The MJO is moving into phase 6 and may stay there for awhile. Phase 6 is not only warm in Oct but also dry in the central part of the country. We have great blocking setting up and other good teleconnections but we are missing the most important ingredient to have a snowy winter and that is storms. Hopefully, it may try to go further than that, what are the most favorable MJO phases for October? Quote Never say Never with Weather, because anything is possible!

Niko Posted October 14, 2022 Report Share Posted October 14, 2022 Weather here in S MI is about to get wacky early next week. NOAA: Even colder air is set to arrive early in the week Monday and Tuesday as the next strong wave causes the centroid of the stacked low to relocate southward from southwest Ontario to Southern Lake Huron. Northerly flow behind this wave will be a direct feed from northern Canada with ECMWF showing 850mb temps in the negative teens. Currently this airmass is slated to drop into the Midwest, slightly modifying over the western Lakes before reaching lower MI. Still, 850mb temps around -5C will stall over the region resulting in highs in the low 40s Monday and Tuesday. Models are actually showing precip to be all snow in the higher terrain of the Irish Hills Monday night. Still time to work out those details but forecast will have snowflakes mentioned for that period. Monday Night Rain/Snow Likely Low: 31 °F @jaster220I think we will see our first snowflakes of the season early next week and pretty darn early this year, right?! We could be all snow Mon-nite as temps fall below freezing. 3 Quote Snowfall for Winter 2023 -24 for Metro Detroit Area Oct 2023: 0.2" AN Nov 2023: 2.2" AN Dec 2023: 0.5" BN Insane!

You have no idea how much I'm enjoying this pattern evolve over here. It's not often, esp in recent years, that storms come off the PAC this far south into the So Cal/4 Corners region. IMHO, this is a massive clue that the new LRC is showing itself. As I have opined, this Split Flow pattern is going to produce some interesting storm systems this Winter. Not sure if ya'll can read this Blog bc it is a great read and exactly what I have been thinking about over the past week or so when I saw this pattern in the modeling. https://blog.weather.us/ever-wonder-or-hear-of-what-a-split-flow-is/ Snowklahoma is what that (blog post)means.

westMJim Posted October 14, 2022 Report Share Posted October 14, 2022 Welcome to Friday the 14th The official H/L at Grand Rapids yesterday was 53/43 there was officially 0.19” of rain fall and there was a trace of snow fall. I would report that snow fall as small hail as that is what fell here in MBY. There was 18% of possible sunshine between showers. Here in MBY I recorded 0.66” of rain fall as of 7 AM. The overnight low here in my yard was 38 and that is the current temperature with light rain falling. For today the average H/L is 62/43 the record high of 83 was recorded in 1892, 1897 and 1975. The record snow fall is a trace on several years. The record low of 29 was set in 1937. Last year the H/L was 72/52 and there was 0.29” of rain fall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chescowxman Posted October 14, 2022 Report Share Posted October 14, 2022 We picked up 1.16" of rain in East Nantmeal yesterday. Beautiful weather over the weekend before a sharp cold front crosses the area on Monday. After that the chilliest weather of the fall season is on tap for Chester County. Many spots (if they have not already) will see their 1st frost and possibly the first freeze...and the end of the growing season by either Wednesday or Thursday morning. The record high for today is 85 degrees set back in 1975. The record low is the 27 degree low from 1988. The daily rainfall record is 1.05" from 1977.

Clinton Posted October 14, 2022 Report Share Posted October 14, 2022 The GFS has been trending more organized with a system coming out of the SW along the southern jet. It's around the day 10 range but if it verifies it would be the first organized storm to move through the central plains in October. The Euro Control has a similar looking storm only a few days later, the moisture will be welcome the drought is intensifying in the Mid West. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grizzcoat Posted October 14, 2022 Report Share Posted October 14, 2022 How good or bad has CPC been the last month??? the Heidke skill scores from CPC at the 8-14 range leave something to be desired. Understanding the skill score The Heidke Skill Score (HSS) compares how often the forecast category correctly match the observed category, over and above the number of correct "hits" expected by chance alone. This score utilizes the number of correct and incorrect category hits. The values range from -50 to 100. A score of 100 indicates a perfect forecast and a score of -50 indicates a perfectly incorrect forecast. Scores greater than 0 indicate improvement compared to a random forecast and indicate skill. So a score below 0 indicates no skill or lack of one. Blue in the below map. OUCH!!! Can't be worse in the Deep South. I can't recall seeing an avg so low at 1.9. Just about better flipping a 3 sided dice. 3 Quote The two loudest sounds known to man: a gun that goes bang when it is supposed to go click and a gun that goes click when it is supposed to go bang.

Grizzcoat Posted October 15, 2022 Report Share Posted October 15, 2022 Potential record breaking cold this Tues AM here in C.IA specifically for KDSM. AFD talking about it. No local media. Imagine that. If it was"potential" record warmth- local CBS channel would be all over it from days on out. But no mention last night on all 3 major networks. Probably will not happen, but the hype and circumstance certainly is not the same compared to potential "record breaking heat" ( off which no MAX records where broke this summer, but the common person would think I'am nuts) --- the record is 22F in 1972. I get it-- I'am biased. But don't think for a second that the media isn't. 1 2 1 Quote The two loudest sounds known to man: a gun that goes bang when it is supposed to go click and a gun that goes click when it is supposed to go bang.
