At 9AM it was 75°F with an expected high of 88°F, more like 91°. Summer is finally here! Better yet, kids are in school so it's also a lot quieter.

Well, Point Barrow has a high of 31 deg F today and Whitehorse is 46 deg F. So Hopefully some of that cooler aire will work its way down, might create some rough weather in Southern Canada and down here in the United States.Quote:

We sure are, Kevin. Actually, the storms we had a couple of weeks ago were way worse. We were pretty well stuck from going out of the area for a half a day or so. We only got around 3 inches over last night and this morning. The one a couple of weeks ago we got that much in just over an hour and a half or so.Quote:

Tucson didn't get off easy, either. 2 fatalities due to cars being swept into washes. And then this....

Yes...a city bus driver driving into a flowing intersection...in full view of media cameras!!! You know that driver doesn't have a job (and HOPEFULLY has a revoked CDL) tonight. Fortunately, no one injured in that stunt.

What are do you live in, Kevin? Are you near any of the Wong farms?
Aridzona looks really swamped on the evening news.
Leaves are still falling here. Dunno, but that's usually the sign of a cold winter... Lows are in the low 50s, high today in the valley was 68.
EDIT:
From Hudson Valley Weather...Quote:
Alex and I spent a good bit of time putting out fires on Monday. A website called Empire News, that puts out satirical news stories, put out a winter outlook calling for 5 to 10 times as much snow as last year. Poughkeepsie had 59 inches of snow last winter… so based on the article, they were projecting somewhere between 300 and 600 inches of snow for the coming winter… which would mean that we’d need to track down Jake Gyllenhaal and Dennis Quaid…
The Day After Tomorrow
So we had a little fun with that… seeing how their winter forecast was effectively calling for the Hudson Valley to experience it’s next ice age. But we wanted to squash the rumors and fears quickly… because it was very easy to think it was a legitimate winter forecast. With social media being what it is… things get out of control in a hurry… and by mid day on Monday, many readers were sweating bullets.
If nothing else, this article made fans want the HVW winter forecast even more. Alex and I will be putting together the HVW winter outlook as soon as we can. We had originally it targeted for late September / early October… but with numerous dramatic outlooks being put forward so early, by everyone from internet websites to The Farmer’s Almanac, we’re going to try and get it out sooner. We appreciate your patience… and while we don’t want to give much away… the terms “mild” and “warm” likely won’t be part of it.

97 at this moment in OK. Tomorrow supposed to be 100. Then tomorrow night, big cold front begins approaching the area with storms beginning around 11pm. Thursday supposed to be 80 for high and Friday only 68! 30 degree drop in 3 days! Hope it holds true! Don't know how much rain we'll get but any would be appreciated!
Was that a Hurricane that hit Aridzona and Nevada? The news is saying it was (LINK), but that would mean California, which is never supposed to get a Hurricane, got it too.Quote:

Aha! Makes sense. I think a few more decent sized storms and Calif might have what it needs for the next (winter?) growing season in the Valley.Quote:

Snow? WTF is that? It was 110 here today, down to high to mid 80s at night.
Only 90°F here but it's supposed to hit 100° by Monday.Quote:

We're catching up to you. It was in the mid to upper 40s here last night. Another 15 degrees and we would've had a hard frost. Leaves are now falling all over the area. No red or orange, just turning brown and hitting the ground. C'mon El Niño.Quote:

Well, Tommy the Yo Yo Man doesn't rhyme and Smothers Brothers branded yo-yos by companies such as Hummingbird, Playmaxx and Tom Kuhn really louses it up.
Hey, what's with the board making the image so small you can't read the balloons?
Actually the el nino doesn't guarantee you a mild spring-like winter in the northeast. There are a lot of other factors involved such as the NAO. I remember several winters we've had in the past where there was no el nino and it was very mild and a few where we had an el nino and it was very cold. One thing the el nino does tend to do is pump up more moisture. So of we end up getting a cold winter it is possible we might see even higher snow amounts and more major snowstorms than last year. If the winter tends to the milder side we may see a lot more rain, sleet, wet snow, frozen slush and ice. By sometime in late February or March 2015 we'll know for sure how it turned out. The primary area that is most affected by a strong el nino is on the West Coast as it tends to bring in more moisture which eventually falls as rain. Right now they need it to mitigate drought conditions. Unfortunately for the folks out west that need the rain it seems less probable that there will be a strong el-nino, or perhaps any el-nino this fall/winter than it did earlier in the season.Quote:
