Indian Summer For The End of November?
Posted by Dan Satterfield
There are growing sign,s that after one more blast of even colder air next week, we will see some much warmer air over the Central and Eastern U.S. as we head into Thanksgiving. Indian summer may be on the way! The forecast below is based on an average of many long-range model runs of the Climate Forecast System. Research shows that an average of model runs provides a more accurate forecast than any one model, but keep in mind that any long-range forecast usually has very low skill.
Cool info. I came here looking for WHY we’ve had these polar blasts. I know that, a couple of weeks ago, a super-typhoon kinda knocked the “real” polar vortex for a loop sending the first blast of cold air down our way. Are we still dealing with the ramifications of that or are we seeing a repeat of the semi-permanent highs over Greenland that caused us grief last year?
