End of December Mild for Many... January Opens the Door to 2026 and Wintry Weather......Eventually...
There's a large system in the North Atlantic swirling about. It's influence is fairly huge and it conflicts at times with impulses riding up creating ripples of storms that may or may not bring winter weather depending how far North you are or are not. On the bottom left of this loop is another swirl, swirling about and adding moisture in some places and some places not. Towards the North there is a line of weather moving along near the US - Canadian Border from the West to the East. For now it's keeping Winter way up where many feel it belongs!! Colorado, Oklahoma and Texas are dealing with the heat; warmer than normal temperatures East of the Rocky Mountains people may need sunscreen. It won't last forever and looking back in late January you'll remember late December fondly. Enjoy this quiet mellow late December, as January will open the door to wild, wicked weather that is likely to dig deep into February.
It is what it is until it is not. That is my message for the day. As I said yesterday it's an up and down pattern and either you're cold or your hot. Plan your events accordingly.
Long range models and synoptic patterns say Winter is waiting in the wings. Generally my money is on CLIMO.
For anyone traveling to NYC for New Year's Eve it seems snow is a possibility to ring in the New Year.
More tomorrow........
Wishing you your favorite weather as long as it doesn't collide with my wishes :)
Polar Vortex Moving UP and down and UP and down. Cold, Warm, Cold, Warm... Winter 2026 Will Be Like a Carousel. Merry Go Round. Temps Dip Down, Then Up Then DOWN Again!
Note the tail of the fronts.
Or is it the tale of the fronts?
The graphic below offers a weather buffet.
Everyone wants a quick fix or a real answer regarding Winter 2025/2026 and the answer seriously is "maybe" as in.....in any given week you may get a Winter Storm. I could be wrong. Everything is in motion. You may get mild weather.
When the Polar Vortex is in play it means that it is literally moving around the Northern Hemisphere (in our case) going up and down like a carousel at a carnival. First it dips down, then it rises back up, then it dips down again and on and on it goes doing this up and down dance. When it is in the up position areas "way Up North" get snow and areas in the middle latitudes get milder, warmer weather and then when the dip comes around again everyone freaks because it was in the 60s and now it's dropping back into the 20s and 30s again. Your weather APP may show snow flakes, then no snowflakes then they are back again!
If you live in Wisconsin or Minnesota or Upstate NY in the Hudson Valley you can expect Winter to be firmly entrenched, delivering you winter weather frequently this winter. If you live in the in between areas such as Oklahoma and North Carolina you have to wait and see what evolves. When the Polar Vortex dips down will there be dry weather or wet weather and the possibility of snow and ice. If you live in the mountains of Colorado you will get snow. If you live in the suburbs around Denver it may be warm until it's cold again. If you live in South Florida it will be warm days and cooler nights. If you live in Jax or Tallahassee you may get very cold nights in the 20s and 30s this coming week with temps dipping into the 20s especially up near Quincy.
There are no big surprises here as much as the see saw motion of the weather patterns and that adds in to people getting sick as one day it's very cold and the next you can wear sandals and then a big damp system comes in with strong winds and you didn't pay attention and aren't dressed for the weather.
Pay attention. The cold is the real deal, the random warm days are an illusion and winter is not going into hiding this year it's just a bit moody and capricious. The little video below is a carousel with horses, but picture the polar vortex moving around the planet dipping down, moving back up and dipping down again!
Winter Storm Warning for Parts of the East Coast.... Warm Weather Everywhere Else. But That's Changing Soon. May Have Been a Warm Christmas BUT New Years Eve Will Be Cold in Some Places Even Florida! Death of a Giant... Neil Frank Dies at Age 94.
Bookend Winter Storms.
West Coast....
NYC Metro, NJ, NE
Upstate New York!
Everywhere in between....
...asking what happened to Winter?
Note it will return soon.
Warm Christmas.
Cold New Years Eve!
In my world 2026 brings back Winter.
60s are gone.
70s are gone!
Even in Florida!
As I said in the previous post Mother Nature is quite the Trickster this year with a roller coaster ride through Winter where you'll keep both your flip flops and your winter boots ready for whatever the forecast throws at you.
