Damn, I may need to water next week.

31.6°F this morning at the casa. Looks like the fall weather ahead we never had in our meteorological fall. 70s, 80s, but not ridiculously high DPs.

Happy New Year, y'all.

Across the board, it looks like an Eastern ridge vs. a Western trough when we approach the 10-15th. We'll see who wins.

I’ll enjoy it while I can. Cold is definitely coming in a couple weeks or so. Just don’t know how cold.

The ridge will be persistent mostly until around the 17th/18th.

The Western trough is looking weaker. Maybe tomorrow's prog will be better.

If this were May, I'd be celebrating.

At least the DP isn't high. Yet. lol

What's been happening to Fall over the past 2-3 decades is now spilling into winter. Is this the new normal or just another weird La Nina year? Warmer and more humid weather (with less rain on most days yet more floods) could be our future, especially if things go "AMOC." Paradise for wxman57...not for the rest of us. 8-) :shock:

If you want cold weather, head to Alaska!

There's a brief turnaround around the 11/12. Is a flip to -EPO possible in the last half of January? Stay tuned, but I'm not counting on it.

DoctorMu euro/ GFS also offer some needed relief around the 10-12th , over running cold rain run lol, but would still be a much preferred outcome over this disgusting warmth

86 outside, and I guess every company set the same reminder to mass mail out job rejections on Jan 1st. My email inbox was full of depression. I get to celebrate the new year by starting my job search over completely from scratch. Here's to at least 2 more months unemployed.

Our son just received his PhD and is in the same boat. He's scouring from Lawrence Livermore to Switzerland. Millenials at Home! Too bad we don't have a basement for a Command Center. lol
