November 2019 Observations and Discussion


Tom

Recommended Posts

The system that Clinton has been talking about on the 7th/8th has everything to do with the trough that has been spinning just west off the coast of CA.  The timing of when this energy ejects out into the plains while the northern jet drives south into the heartland will be the determining factor if we end up with a potential storm system to track.  My gut says the Euro has the right idea and has been slowly trending this energy to eject out quick enough and allow the time for a formidable system to develop.  With that being said, it's laying down a swath of accumulating snow from N MO/IL/IN/MI/OH.  Hopefully this trend will continue.

 

 

I'd like to dive in farther into this pattern and what will be another big clue for the winter pattern and this trough that has formed off the SW coast of the U.S. is an indicator of the STJ ramping up.  In the heart of winter, this is where you want storm systems or energy coming off the E PAC to track and ultimately phase with the northern stream.  IMO, this is an interesting feature of this pattern that has not happened yet since the start of the LRC.  As the jet continues to strengthen, we might see more of this down the road bc I have no doubt in my mind the NE PAC ridge is going to flex its muscles and this region may very well end up being a hot spot or the area where the Aleutian Low "hands off" energy into the SW U.S.

Good morning. At this time, it is cloudy and 37° here at my house. The official H/L for Grand Rapids yesterday was 44/33.  For the year Grand Rapids is now up to 44.72” of total precipitation. This year will end up with one of the highest precipitation amounts in Grand Rapids recorded history as GR is already in 10 place. The record in recorded history is 48.80” in 2008.  For today the average H/L is 54/37 the record high is 77 set in 1936 and the record low is 18 set in 1951. The coldest maximum is 31 set in 1951 and the record warmest minimum is 60 set in 1936. Last year the H/L was 50/38.

Good morning do you think there is a long term trough setting up along the Mississippi River causing storm to rapidly intensify as they move past?

Had a really intense burst of snow last night around 11:30. Things whitened up for a bit but it has since melted. Still some ice patches on the deck railing this morning. Gonna fire up the lawnmower one last time today and mulch leaves.

 

This NW flow that’s coming isn’t going to produce any exciting storms, but we will definitely see some snow over the next 2 weeks. Wednesday’s system looks decent right now for a quick couple of inches of snow.

I don't know.  GRR says NO big storms the next couple weeks, a couple clippers with rain/snow.  NW flow, but nothing like NOV of 2014.  they say accumulations are unlikely.

Yes, there is definitely a pattern developing right across the heartland where storms energize and then eventually peak in intensity across the OHV/GL's.  This is one of the more definitive storm tracks I've seen ever since I've been following the LRC.  A lot of times in years past, the storm track would favor one part of the Sub or the other.  This year, it does raise some eye brows as to where the pattern is heading.

May not be as extreme as Nov 2014, but we could be looking at a legit LES event. If your place is far enough away from the lakeshore you could score bigly.

CPC onboard for at least a risk of LES outbreak following that shortwave the Euro brings through the Lwr Lakes.  :)

North Texas is very average right now.

 

Temp - 55*. Forecast will be highs 55-70 over next 10 days

Lows in 40's.

No rain except a 30-40% chance Wed/Thurs

 

This is very average for us, nothing exceptional. All the off the charts stuff is in the northern half of the ConUS.

Have fun guys!

We'll be getting our turn at it soon enough. Especially if we don't get the break in the middle I was talking of. Right now, and in this pattern, 9-10 days is a long way away. A lot can change in model world.