In Monsey NY my daughter is preparing for a Winter Storm that may or may not be blizzard like and may or may not dump tons of snow or miss them to the North or South. It's a difficult system to predict down to the detail but there are maps everywhere and arguments online as to whether it'll go wide right or wide left. To be fair it's a place where snow easily finds you. But fast moving systems such as this throw wrinkles into the forecast always!
So watch your local experts, best Weather Apps and if you are into TWC or Fox Weather or Weather Nation settle down with a cup of Hot Cocoa and enjoy the show. Here it's gray, cool and warm enough to have some windows open to air out the house yet cold enough to keep them barely open. I do so love fresh air!
In other weather news...... I've been way overdue to post this sad news. Dr. Neil Frank died at age 94!
Link to this image above below.
The man from Kansas.....
....became the Hurricane Expert.
Hurricane Preparation especially!!
I kind of put off talking on this as to be honest time flies and once upon the time he was a Director of the National Hurricane Center and though it was way back, there probably was not a more Iconic Director than Neil Frank. I had a best friend who moved to Miami from Upstate New York and she had the biggest crush on Neil Frank; more like King of the Weather people until he moved to Houston and she found Bryan Norcross. Neil Frank blew into Miami as if he was a real hurricane, a storm with a plan to make sure Floridians living within shouting distance of the beach were aware and prepared and knowledgeable about the dangers of Hurricanes. People were moving to Miami, buying waterfront property on cities newly built around layers of canals that all had "waterfront lots" on both sides of the coast and the agents that sold them the lots told them not to worry on Hurricanes. Something about the Coral Reef offshore protects us from hurricanes they were told. So in the off season he would often go to some of these waterfront paradises and pretend to be taking surveys and ask the owners if they knew how to prepare for a hurricane. They were sure they told him hurricanes would not be a problem. Truth is sometimes it takes a while to get hit by a Hurricane as Tampa, Miami and Marco Island know but when they do there's no turning back the clock to before the hurricane and everything is changed forever. The mere word "Cone" sets people off to Public in search of water, batteries and of course beer!
That's Marco Island under construction.
I do mean under construction literally.
It was built over wetlands .... swamp.
Close up
Everyone has water nearby :)
And lots of swamp land.
And the beautiful Gulf.
Very in Hurricane Country!
Neil Frank left the NHC for Houston in 1987
5 years later when Hurricane Andrew formed....
...his fans in Miami jumped into action!
They'd been taught the dangers!
Really few like him.
I'd add in Dr. William Gray from CSU!
For these giants in the Hurricane world it wasn't about politics or click bait or anything other than to educate about the public on the dangers of hurricanes and the science of hurricane forecasting. Both strong willed, both opinionated but both were all about weather. My brother actually was given some old Hurricane Tracking Charts from the NHC after meeting him while visiting the site. My brother and my friend Sharon could wax poetic on this giant of a man that was a legend in his time.
Neil Frank is synonymous with Hurricanes, now and forever!
So are we ready for 2026? Heard a rumor Senor El Nino is very ready....
Besos BobbiStorm
@bobbistorm on X Mostly weather on X, elsewhere whatever....
We may have missed Neil Frank in Miami, but he was all too ready to sing Hello Texas!
Warm Weather Today.... But Popsicle Toes for New Years Eve.... 2026 Welcomes Winter Back! Senor El Nino ... Ask California They Know.... EnJOY the Weather.... It Changes Fast!
So either you are happy or kvetching about the weather.
I'm into being "happy" and enJOYing the weather here.
In Raleigh..... on the warm side.
Tho not OMG Hot!
Thawing out from last week's cold temps.
I knew I was missing in action here doing things, didn't realize it had been so long since I blogged until I came on to blog this morning. A week without blogging, my gosh that's rare for me. Been busy. But, I am back now even though there's no real weather in my part of the world to talk on .....other than a pleasant warm up after last week's frigid Arctic Plunge. My toes were so frozen inside lined, normally warm, boots. Yes, I actually wore a coat and it was over the hoodie. So excuse me if I don't get on board the Pitty Party about the warmer temperatures in this part of the Carolinas. I spent most of my life in warm weather for "the holidays" it's not the end of the world. What is really, really annoying is having frigid temperatures and no snow. If it's gonna be that cold.... I want snow otherwise warmer weather is not so horrible. And, the warm up is not going to be as long as the hypesters online have been hyping. What goes up, comes down fast in Raleigh in the Winter.
