Quieting Down...
A murky start turned into a gem of an afternoon...balmy and breezy too! That busy SW wind is continuously bringing in cooler air so the chill down has begun. Highs over the next few days will be closer to 60 and not the 70 we saw today. We will also see an extended dry stretch with just some passing clouds from time to time through the upcoming weekend. No extremes for several days (precip or temp)! Enjoy and have a nice night.
NOAA released their Winter Outlook today and they say that this upcoming Winter will be heavily driven by La Nina. Typically this means extreme cold for the Great Lakes and extreme warmth for Texas with above normal precip for the Pacific NW and into the Ohio valley. They give us equal chances for just about everything...very inconclusive for us. However, we know from last Winter that if La Nina is very strong and we get downstream blocking then look out...those extremes will shift to the Northeast! The WInter is still a long way off and there is still a lot of analysis to do but I'd be surprised if we don't see at least some blocking this Winter...much more on this topic over the coming month.
