This should at the very least break the extended dry spell and shut off the well above normal temps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After an initial few weeks of cold/rainy and maybe even snowy weather into late November, the typical rain to snow precip pattern will return by the second week in December with decent cold snaps and maybe even some polar air reaching us by Christmas. Then the flood gates will be opened for some major snow events the rest of the winter with constant refreshed clippers - similar to the winter of 2003 after a blistering drought in 2002. Take away for the next few months- the La Nina will slowly die off and we will have a ENSO neutral winter in full effect by early January. This typical weather pattern brings real nice cold snaps, days of snow covered ground and a good chance of frequent arctic clipper MIller B snow events usually starting in the first to second week of December and lasting till March. The usual January thaw maybe tempered this year folks in this pattern. Until then, I see absolutely no significant rain until around Halloween to Election Day time period. I would not be surprised to see election Day to be a washout as our first significant rain event OK I said this almost a month ago- lets see how I am doing? 1. First measurable rain event in the last two months for Sunday so close I said intially on Tuesday this will "try" to break the drought 2. More rain events on tap after Sunday for late next week - this will help end these dying cold front pattern that we have been experiencing. 3. Snow events are now showing up on the LR models for our area just before Thanksgiving. 4. A significant Blocking pattern is attempting to set up which will defintely throw some cold air our way is now showing up on the LR range models I am a firm believer of historical patterns for weather and just do not dwell on strictly on LR teleconnected modelogy like many younger people do. I grew up and forecasted in a period where computers were not the cure all for LR forecasting. They simply did not exist even for the pro's . This current drought pattern setup we are in is more extreme but it all boils down to the same- NE Blocking and more good snow events patterns are now setting up for late November into December better than we have seen in 20+ years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albedoman Posted Friday at 07:55 PM Share Posted Friday at 07:55 PM DRBC is holding a hearing to consider issuing a drought emergency. The last time this happened 2016-2017.

ChescoWx Posted Saturday at 02:41 PM Share Posted Saturday at 02:41 PM Seasonably chilly day today with highs just a couple degrees below normal levels. Sunny today and finally some much needed rain tomorrow evening into the Monday AM commute! We warm to above normal temperatures on Monday before we chill back to normal readings for the rest of the work week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just don't know yet though how much we actually get. I would say we get somewhere between 0.28-0.44" down here which would just about tie the amount the last time it rained here 0.38" on August 18th. We shall see how the precipitation distributes around the area, but it would not be surprising if we underperform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBasile Posted Sunday at 09:38 AM Share Posted Sunday at 09:38 AM Looking forward to the rain. Too many fires around here. The fire at the Glassboro Wildlife Management Area is just a couple miles from here. The wind is out of the south now and the smoke has engulfed my neighborhood. Here's a couple photos from over the last couple days. Evesham Twp fire. Glassboro Wildlife fire. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted Sunday at 03:07 PM Share Posted Sunday at 03:07 PM Most lower spots across the area were again well down into the 20's for overnight lows. Here in East Nantmeal we could go no lower than 36.6 degrees. We have yet to experience a freezing temperature here in EN....if we can make it through Wednesday this year would be the latest first freeze in the 21 years I have been at this location. Clouds are on the increase, and we will finally see our first widespread rain since September 29th across the area. The rain should start from west to east around the 7pm hour and be over before the Monday morning rush hour. Be careful if you are out driving this evening as rain will be falling on roads that have quite a bit of built-up oil and leaves. Tomorrow will be the warmest day of the week with highs back into the mid 60's but by Wednesday higher spots in the county will struggle to escape the 40's for high temperatures and we could see a pretty solid freeze by Wednesday AM.

Kevin Reilly Posted Sunday at 03:07 PM Share Posted Sunday at 03:07 PM Mostly Cloudy right now with an inversion layer temp is 51 degrees. The low last night was 34.

"Snow itself has fallen in about two-thirds of the winter seasons at least once, however, it usually melts as it falls. Measurable snow at the official climate station typically occurs once every four or five years, however, higher elevations on the valley's west side such as the Summerlin area see measurable snow about every three years or so."

Yeah something is amiss. Kinda assumed the article was focusing on the higher plateau of Las Vegas well northwest of the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