In fact, it's been my experience in the Carolinas that when we zoom up to 70 degrees in late December within ten days or so it snows or delivers some sort of Wintry Punch and every weather person on air waxes poetic that "just the other day it was in the 70s and now............" it's either in the teens or snowing or sleeting or there's a possibility of ice. I may paint my toes some tropical color today and take out the sandals to walk about as if I am daring Mother Nature to hit me with her best shot of winter weather for my birthday next week!
Long range forecasts can and do change ...
It's good to learn how to roll with the punches...
...or in this case the temperature.
Live in the moment and enJOY!
On thing I love and enJOY about Reed ....
...he knows how to have fun.
He finds happiness.
He shares happiness.
He Never stops chasing!
My feeling on this roller coaster ride called "Winter Came Early" is that when Winter comes early, we usually have an early January Thaw in late December and everyone freaks out but it's really an early January Thaw! And, as I expected it's going to be very cold AFTER Christmas .... we are back on the down slope of the merry go round of the 2025-2026 Arctic Plunging Merry Go Round! Then the headlines rant on how we are going into 2026 with Freezing Temperatures!!
And Mike...he's so cute.
He doesn't focus on "OMG" it's hot in Tampa"
Gotta tell u it's often HOT in Tampa for the holidays.
That's what flip flops are for....
...but gonna need those socks again soon!
Then there's Mr Content Wx Guy
aka "Cranky"
This is a shout out to his awesome maps.
So gonna put Miami Nice Nail Polish on..
....Art Deco Pink.
Make some Iced Nespresso.
Listen to the music and enJOY!
JOY is the message.
Peace.........
Love!!!
Sending it all ....
May talk about El Nino Tomorrow.
Why the official agencies have to wait forever to announce something that is already here is beyond me. It's like Covid... remember when? Everyone had it, the world was shut down and people argued over whether to call it Corona or Covid yet the World Health Organization waited and waited to say there was actually an epidemic? Oh wow... "breaking news" (no not really) and as for Senor El Nino he is definitely here and not in hiding and if you have any questions check out the weather on the West Coast this year!
Sweet Whatever You Want from Santa Dreams!
As for me... I'll take a gift card to Amazon!
Tho Amazon ain't as fast as it used to be........
If you really want to see snow.... do what I used to do when I lived in Miami... I watched the Gaylord Cam! It's live! It changes. It's fun. EnJOY! You have to hit the link to the snow....
Hyped Up Discussion on a Warm Holiday Down the Road. Will See. Link to Video of iCyclone's "Hurricane Melissa at Ground Zero"
A masterpiece from Josh Morgerman....
...who rode out Melissa.
The red star marks his location!
While weather people online argue whether this will be a TORCHMAS Heat Wave or simply "warmer temperatures" I thought I'd post the link to the video put out by Josh Morgerman aka @iCyclone of his "encounter" with Melissa. Not sure what word to even use to describe his work as he is a master of words, images, videos and knowledge regarding the most dangerous hurricanes in modern times. This video has been much anticipated and I've waited patiently as I know everything he does is with the most precise attention to detail including picking out his location to ride out the hurricane, the structure he will ride it out in and the video he produces. The link is below in the blog.
As for current weather talk.... ....yeah I'll give my thoughts tomorrow.
I'm sure you've seen these posts online.
It's holiday time, we all want a picture perfect white winter wonderland no matter what holiday we are celebrating. Few pray for weather that allows us to wear flip flops and shorts unless we are hard core Floridians who freeze if the temperature gets below 50 degrees. As for me in North Carolina I like the cold weather that flows in normally this time of year. Though I will admit I was freezing beyond words Sunday evening when we had a large outdoor Chanukah celebration in the beautiful Lafayette Village near my home. There was a large menorah in the square and a huge Christmas Tree lot nearby and people enjoying hot coffee Starbucks Coffee that flowed at the event fast as it kept our hands warm! Actually the Rabbi gave our little "hand warmers" to anyone who wanted... almost everyone wanted! Seriously if you want a Norman Rockwell sort of place to live yet filled with diversity and everyone is friendly and people literally wave as they walk by even though they never met you...... Raleigh is that sort of town. A bit slow for people who have lived in NYC so beware and maybe rent before you buy ;) or move on down to Florida.
