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.  

Looks like that energy running the boundary will be happening, causing Election day to be wet. Get out and vote if you haven't already.

Veteran's Day forecast looks pretty mellow with HP over the sub. Chilly, but nice. Possibly some wet wx along the S areas if it's not further S. And can't forget the possibility of LER/S for some. 

A decent call here except my timing was a little quick. Nothing in the S areas except the boundary, which is dry. And there will be some LER/S across the Lakes during the day into the overnight as HP is moving into region on a N to NW flow.

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. 

Good forecast for Thanksgiving. Evolution was a little different than anticipated. We have a trough swinging in from the N, and a system in the S areas moving through Wed into early Thurs am. But a blustery, cold Thanksgiving was what I saw as the end result with plenty of LES. Weekend call not good, as LP gets squelched by another area of HP as it moves out of the W into KS over the weekend. HP quicker than I thought. 

Mid month stm brought good rains, and my call for a cooler Nov busted horribly. Thought early Nov would be more seasonable to cooler with mid month much milder, and a colder end. 2 of 3 isn't bad, but early Nov threw the final call way off. That's OK, as it was nice to have extended mild wx. Probably going to pay for it tho.

Worked up the last forecasts for the year. On Pearl Harbor Day Dec 7 it looks like fair wx under HP with a system moving in from the W bringing in milder temps, and a threat of rn/sn. 

Sorry for the delay, computer went down last week. 

Decent call here. Milder temps with some mixed precip.
