lolz. Saw this on twitter as well. Probably clicked the wrong icon.

The software used to update the online 7 day got a complete overhaul this summer. It's been having a few glitches that they're still working to get sorted out. The computer likes to mysteriously change graphics/temperatures. :thumbsdown:

Would be nice though. Didn't we see a little taste of snow a few years back in October?

Forbes just upped the TorCon for SEVA to a 40% chance of tornado within 50 miles. Billabong any thoughts?

I probably wouldn't go so high. The main threat will not arrive until after 8pm, which by then were losing daytime heating and instability becomes a big limiting factor. We've see this many times before and we end up getting only a few gusty thundershowers. Despite this, we are fairly warm out there nearing the 80 degree mark making temperatures close to 20 degrees above normal. Moisture is decent as well with dew points in the mid 60s and precipitable water of 1.6, which I believe is in the 90th percentile for this time of year. This combined with great shear (0-6km shear >60kts and helicity of 300m2/s2) still should pose a threat for a few severe storms and possibly an isolated tornado.

We'll see if we can hold on to enough instability after sunset.

This winter is indeed starting out slow but we have had no borrowed days . This pattern will reverse and go the other way eventully. It will be at the peak of winter in January and February which would mean extremes in cold temps. Most weather patterns go 6 to 8 weeks before changing. Watch as this will likely happen in about 2 to 3 more weeks. The old almanac always said that ice in November means mud in December and there after. Another way it was said was "Ice in November that will bear a duck , nothing there after but sludge and muck ". Don't cancel winter yet baby ! The plumber that works outside everyday for 40 years has seen this winter before. trust me

I'm in no way canceling winter, it just looks mild with a few shots at snow.

To each his own. I hate being cold, and don't mind a little (or a lot of) sweat.

Cold is just...cold!

If it's cold, you put more clothes on or snuggle up by a fire. I don't mind a little sweat, I don't even mind a fair amount of it in July and August. But, come winter, it should be cold.

If you want to sweat year-round, might I suggest hopping in your car and heading south down I-95. When it ends, start looking for a housesizzle.gif

Don't worry...the Lowcountry of SC is in my crosshairs. Long-term crosshairs, but crosshairs nonetheless!
