Quick Update (Wednesday AM)

41 Comments

7:34AM

No big changes this update. Cold front swings through today with lots of clouds but no rain. Front comes to a halt just to the southeast then comes back as low pressure moves along it Thursday through early Friday. This low should pass over or just west of southeastern New England by first thing Friday. A rain event results, and some heavy rain may fall Thursday evening. By late Friday, drying, windy, cooler weather is coming back and will lead to a nice Saturday as high pressure dominates. But things are moving right along and the next system brings a rain showers threat later Sunday (still some uncertainty on the overall impact of this system). This should be out of here by early next week with fair and seasonable weather at that time.

SOUTHEASTERN NEW ENGLAND FORECAST…
TODAY: Mostly cloudy. Highs in the 60s. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Lows around 50. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY: Cloudy. Rain developing midday and afternoon. Highs around 60. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.
FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy with rain showers AM. Partly sunny PM. Low 48. High 56.
SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Low 38. High 48.
SUNDAY: Increasing clouds. PM rain showers. Low 37. High 53.
MONDAY: Partly sunny. Low 38. High 49.
TUESDAY: Partly sunny. Low 36. High 53.

    1. In the 20-25 day chart, NOTICE the HUGE area
      in Canada with 4-6 C temperature anomoly?

      That’s about 7-10 Degrees F.

      That does NOT bode well for the start of December if you like cold and snow.

          2. It is a concern though, especially if it stays so warm in that area preventing any kind of substantial snowpack to develop

            1. Yup, it is a concern. Of course the long range forecast here “could” be wrong.
              I doubt it though.

              This must be what TK was alluding to regarding warm up long range and a delay of real Winter weather.

      1. It seemed to be real but I never know. It is very cool. I would LOVE to actually witness something like that. Thanks for the link. Off to look at it

    2. Real. It’s a fall streak hole. Not all that uncommon but this is quite a pronounced example of one.

    EPO (eastern pacific oscillation)

    The Eastern Pacific Oscillation (EPO) is the major steering component of the jet-stream (upper-air flow) over the eastern Pacific. When a High pressure anomaly center intensifies over the Gulf of Alaska, blocking the jet-stream flow over the eastern Pacific… the EPO is in a Negative Phase or North Centered.

    When a pronounced Pacific jet-stream drives the westerlies, associated with an intensifying High pressure anomaly center over the southeast Pacific… the
    EPO is in a Positive Phase or South Centered. The EPO significantly influences the 500-millibar Height Pattern over North America, and is also a major steering mechanism of the Pacific-North American (PNA) Pattern &
    Arctic Oscillation (AO).

    1. It does, doesn’t it.

      Kind of reminds me of that Winter that wasn’t in 2011-2012 where
      the COLD is coming, the COLD is coming, the COLD is coming
      AND it NEVER CAME!!!

      1. Still seeing tendencies on the medium range to try to retrograde the trough toward western or west central North America with time. In reality this will probably happen later than the models say (especially the GFS which tends to “rush things”).

        So far though I’m not seeing anything that resembles a long-lasting pattern that carries into Winter. Still watching…

  14. From NWS Taunton, a direct quote from their Saturday night through Sunday night forecast…

    “Mostly cloudy. A chance of. Lows in the mid 30s. Highs around 50.”

    I really wish they’d clue us in on what exactly there is a chance of. 😛
