Holiday Forecasts 2024

Friendship day in early Aug is looking rather warm with a threat of shwrs/stms.

(Note: I accidently labeled July 28 as Friendship day when it's actually Parent's day. Made the correction.)

Next up is Father's Day, and I'll also include Juneteenth, as it is only 3 days after.

Expecting a system moving through prior to Father's Day, with CA HP clearing things out briefly, before another system encroaches upon the sub. This will be affecting the sub around, and on Juneteenth. Mid June looks wet, and stormy as we approach the Summer Solstice.

Father's day cast is partly correct. Slow on bringing HP through as it will be leaving the sub starting today. But for the rest of it, pretty decent.

July 4th is on a Thursday this year. Looks pretty nice to me. Could get real warm in the W sub on the backside of HP moving through, ahead of next system lurking to the W.

That map is a.m. July 5. July 4 will have a ridge over most of the sub with shwrs/stms affecting areas of the W&S sub. So, at this point it will be close call. Wx moving in a little quicker than anticipated.

Weather Underground/TWC and GFS want the 4th of July to be a total washout. Either way, not going to be a good night for fireworks.gfs_mslp_pcpn_us_18.pnggfs_mslp_pcpn_us_19.png  gfs_mslp_pcpn_us_20.png

Most of the sub looks OK. Some may not have a "good day", and fireworks will be iffy for a few. Everyone else looking OK, at this juncture. Guess we shall see on that day what actually goes down. :)

July 4 looks pretty decent for most of the sub, except down nearer the OHRV area during the am hrs, where a more solid chance of rain exists. By fireworks time, tho, most of the W sub looking pretty iffy as shwrs/stms encroach upon that timeframe. Close call on this forecast.

Parent's Day looking pretty decent with most of the sub under the influence of HP. Looks like a boundary may affect the southern most part of the sub. W areas could get a little on the hot side with a boundary in the Plains.

Looks like a pretty good call here. Timing off a little, but a good forecast.

Finished up more forecasts for Sept-Oct.

Grandparents Day comes shortly after Labor Day each year, and this year it looks like some wet weather will be entering our sub after some nice days under HP (although radiational cooling could have us see some cool am temps).

Next is Constitution/Citizens Day. Looks like a cool, wet day with scattered showers in the N areas, and more organized weather in the S areas. Brisk weather moving in is what it looks like. On that note, Sept, in general has a much more Fallish feel this year than we have seen in recent years. 2020 was the last year we saw a cooler month that ended being near avg for the sub. Since 2015, Sept's have been rather warm.

On Columbus Day, I'm looking for a front moving through with possible energy from the W riding along it in the S areas. It looks like HP will stay a little N. Mid Oct may see a more W/E flow, keeping things a little milder, and wet.

Lastly, for Oct, is Halloween. Looks like a strong front/system moving through bringing brisk weather behind. N/W areas will probably have a chilly evening for trick-or-treaters with some wet weather possible in the S/E areas. Looks to be moving rather quickly. Oct will be a month of variable patterns, so it's hard to get a read on how warm or cool it will get. Going with a near to above avg end.

CA front moving through the N with shwrs/stms. LP that I have noted is running a bit more N than I thought along the boundary, and coming in the W sub on Monday. That will affect the southern half of the sub Mon-Tues. So I was too slow on the N part, and too quick on the S part.

Senior Citizens day looks interesting. Generally fair, pleasant wx. Could be a hint of Fall in the air for some, and possibly a tropical entity affecting the SE US.

Looks like a good call here. Nothing tropical in the SE tho. Wasn't sure about that anyway. Definitely an early Fall feel.

Thanksgiving is late this year, which is typical for a leap year. Looks like it'll be turning blustery, and cold as a boundary moves through starting on Wed. Expecting LES, and as HP moves through the sub, another system will start to affect the W sub during the weekend. Nov in general will tend to be a bit of a rollercoaster with cooler winning out I believe, except the mid part of the month has a rather warm, wet feel to it. Potential strong storms with GOM moisture available.

My timing is slow with frontal progressions, but the overall  pattern I saw is there. Looks like a pretty nice end to summer. :)

Pretty so-so cast for this day. No wet wx to speak of will enter the sub, but there will be LER for some. LP will hang back as CAN front moves in across the N areas.

Busted this cast. Pattern I was picking up on looks to be coming in to some degree later in the week.

As we enter Oct, we come to Child Health Day. Looks pretty nice under HP, with some cool am temps probable.

Pretty good call here with HP over the region, and cooler, but pleasant conditions.

An OK call for this day. LP scooting through the Lakes bringing wet wx with HP strengthening over MN. No energy riding the S areas, instead there will be weak trough, and LER across the Lakes. There is a chance for a mix of rain/snow across NE MN Monday am. We quickly warm back up as HP moves SE, and brings a return flow later in the week.

New Years holiday is looking chilly as HP moves in. Look for LES across the Lakes, along with an exiting front in the SE areas on the 31st. 

EDIT: Just a quick note, it looks like Dec will be quite variable. Looking at the month to end near avg, and quite possibly below. There's a decent chance that may be the case.

Thought I'd add Election Day into the mix this year. Looks like a front will be moving through, and possible energy with it. If that happens, a little wet wx on tap for some, but the front itself shouldn't be a big issue. Make sure to vote if you haven't already. :)

Decent call here. System quickly heading NE through the Lakes bringing much needed precip, and some snow IMBY.
