Cold Roller Coaster Ride From Mother Nature. Wind Chills Feel Like Arctic Vacation.


uschill.gif (640×480)

The story in some places today is the WIND.
I've been told my Grandkids went to school wearing 2 coats ;)
Yes they have school, cold but no snow.


Baby it's cold out there would be an understatement but it's not news to anyone with a smart phone or who lives on a steady diet of TWC as if it's the latest Starbucks Seasonal Latte. But this week many parts of the East Coast get an array of different weather all within the same few days. Pick your favorite from the menu and hide in bed for the day you don't like. Note the sub zero temperatures on the WIND CHILL map above.  Wouldn't it be wonderful if Starbucks delivered? In Raleigh the temperature tonight is diving down to 17 in my area, but it will be 70 on Sunday. There's a chance of fog, freezing rain and warm rain all thrown in to the same forecast. What a menu Mother Nature if serving this week!





If you are still drinking frappes you must be in Miami.


In the Nation's Capital it's a cold day in December.

In the Great Lakes area there is snow.
Buffalo is back in the white stuff again.
As is Cleveland where my friend's kids had a snow day.

But it's the roller coaster feel of this that's the problem.
People don't have a chance to acclimate.
They get sick easier.
Brrr and then huh?

There's a place up here called Carowinds.
https://www.carowinds.com/
Summertime, camp trips, family trips.
They have a roller coaster.
This week in NC is much like that roller coaster.


I posted that earlier this week on Twitter.


The discussion from the NWS this morning...
...says just that. A roller coaster ride.


Luckily on Sunday we will be near 70 degrees.
Beach anyone?

You can't say the weather is boring this year!
Note even New York City warms up to 60 degrees!

Pick your days to venture outside if you can...
...if you can't then well wear 2 coats!

Or as a friend of mine said on Facebook ;)
You might want to put on that long underwear ...


As for me my two youngest kids drove in from Miami last night.
No not for the weather ... NC State Graduation.
My little Wolfpack is home :)
...here to celebrate a best friends graduation.
The youngest son drove in with her to touch base.
Sweet indeed.
So I'll be doing Starbucks while he is here!

As for you....

Stay warm and follow the NWS.

www.weather.gov


Note that weather in the West will be heading East.
As I cover Hurricane Country I rarely mention Western Weather.
But heads up... it's blowing this way!

We be so zonal!

NHC SAYS 20% Still .. Low Chances But Possible. Hey Chicago Did Win the World Series Maybe Anything Is Possible .. Seasons Change At Starbucks. No More #PSL


Still 20% for the 5 Day for Tropical Formation of any kind.


Really isn't much to say other than there is a chance...
...as NHC covers it is something to show here.



Areas to watch posted on www.spaghettimodels.com

While it is rare it's easy to see how tropical energy oozes North.
Up into the Central Atlantic... 
...way better than a Lava Lamp if you ask me ;)

So keep watching unless you are watching colored leaves falling.
Celebrating the big win last night in extra innings.
If so you may be a little sleepy this morning.
You didn't miss much.

Keep watching and I'll update later if needed.

Ps.. Worth reminding people to vote. My key in voting is to vote for the candidate I best believe can be President and that I can go home and go to sleep feeling I did the right thing. I do like to party but I have never been a "party girl" so I'm your typical Independent voter. I'm a bit too logical to follow the crowd or be told who I need to vote for... Sort of like ordering drink at Starbucks if I don't like the drink I'm not going to order it just because Starbucks put it on the menu and everyone else is posting pics of it online. If I don't I'll just go back to my regular Tall Soy Caramel Macchiato with an extra shot of espresso and sometimes only 1 shot of syrup. I know I'm complicated. Obviously. That said the new Peppermint and Hazelnut flavors are in stock. Seems that Starbucks has pulled the plug on Autumn and is moving full blast into HO HO HO Time ;)

Watching 0% Yellow Circle in Caribbean . . . Watching Winter Maps Go Up on Spaghetti Models. Vote... Enjoy Nice Weather While You Got It. Pumpkin Spice Latte


Not much into the October Surprise Concept here..
Zero percent is zero percent.
0%
NHC way of saying "Yes we see it"

sat_wv_east_loop-12.gif (640×512)

Strong upper level winds inhibiting development.
Still we watch... 


Going to keep this sweet and simple today.

Note above areas in the Caribbean and Atlantic are highlighted.
It's not over til it's over.

But as Mike has put up his now Winter Maps.
It's almost over . . .


http://spaghettimodels.com/

I know because I've been waiting to see if he did or not.

And this is why ...


It's snowed.
This is the picture everyone takes.
It's their deck covered in snow.
Means their summer is over.

In truth it's Autumn across most of America.
Autumn breaks all geographic lines.
In Miami people are sipping Pumpkin Spice Latte.

So just saying.
Weather is beautiful in much of the country.


Few watches or warnings.
So go out and vote!
Vote early.
Or be conventional and wait til Election Day.
Go out, enjoy the weather.
In most of the country it's going down hill from here.
Snow will descend at some point.
Cold bitter winds from the North....

Enjoy it while you got it!

Ps..  Autumn won't last forever. If anything changes in Caribbean.
I'll update as needed. 



I'll admit in Miami more people are using the Chili Mocha Drink ;)