It Snowed Again! Love Clippers, They Bring Bands of Random Snowflakes!! NAM Delivers ...How Bout That!
Not very picturesque but if you want to see flurries..
...you have to look for something dark!
I read every forecast discussion with every possible scenario and model discussions that did not agree and I really did believe we'd get snow flakes this morning in Raleigh and we did. I decided to go to Whole Foods during the "window for flurries" and sit outside with a cup of coffee and wait until I saw them. And, "whoa" there they showed up; cute fine little flakes falling on the sleeve of my warm black hoodie real tangible proof I was not dreaming! This is awesome, daytime snowflakes falling randomly in fast moving bands of weather with the fast moving Clipper. Love them, we are more likely to be sure to get something with these set ups than the "turn over to snow after the rain" or "turn over to rain after the snow" set ups when we are forecast to get a large winter storm. As the local weather people say there were "no impacts" as we won't have accumulation and it's in the low 40s though it feels colder and we get snow because it's a Clipper. Winter Weather is fascinating!
1 model said mostly Virginia.
1 model said maybe NC
Most said the border area would get snow.
People hate to hear this but...
...sounds like the NAM won this one.
I've lived here a long time. I studied the Miller A, Miller B and even the Miller C Storms. I wanted to understand why it's so incredibly hard to predict what the Raleigh Durham area will get 24 hours out before we are expected to have Winter Weather and no one is sure but we prepare anyway. Compared to how we are expected to be sure where a tropical wave will make landfall in 10 days when it has not yet even become an Invest! Doesn't seem quite fair... People complain to me the NHC was "off with Hurricane Melissa" because it dawdled longer and went West a long time and apparently they were not really paying attention to models that did infer it most likely could do that and it made landfall where they said it would! We even said it would have Rapid Intensification and "where" it would do RI and still there are people insisting they were told it would only be a Cat 2. Oh..okay..... I learned in the 2020s not to argue with people. I even explained online and in the blog that it may become a Major Cane rivaling Hurricane Wilma! I even properly forecast that looking back we may say one day "like Hurricane Melissa" vs Hurricane Wilma as I am sure that will happen in the years to come.
And, I knew we'd get snow today of some sort from a random few flakes to off and on snow showers. And, I'm happy. If not this year when the cold is in place when? And, with the parade of "Clipper" systems it was a sure bet we'd get "something" and we did. The pattern in the Raleigh area is usually we get a chance but it's a miss and then we get a chance of snow flurries and we do or we don't though there's some nearby somewhere. Then we get some flurries again (usually in the dead of night) and then eventually we get real storms, with some accumulation of either sleet, snow and ice or all three often called a Lasagna Storm! You put your boot down into the snow, there's a "CRUNCH" sound and your boot then sinks into the bottom layer. If you know you know. And again many years recently we have been snow deprived with not even a random snow flurry shower :(
And it snowed again!
It's almost embarrassingly how child like I sound...
...when I see snow.
Lived here 16 years ....by the way.
Not a recent S FL transplant.
But it's always blows me away.
And went to school in NYC.....
...so have seen winter.
But it's so much prettier in Raleigh!
The cute part is I live not that close to an elementary school, but close enough that in the winter I can often hear the bell for recess. I can also hear the train whistle blow in the winter, but rarely in the summer and I do understand why .....so another reason I love Winter. I was standing out on the balcony watching the snow flakes falling and heard what sounded like pigs squealing for children at a Petting Zoo and then I giggled and realized it snowed while the kids were out at recess in the schoolyard and they were screaming with joy. Funny how snow brings out all the haters or the lovers. I'm a lover.
I love snow and winter weather the way some people love a person or a food or their favorite group in concert! I obviously love tropical weather like that too...... I'm a weather person.
I wanted snow this December. I wanted snow for the holidays and that's still a moving target far away with rumors of hot weather in late December, tho Chanukah has 8 days so all I need is one of those days to verify with snow and I get my wish. My birthday is at the end of December ....that would be a nice present and then there's New Year's Eve!
