But first a few pictures. No matter the circumstance, keep reading to discover a few easy solutions for how to make big shoes fit smaller! According to prophecies, before the advent of the second-coming of Christ, the Anti-Christ would first make his appearance. For the first time in more than 30 years, the United States secretly expelled two Chinese embassy officials after they drove on to a sensitive military base in Norfolk, Virginia, in September, The New York Times reports. 2 hurricane. The storm is moving a bit more slowly than was forecast yesterday, and remains south of Latitude 20N. The forecast from NHC this morning remains similar to that of yesterday. The forecast 9 am surface plot (below) shows the pronounced cold front moving eastward and about to exit Pima County – with the rain band located along and behind the front. As the sea surface temperatures suggest, we have seen the PDO as negative since July of this year.

New Year is the most important and a wonderful day of the year. The seventy-one year old Bugs Bunny will be committed to the Wild Hare sanitarium after beheading Elmer Fudd. When winter is in full bloom, the hare changes fur again and becomes all white. So we should just stop here and say this winter will look more or less like a ‘typical’ La Nina winter, we should just stop the article here, right? Not so fast. If you think this looks like the negative phase of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO), you’d be right. It’s also entirely possible this actually promotes colder weather for the East, by encouraging ridging that then pushes north into Greenland to promote the negative phase of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO). In terms of temperature, cooler than normal conditions are typically observed from the Pacific Northwest through the Upper Midwest, just barely through Maine to the Atlantic coast.

Some dry signals of a lighter magnitude are also evident in the Midwest, but these are opposed by a swath of wetter than normal conditions generally seen in La Nina years, in the Ohio Valley. This situation of low humidity is what also causes your skin and lips to dry out and even crack. This continues to be a situation where we will just have to watch how things progress. The Hurricane Miriam situation remains as the main focus for the rest of the week. The latest forecast has kept Hurricane Miriam on the same track, but slowed down her speed. The storm is forecast to reach central Baja over the weekend. While low-level moisture will increase over southern Arizona, the precise impacts on our weather remain somewhat uncertain. So, it appears that a damp and chilly weather event is on tap for Valentine’s Day. Never a boring day but I had an experience that I will never forget.

So, the dangers inherent in 5 day or longer forecasting are well illustrated here. It’s important to analyze how some teams play if missing vital players as this may well indicate how a game will end up. Greenland, not well to the south and west, like by Nova Scotia. Consequentially, I’m seeing the possibility for ridging becoming a rather common feature along the East Coast into eastern Canada, due to that swath of warmer than normal waters near Nova Scotia. There’s a swath of much warmer than normal SST anomalies centered just south of Nova Scotia, and this has the potential to become an issue for those in the East hoping for a cooler than normal winter. In a La Nina regime, above-normal precipitation is generally seen in the Pacific Northwest, with drier than normal weather observed from southern California through the southern Plains, Gulf Coast and up into the Mid-Atlantic.

In past La Nina winters, the mid-level flow has shaped up with a strong negative anomaly in western Canada, in what appears to be a core of cold and snowy weather. There continues to be a very large spread in the global model forecasts, meaning that there is a considerable range of weather possibilities for southern Arizona (and California) as the storm moves northward. Current Atmo early WRF-GFS forecast brings higher PW northward but keeps it along the Borderlands and into southwest Arizona. Yesterday afternoon there were isolated, very light showers around southeastern Arizona, much as forecast by the models. 3 intensity yesterday and is currently (see IR image above from 1130 UTC this morning) a Cat. The storm was briefly at Cat. This storm lasted for three days and came with powerful winds of over 130 miles per hour. The storm has weakened and moved west of earlier track forecasts. Short-term forecasts are really important; they help us decide whether to take that bike ride, mow the lawn, take a run, and innumerable other tasks. If the Saints’ linebackers are not up to the task, you can bet Kyle Shanahan will find a way to take advantage of it.
