so it should across the state. :blink:

Daylight is quickly dwindling as today marks the last day of the year I'll see 13+ hours of daylight (6:19am sunrise, 7:19pm sunset).  It's a refreshing and cool morning (60F/54F).  Cool days and nights ahead and spectacular weather shaping up for opening day as the NFL season kicks off Thursday night along the lakefront at Soldier Field with our rivals...Bears vs. Packers...

Mid 80s showing up mid next week. Will it happen?

It's likely as a storm is set to track NW of us but then I'm expecting another cool down.

 

Very nice morning. Had the windows open all night. My phone says 52. On the way into work my car dipped down to 49 for a couple mins!

Autumn is here...

Just 0.02" of rain here at my house. Even less at the GR airport where just 0.01" was reported.  The thunderstorm drought continues as well as for the summer of 2019 there where just 17 thunder events at GRR. Have clear skies and a current temperature of 58 here at my house. While it happens ever year there is now some color on the Maple trees some yellow on some of the other trees in this area, Note that doesn't mean there will be a early color as this happens almost every year around this time.

Yeah I was just reading DMX and they said it should be short lived as another cold front is expected mid next week. We're kind of on a roller coaster right now.

Yup, tis the season for this type of wx pattern as we encounter an active pattern which is forthcoming over the next couple weeks around our Sub.

Our dew is sitting at 55, nice.  Unfortunately, warm front comes back up tonight and a high of 93 tomorrow with humidity.  I am looking at the extended and hoping that might be the last day this year of that type of heat plus humidity.  We are used to swings in temperatures around here, but when it warms up in September it is typically not accompanied by these dews in the low 70's that we have had for months it seems.  Nice reprieve today though.

OT:  It seems that Terry Swails is no longer chief met at KGAN in Cedar Rapids.  I'm guessing they just didn't renew his contract.  He can't be cheap.  That's too bad, because he's pretty good and he's a snow geek.  He still updates his website, so I can follow him there.

I was wondering why he hasn't been on TV recently. I haven't seen him on KGAN since early August. They removed him from the people page on the KGAN website. I wonder who will take his place as the chief met.
