Congratulations Chris!
SPC moved the slight risk off to the north and east of the immediate metro area for Tuesday. Will be interesting to see how progressive the next system is. Happy Monday!

He was referencing the 46-day-out 2nd snow forecast map, not saying that the current cover is 45 days early, just as a clarification (though it may be about that early, I have no idea) |

Hey gang.. First...thank you!
Second...I'm not too jazzed at the moment for tomorrow. I think we may get a couple of skinny lines of storms...one developing to our east near the Ohio River...and one developing almost right over metro STL and along I-44/I-55...by late tomorrow afternoon or evening...with a primary threat of some very marginal wind. Mid-level winds and shear are not stellar. The core of strongest 850 mm winds is well east of STL into the ohio valley...with a second branch of slightly elevated 850mb winds closer in proximity to the shortwave...but removed well to our north. I'd say somewhere in eastern Illinois into Indiana and Ohio is a better bet.

I should clarify...the mid-level flow of 40kts to almost 50 kts from MO into IA in our region is enough to support some strong to severe wind gusts...especially with some DCAPEs in advance of the front of updwards of 1400 j/kg...on point soundings near STL. My lack of excitement is with the tornado potential. With a nearly unidirectional flow from the southwest... the main concern will be bowing line segments and associated strong wind gust potential.

Pacific is taking on a very 'Nina' like appearance as SST are currently below normal over the Nino regions and declining over the past week. Probably just a temporary blip but this will likely weaken the chances for anything other then a weak Nino come Winter into early Spring with anything moderate holding off until mid to late Spring. Also seems like the idea of a Modoki El Nino is evaporating as well with a more traditional weak Nino seemingly more likely now. A bit early but given the current pattern over the lower 48 and the above normal Sea Surface Temps around the southeast into the Bahamas that a moderate to strong southeast ridge is going to be a fairly big player along with troughing favored for the Rockies and West Coast with St. Louis in between the two. seems like we'll be in the battle zone for a large portion of the Winter but likely favoring on the warmer side of things with more rain and mixing events then pure snow. Obviously things like NAO/AO/EPO will be big factors but are hard to pin point this far in advance.

WOW! The SPC moved the slight risk WAY UP NORTH! The alignment is now more West to East vice Southwest to Northeast.

Watching Trami closely. My son and I have been on this blog since '06 - he is now an Air Force Meteorologist stationed in Okinawa. It will be his first chance to forecast and experience a typhoon! I have always credited the Corner for nurturing his love of weather!

Where's that front? My outside a/c unit is humming but won't kick on. Anyone know their hvac? From what I've read maybe as simple as the capacitor.

I believe Glenn is on vacation all week, and apparently so are the Cardinals. |

A rumble of thunder, some mod-heavy rain, and a nice breeze out of the nw/n. Temps in the 50's. Feels awesome outside. Too bad it looks like the heat may make a comeback next week.

I noticed that last night's Euro run now shows Pacific tropical activity coming onshore in the southwest part of the CONUS. This has been a scenario the GFS and PGFS have been showing for days. So if that scenario does indeed pan out then great job by the GFS on sniffing that out.
