Good evening, all. The pattern this week is pretty set in stone with a lot of ugly written all over it. But, what about next week? This is a period starting to pique my interest a little more.
The models have been hinting at a healthy cold shot diving in here early in the week. The Canadian Model has been all over this for several days now. Why am I giving the Canadian some love? Because it was the first model to sniff out today’s cold shot and was the one not blowtorching the region with heat this week.
Look at the temps from the Canadian by next Tuesday…
I take the actual numbers with a grain of salt, but I do like looking at the placement of the cold and the trends. The European Model is trending in that direction, though not as cold…
Both models do try to develop a winter system during this same time…
That could get even more interesting if we can get the energy from the south to phase with the energy diving in from the north.
By the way… If it doesn’t turn really mild over the next 2 weeks… mother nature is missing a great opportunity to do so. Probably her best chance of the winter. 😉
I leave you again with the tracking tools on tonight’s taste of winter weather…
Current temperatures
Take care.
You the man Bailey!
It has certainly been a dreary day.Don’t think there was a peek of sunshine all day.Had grocery shopping to do early and it was probably in the low 50s at the time.By noon temps were already dropping and a foggy mist on this hill.Porch thermometer now has 38 on it.
This was the only site saying it was going to be this cool.All others had us in the 50s or high 40s even for tonight”s low.Still light rain and feels much colder than the actual temp.Thanks for all the most accurate updates to be found Chris.
Chris is nailing the shots of cold air, others should take notice that Chris owns Winter weather forecasting 🙂
Also welcome to Meterological winter, excuse my typos!
I’m curious…Chris always seems to nail it when it comes to “winter” whereas all the other Mets in my “hood (“Ville/NC KY) seem to be so far “out there”(i.e.: saying no winter wx. or temps within the next 2 wks..??) – going w/ 50’s/shots at rain- or so til Christmas….hmmmm..??!! 😉
I know what you mean, I live near Huntington WV. I like how he breaks it down and gives his personal thoughts rather than just reading what the NWS sends out. I could watch every local channel in my area and hear the exact same thing almost word for word. By the way all of them hear have us in the 50’s with on and off rain for as far down the road as they can forecast.
Has there been a “Winter Thoughts” post yet of Chris’s future cast? I love when he gives us his winter prediction and I haven’t seen it yet this year….have I missed it? Are we skipping it this year? Thought it usually came out around Thanksgiving….
