Light rain 54
At least we're not having a cold November.Looking somewhat likely (not a lock) that the +SCAND along with weakening MJO pulse should favor a slow but eventual process of a -NAO later in the month, next 3 weeks look dominated by a -PNA/strong southeast ridge, but there are hints that we’re gonna eventually try to get blocking going later in the month, note the Scandinavian ridge, typically -NAO follow a couple weeks after. As for the pacific side of things, the effect off +AAM typically is seen weeks to a month later, watch for some sort of jet extension around the end of the month. Twitter peeps have noted this, but it’s almost of if we’re watching last year all over again evolve, but a month earlier. Just remember, that things can go wrong and have before. But still, over the next few weeks we’re gonna see a significantly strong -PNA (some models throw a TPV near Seattle (same ish happened last year as well).View attachment 123308View attachment 123313
Who knows. Just another four weeks and we can start looking at the models to hope for a winter storm. That would also align with when Webber is talking about favorable blocking setting up.Good evening. I'm reporting 59 and overcast in N Raleigh.
Long time no see gents! Looking forward to another disappointing winter outside the mountains. ??️
You guys do know I am kidding, I hope???Wow, what an amazing rain event for Atlanta this morning...
Took a trip over to Ellijay and back over Fort Mtn. The wind has blown half our leaves off at the house but the sheltered side of the mountain was stunning.
@J.C. Since you’re a fellow tree nerd, I just found this big Sugar Maple on an island in our big creek. I’ve now found 4 species that we sit on the fringe of. Sugar maple, pin oak, Osage orange, and honey locust.
The creek is too deep for me to get to it but the leaves are pretty large so I think it is a northern. We had some Southern’s where I grew up in Cherokee county and the leaves are a lot smaller than these. Might need to tap it if I can figure out how to bridge the creek well enough for the floods.I would almost say that is a Southern Sugar, but it looks to be to big to even make that assumption. They look almost identical except the southern has slightly smaller leaves, and is mostly understory. Looks like you may have found one of the ones that are in our area. They definitely reproduce here because there are several renegades around.
