Kmlwx Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Big upper low swirling to our west, warm humid southerly flow, modest instability, sunshine available to destabilize, and there just about nothing going on?

MN Transplant Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 "DC welcomes you - the home of weather fail" I don't know, my yard is still getting over that 10" of fail about three weeks ago.

Bob Chill Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 "DC welcomes you - the home of weather fail" lol- It depends on how you look at it I guess. I don't want a drop of rain really but thunderstorms are always fun. I'm looking more forward to the little ice age coming up this weekend. Love that crisp fall air. The smell of the air always reminds me that winter is around the corner........of course winter around here = "DC welcomes you - the home of weather fail" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jebman Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 If this Midwestern cutoff low pattern is indicative of the coming low sun season - Midwest will get record 500 year snows. DCA will have a much above normal temperature winter with a tremendous amount of rain, with potential severe outbreaks in January and February lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
