November Obs & Discussions

67 * very humid muggy out I look forward for the cooler weather.Tom another day of cleaning up leaves I just did yesterday

Could be some rough stuff still incoming tonight.



There is definitely some rough stuff happening to my east tonight in beautiful downtown central Virginia


And it almost took a bite out of me. Near miss to the north…but a direct hit for Richmond.

68°F here at 6 am and still raining.  The rain woke me at 4 am.  It lightened up for a while, but there is a torrential downpour happening right now.

Yesterday late afternoon (4-6 pm) seemed to be the worst of the sustained rain.

The rain fell apart last night. Just .25 more for 1.5 inches. I saw it in the radar but poof!  62 at home; 68 in the Bronx where I am

60 degrees, partly cloudy and breezy.Looks like 20's-40's next week with a chance of seeing some flakes Tuesday night.

Oy vey but what a flip i fthis happens indeed inside 180 so LOL!!
Anyway we have ana ctive STJ = Southern Jet Stream that will send impulses of Low Pressure Systems up along tehbpuondary front, ones ets up to our west Tuesday into Wed and soem nback end snows in dem hills, wet flakes to teh coast is possible.
Then again Friday and the Sunday into Monday possibly could be wouldnt surprise me:


and tihs

GFS & Euro both honing in on a PV stretch 5-8 days out that is directly connected to the snow shown on the 12Z Euro today. The timing and placement of this stretch is key. This is the kind of event capable of producing a big time early season snow storm and will be something… pic.twitter.com/7oG1gcbLIw

Holy MOTHER OF Negative EPO's 13 -14 n 14-15 shades!!

The warm up is going to be muted or negated when you have an elongation of the PV.

After a mild last few days we're looking at a pretty significant drop in temperatures. The cold weather will last up to Thanksgiving. Looks like it turns mild again for the holiday.

The NAM shows a burst of snow working its way into NW NJ and SNY late Tuesday before it changes over to rain.



Pretty soggy Wednesday with about 1 inch or less of rain expected. However, would not be surprised areas N&W of NYC, especially toward Albany, to see their first accumulations of the season. Maybe a few inches!!

BOOOYAHHH!

Looks like this Wednesday's system is setting up to be our first Miller B type set up of the season. As has been stated there is energy that is trying to cut to the west but gets booted to the coast because it runs into some confluence to the NE and a 1030 +/- HP to the North. The positioning of the HP is a tad too far N IMO to have major impacts for our area for for sure our NW folks could see some accumulation. Id say for now best guess without a ton of detailed analysis brings the initial front end R/S line perhaps as far south as the LHV. Maybe brief flakes as far south as the I-95. Yes I said it.

That said its very early in the season so the waters off the coast are still very warm relatively speaking. So ANY winds coming off the water will quickly warm the mid layers. Also the flow out in the North Atlantic is progressive so there isn't a whole lot preventing the HP from getting booted and the initial LP cuts to the west. Eventually the energy phases and gets transferred off the coast and gives N NE a decent snow event, but this one will happen too late for anything sign around these parts...at least IMO and at least as is currently modeled.

Cold air damning is a real thing and can lead to surprise accumulation, but temper expectations, even if you are N&W. I brief period of sleet or even ZR is possible in some areas N&W.

Something to track!

I dare to say the north Shore of LI is still in play for a few wet flakes too.

“Baby needs a new pair of shoes”

The coldish mo renormal temps looks to stick around Turkey day and weekend from the looks of this map and teleconnections of the AO and NAO.

GEFS
Trough over the EC Black Friday


Sunday Travel Day Trough still there - potential coastal storm


NAO

The surface temperatures are really cold during the initial stages of this storm Tuesday night, but the 850s get above freezing pretty quick. The NAM does show the potential for some freezing rain across a good chunk of Northwest NJ, far North Jersey, and the Hudson Valley while the GFS and the Euro have slightly higher surface temps at that time.
I think if you are north of I-80 there is a good chance you see some snowflakes at the start of this (not a lock, just a decent chance). As for the ice threat, that is usually overdone, but the surface temps do make me wonder if some areas may be susceptible to icing.

LOL, "roll dem bones" Doc

42, partly sunny, breezy.Nice Fall day, trees bare and a hint of some snow tuesday night!

Hoping those to the N/W see their first accumulation, asking for snow down to the coast is asking too much but I will be happy to even see some flakes. Looks like theres a big storm potential around thanksgiving, looks like mostly rain but far north gets snow in ft!

WWA up for my area 2 inches possible.Think Damian will see that maybe an inch in my area of the LHV.

This is a perfectly fine map for mid November . We have an anomalous warm ocean that will keep temps above freezing. We need an anomalous cold air mass to overcome this in Nov.

Ahh. Good luck Doc. May it snow early. And often (for all of us).
