good winter coming folks

wet fall, dropping -QBO

it's coming, be patient

Being patient is a prerequisite for being a MA snow weenie. So is being dissappointed 9 times out of 10.

GFS is hell bent on bringing a nice cool shot next weekend. -NAO too. Widespread highs in the 40's and lows in the 30's. Maybe 1st frost? I guessed 10/24 for BWI and IAD in the contest.

I also was at 10/24 for BWI for that date in the contest, Bob. Maybe we have that close to right.

Go ahead and check out 384 hour fantasy land 2m temps........brrrr......

I doubt the first shot will give us the first frost next weekend. Surface temps are almost always too cold in the long range. However, the GFS is holding stready on keeping us below to much below for a week starting next thurs. If it does verify, I would think that first freeze before 10/31 is pretty much a lock except for maybe DCA.

FYI:

BWI's average first fall freeze - 10/29 (from 1947-2007)

Dulles - 10/15 (1962-2008)

Regan - 11/18 (194-2008)

the cells to the sw look moderately decent so far

There was a decent amount of sun down there earlier and it has partly cleared here also. Maybe they can hang together long enough, but we'll be running out of day heating juice soon. Need one to pop a little closer.

Squishy out

about 1.21 for the event so far

Just finished a round of golf at Lansdowne which is just to the east of leesburg. Basically non-stop drizzle all morning and early afternoon with the course being so wet. It seems like since the Saturday of Labor Day weekend that every round other then last Thursday and Sunday has been very wet.

None of these are supercells, no hail cores etc. All of this is with dynamics. I'm seeing some mid level meso's but nothing that would indicate it could make it to the ground (albit there are some really low LCL's) It would sure be nice to have dual-pol so I could see some Correlation Coefficient with these.

I think they're mini sups. The one northwest especially.
