Pattern change incoming!!

With meteorological winter on the horizon we are beginning to get into cooler times and this outlook is starkly different from September and October. Because of recurving Typhoon Lan in the West pacific our pattern will be drastically changed. A strong storm is currently moving across the united states and will bring some very beneficial rains to New England and the Mid-Atlantic over the coming days. ECMWF rain total map below.

Okay, now back to long rage outlook. The long advertised cold shot is coming in this week after the cold front which dramatically changes the pattern. We will likely end October and start November with below average temps and the possibility of first flakes in some parts of New England. For now, let's enjoy the last few days of warmth for quite a while! -

Owen, USWC co-owner. Let's talk models for this upcoming pattern change.

Above is the GFS model for Saturday. A potent trough may be entering from remnants of Lan, other models such as the ECMWF is not excited about a potent trough.

Euro "Splits" the trough in to two pieces and misses the east coast. Also got to watch the Western Caribbean for the potential of tropical development. Will have more on that later
