Winter Weather Outlook for VA

Thu, 15 Oct 2009 19:48:00 GMT

It has been rainy for the past 2 days, and forgive me if I've been out awhile, I've been very busy. But I'll try to blog more often. Anyway, now that winter is making an early return to the rockies, sierras, N Plains, N Midwest, great lakes, and the northeast, it's time that we talk about our winter weather outlook. NWS is forecasting a moderate to strong el nino, which is great if you're a snow lover. The jet stream dips way south into FL and brings a cooler than n...

Before we get to the tropics. Nascar is in town at Richmond International Raceway and unlike last year with Hanna, it will run as scheduled.

I hope you guys have had a great summer.

Tonight will be rather cool an...

Sat, 25 Jul 2009 17:50:00 GMT

There is some shower activity in the Bahamas and South Florida, but it is very disorganized and development is unlikely but we'll see what happens in the next few days. Cape Verde activity is quiet but there is an endless line of disorganized showers and T'storms that is not expected to develop. There is a wave a few hundred miles east of the Lessler Antillies. It does look somewhat more organized than the ot...

97L, Bahamas Disturbance Worth Watching

Tue, 21 Jul 2009 15:17:00 GMT

TropicsWe have 2 areas of concern that are worth watching. 97L which is west of the Lessler Antillies and just south of Hati and the Dominican Republic. Shear is high in that area however, it has held together in the past couple of days in that high of shear (20-30 kts) so if it continues to hold together like it has been then I think it has a shot for development. The next area that needs to be watched closely is the Bahamas wave. The NHC will probably tag it as in...
