Well my friends, today is a sad day in the weather world. I was informed this evening of the loss of the QuickSCAT Satellite. This is really gonna throw a monkey into the fire now due to, we will not have any coverage of a scatometer until at least 2015 or 2016 when the next generation scatormeter will be launched. This past week Mr Bill Porenza was the guest on the Barometer Bob show and he talked of all this and his fears. I think that I can speak for us all when I say, HELP WE NEED THIS NOW!
Well here it is almost Thanksgiving so I would like to wish all of you a very happy and safe Thanksgiving, before I get into the weather here and about.
Well I don’t think some of you will like what I am about to say so you may wanna go south for the winter, or the time being anyways. Today I was looking around at some of the weather precip models and low and behold There will be a touch of the white stuff for thanksgiving. Where you may ask? I am not gonna tell ya hehe. just joking. From what I could see maybe northern ILL and IN could be seeing some. maybe mixing in with some rain as well. I do not think it will be a white Chi town Turkeyday but maybe a little slick.
As for us here on the east coast, namely NJ? There will be a pesky low pressure area moving it’s way up the east coast. I do not feel as it will be anything like the one of 2 weeks ago, being it will be far enough off shore by the time it reaches the NJ Area, However? and this is a big IF, some of the model runs have the low ramping up by the time it gets to around Maine. So even though our local NWS is calling for rain and showers starting Wednesday Night, I feel as it will hold off until Late Friday into Saturday. Sorry fokes I know just in time for the home bound drive. but hey be happy the temps should be holding in the 50’s and lows in the 40s to upper 30’s for here on the shore.
In closing as I said I hope everyone will have a very nice and peaceful thanksgiving
John
