  I don't see much change here over the next 4 weeks while this drought-anchored heat ridge-dome of hades hangs tough. 

Yeah. 96* today. 😣  And 6 more days just like it until we finally hit a high of 89* !

SO! Tired of this heat.

The Stratospheric warming over Eurasia during the past 2+ weeks is going to be a Big clue for the month of OCT and how fast or slow the snow cover advances across Russia.  I'm curious to see what Judah Cohen has to say as we head deeper into Autumn.  The animation below suggests a very strong Eurasia High Pressure during the month of OCT and that signals very cold air to brew in the region.  Let's see if this LR clue has any validation.

3 La Nina's in a row is rare. Definitely intriguing. Really hope we all can enjoy a real winter but man, these longgggggg summers/ no fall thing is becoming a drag. I know its only mid Sept and still summer but I just assume it's gonna be 85 on Halloween 🤣 Hope it's not. Still 60s in my grids next Wednesday-on.....so I'll take that and run.

Wasn't it just 3 yrs ago Chicago had a snowstorm at Halloween? It's not always summer, tho I would rather it be nice at Halloween instead of Christmas and NY's like lately.

Nina's have delivered some really good Decembers here in Detroit. Including the all-time 2nd biggest snow on record back on 12-1-74. My current locale likely did very well per regional reports off the NOWdata website. The epicenter was near here with DTW at 19.1" and UofM Ann Arbor scoring 20". What a way to start your MET winter, eh? Ahhhh..that 70's Show. After a pair of personal duds, I'm ready for a legit winter again. As always, promising signs and signals don't guarantee the goods get delivered but here's to hoping I don't have to wait until February to get my first storm again. Niko (hey Buddy!) will tell you nature's going to do whatever it wants to, but once in a while the dice do come up with boxcars. Every autumn hope springs eternal for the upcoming snow season! But first, we need to be tracking some autumn windstorms and even a November powerhouse would be awesome. Hoping we all score a share the wealth winter.

I can't remember regarding the snowstorm but so far this early Fall has been nice and fall-like weather so I'm happy with that.

Yuck. Steady or expanding drought across the Plains through the end of the year. Just can't break the pattern.

Just hard to do now that we’re entering the winter months. Obviously we’re gonna receive less liquid precip this time of the year. We need some sort of moisture this fall that’s for sure.

Good article.   Here’s hoping the Neutral materializes come Spring/Summer.

The new Euro Seasonal came in the other day, and I must say, ya'll ready???

OCT....carbon copy of the JMA weeklies....see my post in OCT thread....

NOV...Hello Greenland Block...Inside Sliders???

You can get an idea of where there will be regions of colder air....this model is terrible at seeing BN temps in the LR...heck, look at Alaska, there is just one or two teeny tiny blips of BN temps....ummm, ya...you really think that ends up being correct...I think not.

Impressive run off the Euro Weeklies last evening for the opening weeks of NOV...

Before then, however...signs of a possible window of opportunity for a period of Indian Summer for the later part of OCT.  Maybe a warm Halloween for some??  Would be a nice reprieve from the early onslaught of cooler weather for those who will need to start doing some yardwork and the Fall clean up begins.

I don't see the south getting a true reprieve in any of those patterns. Cold fronts proving to be weak and the omega block seems to stay in the wrong place.

My honest 2c worth. I just don't honestly see much interest down here til fall is gone.

Looks like a blast up north and probably excitement for autumn everywhere.

I'm not big on analog based forecast but Joe D'Aleo posted this in regards to having 3 consecutive La Ninas.  The cold matches up well with the pattern we are having and are forecasted to have the next week or so, the LRC would suggest when this part of the pattern returns in late Nov or Dec artic air will spill into the  middle part of the country.  I would like to see precipitation analogs with this but he hasn't posted any yet, right now imo it looks VERY dry unless you live around the lakes.

The IRI model suite suggests a La Nina this winter.

Screen_Shot_2022_10_10_at_8_09_32_AM.png

This would be the 3rd successive La Nina. Two prior 3 year La Ninas were the mirror opposite.

