Good Tuesday, my fellow weather lovers. We’ve made it past the Labor Day weekend this is traditionally when many folks shift into fall mode. Around here… that also means when many of you start to talk about the upcoming winter and what it may bring. I thought it would be cool to have a little fun with the CFS Model. 🙂

Before we get to that… let’s talk about the weather of the week we’re in.

Today features some awesome stuff with highs in the 70s with low humidity and partly sunny skies. Temps tomorrow morning will be in the cool low 50s before warming toward 80 for the afternoon. The end of the week will see another cold front approaching from the north, with several other things on the map…

NAM 2

From snow in Canada to possible tropical development… fun times.

Speaking of snow… let’s have a little fun at the expense of the daily CFS model. While there are many signs for winter to get off and running earlier than normal… the CFS is going to the extreme. Check out what it shows for the first week of October…

CFS 1

Ummm.. yeaahhh. It doesn’t stop there. The first week of November…

CFS 2

The day before Thanksgiving…

CFS 3

The first week of December…

CFS 4The model has so many storm systems through the winter that It would be impossible to show them all on here. Let me put out the typical disclaimer: these are to look at for fun and you can’t take them literally. That said, it’s clear what the model is suggesting… this winter may be super interesting.

Did you know the Atlantic has yet to produce a hurricane this year? Tomorrow, I will show you the last 2 years that went this late before producing the first hurricane and how those following winters turned out. Here’s a hint… look at the above maps. 😉

Have a great day and take care.
