I5 has lots of reader boards that could warn drivers to slow down– in fact, they can even change the speed limit in real time. Drivers here are used to rain, so they keep their speed up (probably too fast). One thing that you don’t need to go wrong during the winter months is your roof, the one thing that can protect you from any rain, and cold. The past cold season, I based the majority of my long range posts off of storms I was seeing hit Japan, based on the Typhoon Rule popularized by Joe Renken. La Nina is expected to persist throughout this tornado season, and that will play quite a factor throughout the summer and spring. For the longer term, it is useful to look at the El Nino/La Nina situation. Te El Nino/La Nina connection with our weather can explain perhaps about a third of the year to year variability of our weather.

When this happens, people often take to the outdoors and are often further away from home and shelter than they’d like to be when the weather turns against them. A place to cook and dine is key to making your backyard cozier and a place that you and other people will want to be. This factor doesn’t constitute an oscillation or index, per se, but will likely play into what we see happen this winter. The presence of below normal water temperatures extending eastward from Japan could very well mean that we see a stormy pattern over Japan this winter. There is a very nice set up of a very dry air mass over the West US. There will be a devastating earthquake in Nepal. It appears that the storm track will be displaced slightly more north, leading to above normal precipitation in the far northern reaches of the country. Everything matters: water temperature, clouds, mountains, swamps, waves, wind and so much more. The question you should also be asking: do such forecasts have much skill?

Not as much as we would like, but still useful. Slightly warmer than normal offshore, which makes sense with the BLOB still there..and warmer along the coast. The Climate Prediction Center is forecasting a high probability- possibly the highest confidence we have seen in the 6-10 day temperature outlooks- of above normal temperatures for the very heavy majority of the country. Satellite and other improved equipments are now providing us the improved information and signals, with the calculation of which we are getting the seamless service from the weather forecasting centers of any country. This is simply a weather pattern gone bad. And no, this bad pattern is not due to global warming. The same bad weather pattern has delayed winter. Below is The Weather Centre’s overall outlook for this tornado forecast. These two factors alone are more than sufficient for tornado and severe thunderstorm formation. This is the revised 2011 Spring-Summer Tornado Forecast.

Does such a forecast have a lot of skill? Since composite materials are rust-free, governments don’t have to spend a lot of money to maintain bridges. You can see we have gone from an El Nino period to a neutral period—with the sea surface temperatures cooling off a lot over the summer. The daily snow cover data from RCUL shows that the snow cover over China increases significantly starting on 12 January, and eventually covered most of the country (including our investigated area) by the end of January (cf. Data from Aqua-based instruments, including AIRS, will aid in weather forecasting, climate modeling, and greenhouse gas studies. The only setback for the train travelers is the unseasonable United Kingdom weather. Making the most of the surprise move, the cold, freezing weather and wearied U.S. When they call/chirp throughout the night it is a sign that a change of weather is on the way. On warm summer mornings in humid parts of the country, the grass is wet even when no rain has fallen the night before. Not clouds but lightning shall he see on the final night.
