Tom Posted September 17, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2022 In other news, Nome, AK and the western shores of Alaska are going to get hit by a tremendous Bearing Sea storm! For those of you who watch the TV show Bearing Sea Gold...well, they are going to get a direct hit by this storm. I can't imagine witnessing hours upon hours of 70MPH+ winds and sea levels rise 8-11 Feet! Unfortunately, this will be devastating for the harbor and along the coastal shores where they do their gold mining. This is a worst case scenario due to the SW flow, High Tide, High Waves and the geography of the Bay. Prayers to all those who are in the storms path.

westMJim Posted September 17, 2022 Report Share Posted September 17, 2022 The number of daylight hours today is the same as it is on March 25th. The daylight hours will continue to get shorter as we slide deeper into fall and up to the start of winter. Yesterday the official H/L at Grand Rapids was 80/58 there was no rain fall and the there was 62% of possible sunshine. The official overnight low so far looks to have been 61 at GRR and here in MBY the low so far has been 62. For today the average H/L remains at 74/53 the record high of 92 was set in 1906 and the record low of 37 was set in 1902 and 1959. We look to remain warm until next Thursday with highs around 80 and lows mostly in the 60’s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted September 17, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2022 The thought just came to me about the LRC and how the current Bearing Sea Storm could potentially correlate to the opening week of OCT. Using the Bearing Sea Rule (BSR) as guidance, if we extrapolate 17-21 days it would line up with Oct 3rd-7th and that is usually the 1st days of the new LRC cycle in the mid latitudes. Wouldn't that be a wild way to open up the month of OCT? My 1st guess at this range would be a hard cutter up into the Upper MW/GL's region given the track this storm is taking up into the Bearing Sea, however, IF there is sufficient high lat blocking it could very well target the central Plains. This storm certainly has caught my attn now that we are getting closer to OCT and knowing that the new LRC pattern typically sets up earlier in the higher latitudes. It has all the traits of being a colder storm with a wintry side to it. I'm sure this will benefit the Rockies with a major snowstorm. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james1976 Posted September 17, 2022 Report Share Posted September 17, 2022 Comment from MSP AFD regarding the cooler air late next week. Possible upper 30s for lows. Other than rain chances, temperatures are the main topic for the week with above normal highs in the low to mid 80s for Monday and Tuesday dropping back into the 70s by Wednesday and 60s to end the week. Our coldest low for the week looks to be Friday morning in the upper 30s in central Minnesota down to the low 40s in the south. We aren`t quite in the range where frost starts becoming possible, however we are not that far off as climatologically St. Cloud has their first frost by September 27th, Eau Claire by September 30th, and the Twin Cities by October 11th. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andie Posted September 17, 2022 Report Share Posted September 17, 2022 North Texas will experience it usual warm up this coming week. We’ll reach 96-97 by the weekend. The following week however will offer a drop into the upper 80’s. September is always a month of variable temps as the fronts up north tempt us into thinking it might just be Fall! Were at 91* from a High of 94. 48% Humidity. The lower humidity makes it tolerable. 1 Quote Before You Diagnose Yourself With Depression or Low Self-Esteem,...First Make Sure You Are Not In Fact, Just Surrounded By A$$holes. “If I owned Texas and Hell, I would rent out Texas and live in Hell.” Gen.

westMJim Posted September 18, 2022 Report Share Posted September 18, 2022 The official H/L at Grand Rapids yesterday was 83/61 there was no rain fall before midnight. Yesterday had 62% of possible sunshine. Here in MBY I recorded 0.26” of rain fall overnight and had a low of 66. And that 66 is the current temperature. For today the average H/L is now down to 73/52. The average H/L has now dropped more than 10° from the summer high point. The record high of 94 was set in 1906 and the record low of 35 was set in 1973. Today thru Tuesday look to stay warm before a cool down to very early fall like temperatures by Thursday.

Tom Posted September 18, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2022 As I flipped through the models today, it struck me when I saw the 0z GEFS 500mb map showing Hurricane Fiona tracking up the western Atlantic into south of Greenland. Then, the Fujiwhara Effect takes place...Iirc, this was part of the LRC pattern that developed WAY back in early OCT last year?? I don't have my notepad with me but I recall commenting on this pattern last year when this was happening. @Clinton, do you remember this pattern and does it match up with the LRC cycle? I remember vividly watching a video on year from Gary Lezak, commenting on how a hurricane in the ATL was in the process of merging in with new LRC and old LRC during the later part of SEP. This is prob whats happening now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we are only about a week away from seeing the models start to pick up on a whole new pattern. Exciting times for me as I'm ready to get a glimpse of a new pattern. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james1976 Posted September 18, 2022 Report Share Posted September 18, 2022 MSP AFD says Tuesday may be the last day in the 80s up here. Temperatures look to generally be in the 40s and 50s for lows and 60s for highs through the rest of the week after Tuesday. Our next best chance for precipitation after Tuesday looks to be late Friday into Saturday along a more potent looking shortwave, however being several days away at this point confidence is low in the timing and location for now.