Lastly, a little less giddy but honestly want to explain the reason I follow Allan Huffman on Patreon is he is a good meteorologist, he especially knows the Raleigh area well and as I always say on the blog find a meteorologist who specializes in your local area. There are some good ones, but I followed him a while back during Hurricane Season and he's extremely accurate both with landfalls and with snowfalls! I follow very few people, currently he is the only one!
He posted 2 scenarios on X.
This was the one that eventually moved into NC.
I like how he explains.....
...he doesn't dumb it down.
He shows details.
Details matter.
I like Mets that don't dumb things down...
...yet explain in a way people understand!
I had never heard the phrase "snow grains"...
..yet have wondered what I was seeing.
Sometimes here you see "flurries"
but they look fall fast like sleet.
But they are not sleet.
So you live, you learn!
Learned something today!
And saw snow falling :)
Find a good local weather expert!
You'll never be sorry.
Sweet Snowy Dreams,
BobbiStorm
@bobbistorm on X
Ps Dabuh being very precocious today; too many ways to even try and explain ;) LOL
It SNOWED! Nice Dusting. Daytime Snow! Some Wintry Mix. Then Nighttime Snow. IYKYK I'm Happy!
I consider this a good start to a "real Winter" where we actually get significant cold air and winter weather on the menu! Took the time yesterday to enjoy it in real time. Curious on how long it would snow and if it would actually ever coat things at some point. Cars covered in Snow (and ice) this morning and the rooftops coated with snow. Holiday Cards sang to me, I use them to decorate. I decorated :)
I seriously love Winter!
We are in a set up with "Clippers" clipping through.
Each brings the chance of more snow.
As always time will tell!
The MIMIC says Winter!!
All the way down to Florida.
And you know what's cool? Check this image from Windy.com out!
Sunday Morning. Freezing Fog in NC. Fins Play Jets. Carolina Panthers on a BYE Week. Snow in the Forecast Maybe. Time Will Tell!!
Winter came early to Carolina.
NC acting like it's VA
But it's not.
Also not seeing FROZEN fog here....
....tho lots of fog.
It's cold, it's damp and I am not going out in search of evidence of freezing Fog! First time I ever heard that term was the year of the Polar Vortex we were driving from Raleigh to Brooklyn for some holiday event, maybe a parade was involved or dress up costumes I can't really remember except that Mother Nature threw everything at us including the WARNING FREEZING FOG signs on the highway. I turned to my husband who is from Upstate NY and asked "what's that" and said "I don't know" and I thought "oh" because the warnings flashing with it on the highway seemed very ominous. A cold, surreal winter wonderland feel in the air everywhere from the snow, ice and Freezing Fog in some areas.
2025 could set up to be one of those winters and yet we have only just begun. The NWS Raleigh Forecast Discussion was so nebulous on possible snow on Monday I don't even want to go there and seems they did not want to go there as well. Everyone is fine tuning their forecast graphics for an "event" that's less than 24 hours away. Seriously???
Anyway.......... I may or may not update the blog later today if I am in the mood. It's been that sort of year where it's hard to fine tune anything that far out. La Nina was fading away during the later part of the Hurricane Season when the MJO was a no show and there were no tropical systems of any kind in the deep Caribbean. When you watch the satellite imagery vs every new run of a model you get a better feel for what is at play even if no one has yet to say "El Nino coming" ...
Cold, Damp & Snow Somewhere to the North While I Sip My Nespresso . . . Enjoying Winter in the Carolinas!!
Snow on the radar but not the ground...
Snow staying predictably North of Raleigh....
....this time.
I feel like we need a few "misses" before we get the real deal every year! Supposedly there's a band of "wintry mix" sliding West to East fast about to slide through the Triangle. Will see. When I first moved here years ago I'd stand outside on the deck waiting for snow flakes to fall and all I got was cold, nasty rain. I don't do that anymore, though I do peek outside just in case. If I need snow that much can go to Upstate NY or Colorado to visit the kids and hopefully I will sooner rather than later.
It is really dark outside. Dark and damp. So dark. No pics, use your imagination. Took a little walk, talked to my neighbor and sipped my Istanbul Nespresso and it was a nice cold wintry morning. Not too cold mind you, but really dark. The cloud layers must be wild for it to be this dark in the morning. It reminds me of how it looked at the peak of darkness during the Great Eclipse a few years back. I was watching the temperatures hang tight last night in the low 40s, I did not expect to see snow on the ground when I woke up and it's not.