1998/99, 1998/2000, 2000/01 ended with a very cold November and December and cold winter.

1973/74, 1974/75, 1975/76 ended with a warmer central and east cold west and Canada.

Focusing on La Ninas with warm water NPAC is colder.

Screen_Shot_2022_10_10_at_6_58_11_AM.png

The preliminary summer based statistical blend is very much like the WB forecast with cold biased central. New inputs are arriving daily - so more to follow.

@Clinton

Thanks for sharing that from Joe D.

Ofc, I'm in The Lakes and in those (2) analogs are at least (3) historic months for this region - Dec '74, Jan '99, & Dec '00

There are also some gross duds in the mix, lol.

Torn on buying into analogs too, since they've become randomly absent when expectations are high. 🙃

The JMA weeklies from yesterday painting a strong indication that there will be an enhanced jet stream over the southern US for Week 2 and the West Coast folks.

Week 3-4...Boy, that Greenland Block...I see that Beauty of a West-Based Block...this is exactly where it developed and cycled over and over again last Oct thru this past Summer!  Who says the weather doesn't cycle?  A repeat scenario this next cold season could indicate another Big clue for a -NAO for longer periods.

Temps...looking out into the first couple weeks of NOV, most of the Nation appears to have seasonal temps except for the Upper MW and the central Plains.

Precip...Inter-Mountain West looks bountiful and a sliver into the central Plains/Upper MW....I assume that we will begin to see the quintessential La Nina pattern as an active N Stream develops.

Starting to believe we may see cycles of something unfamiliar in recent years....

Split-flow and phasing. 

This winter looks near crazy historic even without la Nina as a factor. 

Major mets are teaching about polar blasts and cold waves already. Thats pretty much something big right there.

Another caveat...What's going to happen is the CP enso warming as we go is going to take the show at times. 

If a cycle and attendant storms linger here for 4-5 days in October after a drought....

Well, big flip is all i can say.

As Texas looks ahead to a beautiful Fall we haven’t forgotten we must stay aware of winter’s issues.  With that, Texas’ power leadership has a new “sheriff.”  Let’s hope they’re building up to meet our increase in population   

A new CEO of Texas power grid manager aims to rebuild trust as another winter approaches

"So we continue to be tested, we continue to pass those tests," said Pablo Vegas, the new head of the Electric Reliability Council of Texas. He said reliability is key to restoring public trust in the state's power grid.

FINALLY! Someone that may know how to fix the Texas Power grid! I've heard that ERCOT may have gotten purged because of the fiasco from the February 2021 Extreme Snow and Ice, and the close call with the Summer of 2022 extreme heat.

I hope they chose well, both the exits and hiring.   Population has really grown. A lot of utility demand with all these new homes being built with west coast refugees and even some from the migrants renting, passing through, etc. 

Everyone is hoping for an average winter. No super cold events, but I’m hearing we may be disappointed. 

Low of 69 tonight. The front will reach DFW area around noon.
Morning rain.  Hoping it pours!

Bastardi seems to think the MJO will head into the null phase and then emerge into phase 8 and 1.  That could make for a very cold Dec if that happens.  The GFS might be starting to trend that way.

I'm targeting a storm to track over the central SUB between 10/31 - 11/3 with a classic winter storm "look" to it...BSR suggesting a potentially interesting set up.

Classic! Just add moisture..boom! 👍

Have to admit. Between the early freeze, the awesome color show here, and the very favorable history for triple-Ninas, I'm getting stoked at the chances of a good winter here in far SE corner of The Mitt. 

As I commented on when @Clintono shared D'aleos outlook, this region normally does well in 2 out 3 winters. 

Of the current cycle, first one was a nothing-burger, last winter only slightly better (Lansing did good-they we're ground zero). Perhaps this season Ma Nature makes up for the last two?

We did get our morning rain but it was light.  More chances later today.  
Cloudy, 67* at 11:30 and that’s nice. 
The change is here.
