Weather trends from the current dreariness and some recent higher terrain snowfall to improve with increasingly sunny days, a milder trend possibly into the lower 70s for highs followed by some brief cool downs again but main active part of the jet stream advances north back into Canada.

The jet stream energy lifting northward also related to what is developing with the circumpolar vortex as a stronger (AO) arctic oscillation signal. This temporarily keeps the arctic air bottled up and does not dip down into the U.S. as strongly.

The net effects are milder conditions but still oscillating some to colder weather now and then, but largely above normal in temperature for most of the last half of October. Nothing certain here, but these are the trends.

Overall, I’m still seeing a weaker than normal start to our winter for the months of November and December, with a more back-loaded winter after the holidays ahead.

La Nina plus overheating from fossil fuel burning the main drivers controlling our weather.