There's wintry mix up there somewhere...
...in the many layers of the atmosphere.
But it's not here at ground level.
Funny thing is that it through the window it looks like there's snow falling, fine snow... a sort of illusion like those rainy days in Paris. I love the winter. I'm crazy about the winter. Snow or no snow and I do believe we will eventually get snow this winter. It's only December 5th! Lord have mercy, have some patience!!
That's it for today's post. Mercifully short! Wearing this big oversized brown fleece lined sweat shirt that falls to one side across my shoulder as if I am back in the 80s. It's a fun look, it's a fun feel and I am enjoying the beauty of cool, fresh, clean air rather than hot, stale summer air that hangs tight around your body and there's barely a breeze. I'll take winter in Carolina anytime.
Have a wonderful weekend! Trying to figure out what to make for my Sabbath meal tonight. Will figure it out, enjoying the moment a bit longer and savoring my Nespresso!
Jack Frost & Sunrise Through the Carolina Pines!! Will It SNOW Tomorrow?? Who Knows ??? Supermoon in December is the "Cold Moon"
Woke up this morning, deep down under the covers as I prefer lots of blankets to the heat being on too high and tried to go back to sleep. My husband wakes up early and leaves early. I lay there, playing possum trying to stay in bed and enjoy the cool morning; the weight of the covers and dreams of snow falling from the sky tomorrow morning. As he was leaving he yelled out "there's frost on the cars!" and I giggled and jumped out of bed, threw on my faithful Victoria's Secret soft, warm hoodie over my pajamas, shoes and ran outside to see the frost for myself. I know for people raised up in Maine or Michigan or Minnesota this may sound silly, but in Miami I never could understand what frost was actually.
"Jack Frost" this character from Winter used in stories or referred to in movies really seemed an intangible sort of winter weather. Snow I get, snow I had seen and Ice Storms were explained in detail to me by my best friend who grew up in Upstate New York. Frost seemed some sort of fleeting, ethereal visitor as it creeps in like fog or something - in truth I never was sure. In Raleigh it happens sometimes, you have to be up early to see it and it melts as fast as the sun climbs above the level of sunrise. Even in Winter the sun here can warm things up fast, especially on a relatively clear day the first week of December. It's dry more than it's wet, so generally there's not enough moisture to get a real layer of frost. I live in the Suburbs of Raleigh, maybe if I lived out in the country I'd see Jack more often...
As the picture above shows I saw frost and I made a small smiley face on someone's red car and smiled like a kid. Normally, the only thing we could do similar to that in Miami was either because smoke for a fire in the Glades left ashes on the car or a heavy layer of Saharan Dust. My father was never happy when he saw smiley faces on his car, not because he kept it cleaned and washed but he didn't understand the need to make a smiley face!
Nuff said on the smiley face. But oh the sunrise was beautiful. In Carolina you get the chance in Winter to see the sunrise or set between the bare oak tree branches or through the Carolina Pines. Not exactly a clear cut view of the sky here as there is in South Florida. I finally get why people line up at sunset in Key West to watch the sun set out over the water turning tropical golds, pinks and sometimes even a drop of fuchsia!
Luckily I like the lacy look the Pines make...
As for snow tomorrow? Who knows.............???
Watching videos online.
Raleigh is always in that area of
"definitely maybe"
but
"probably not"
Raleigh is always on "the line"
But there's cold air coming down the road.
I'm a sick puppy.... I love the cold weather.
Had enough of hot weather most my life....
I like when the air feels like the AC is on outside!
On Miami Beach my best friend and I would tell the kids we were going shopping to Publix and run over to the beach about 5 blocks away from our house and watch the moon rise sitting on the boardwalk. Awesomeness. Then we'd rush to Publix and in a frenzy throw enough food into the shopping basket to make it look like we'd been wandering through Publix talking rather than hanging out at the beach. In later years we'd go to Hollywood Beach, after the move up the road, and there's nothing like Hollywood Beach during a full moon, let alone a Super Moon! People line up to watch, especially as astronomers bring telescopes to see the moon up closer; people dance by the band shell or walk on the beach.
