The Canadian looks good for us on the 12th but shows some ice on the 8th and 9th yikes.

Nice to see a/the more active period approaching us. Kinda perfect timing in my book - a 3rd of the way into Dec and on-wards.

Showing up on radar too. Man I would love to see pictures of what this thing looks like!

I can only imagine what it must be like heading towards a wall of dust...never encountered that and I don't think I want to at all.

I am not sure what is happening to my forecast for next week, but man, those temps are getting substantially warmer (from the low 30s for highs are now showing mid 40s w/ rain chances), not sure if its a glitch or some crazy model they are looking at. The projected cold blast is nearly gone for all of next week. Wow!

It takes cold air to get dynamic systems and it seems prevalent so far this autumn. Really like seeing stuff like this:

There is now an increasingly likely chance that a short-fused
storm warning will be issued for Saturday morning.

Sorry to flood the board with boring stuff but this just amazes me. The haboob is still showing up, granted harder to see, on the radar. This is something straight out of the 30’s. If we don’t see much precip in the plains this winter it’s only gonna get worse.

From GRR:

Using a momentum transfer of 10mb (a bit deeper of a calculation)
in BUFKIT overviews for mixing depth some sites in our forecast
area hit 46-48 knots (52-55 mph). That type of mixing is possible
near and behind the cold front. Scattered power outages are
likely from falling limbs and trees. With the leaves gone this
will be tougher to do, but weaker/rotted limbs and trees will
certainly have the opportunity to come down in this type of wind.

NOAA:

Modest warm advection pattern for Saturday night will be interrupted
by a Pacific shortwave racing through Alberta and tracking through
the day on Sunday. A weak warm advection pattern will return for
early next week as sprawling high pressure moves to the Eastern
Seaboard and the upper level flow becomes pseudo zonal for a short
period. Very tight baroclinic zone over the northern Tier of the
CONUS will make for a low confidence forecast by mid week, with
potential southern and northern branch interaction.

Finally sinking in just what the 18z run meant, so I looped it and think I just wet myself, lol. What a wx fantasy run for SMI. Like DEC '00 redux craziness. Three strong storms target this region in roughly a (10) day period.

Hmmm, not liking these trends if your near the MW/Lower Lakes region...bad timing to see a spike in the EPO...good for @hawkstwelveand those north of the "Cheddar Curtain"...if your looking for a Silver Lining, this bodes well for the middle of the month for those farther South across the SUB.  Gotta lay the groundwork up north and cover the bare ground.

Noticeable trends N with the Snow mean over the past 24 hours...get ready for some nail biting, nerve wrecking, model watching this entire week!  LOLz

All historical weather data analytics posted by me is specifically for the climate of Chester County PA.  We continually analyze the actual raw non-adjusted NWS certified Coop observed climate data for Chester County.  There have been no post observation adjustments to any of the detailed analytics. All data is sourced from trained NWS observers and spotters. The life blood of science is to challenge what is thought to be known. The concept that climate change etc. is somehow “settled science” describes a religion - a belief system that does not welcome challenges. We should all continue to challenge science!    Snow Totals 2023/24 = 24.5" -  11/28 (0.3") / 12/7 (0.8") / 12/11 (0.8") / 1/6 (2.0") / 1/16 (2.8") / 1/19 (4.5") / 2/13 (10.5") / 2/17 (2.8")

Average Chester County PA Snow at elevations over 660 FT ASL (1983-Present) = 35.9" Snow totals by season: 2022/23 (2.7") /2021/22 (20.5")  2020/21 snow  (52.2") /  2019/20 snow (5.8" )/ 2018/19 snow (35.1" )/ 2017/18 snow (58.5") / 2016/17 snow (24.0")/ 2015/16 snow (40.8")/ 2014/15 snow = (55.3") /2013/14 snow (80.0").

FWIW the 6z Euro control has gone back to a colder solution for Iowa and Illinois for the storm on the 8th - 10th.  The I-80 corridor and north could be in for a nice one.

I hope this can make it at least a little interesting around here. Another rainer would be par for the course, but chuck me a bone please.

Next week features 40s ( and mid to upper 40s) w rain chances. To sum it all up...near to above normal temps. Not sure how models lost that cold air for next week. It could stay mild and wet till about mid December. Time will tell. So far, first half of December ...No Good!!!! Now, the good thing about this is that people who need to decorate outdoors will have splendid weather for that. So, take it as you wish!!

12z GEFS showing multiple waves much like the 10/23-10-30 series of storms.  Here is a view of the ensembles to the best of my ability to split them up.  Still lots of spread on precip amounts, type and timing.  Not sure if this will loop but I'll give it a try.
