Tuesday Long Range Update: Cold Stays West

Good morning. It has been a busy few weeks for me, hence the limited posting. In any event, fall is now underway! 

Today I wanted to discuss the weather pattern over the next two weeks...

Overall a warmer than normal pattern should be taking hold for October as a ridge of high pressure (quite impressive in nature) develops over the east, with a deep trough over the west...

This translates to warmer than normal temperatures over at last the next 10 days overall. For this time of year that means 70's for the most part. The sun is weaker now and it is much harder to see anything that resembles the summer heat we became accustomed to. Still, there will be some noticeably warm days. 

Do not be fooled however, there is alot of cold air in Canada building right now...

This dips into the western US causing snowfall over the next week in the Rockies along with northern plains...

The seasons are changing! 

As we enter the 2nd half of October, there is evidence some of this cold air can start to push east into our region. I still think any sustainable cold is at least a month away but eventually the "dam" will break over the east.



Thats all for now. Stay tuned for the WINTER OUTLOOK ON OCT 15TH!
