12. One thing to consider on what will be steering this
Sun Sep 25, 2022, 02:37 AM
Sep 2022

is these deep troughs coming through the central CONUS. The computer models have been struggling with the strength and speed of these troughs all summer. For instance where I am in Indiana it was 93 degrees last Wed. By Thurs. night it was 37. The models didn't pick up on that until last Monday. There have been several instances over the summer that the models have been struggling with this anomalous jet stream across the country and I'm sure many have been surprised by sudden changes in the short term forecasts this year.

The West Pacific Typhoon season is late and much farther north than usual. That usually results in an enhanced jet stream over here dipping farther south. Its rare but it happens.

It's been a very strange summer here with some heat but followed by some extended sessions of pleasant temps. I'm not complaining lol. But I do watch weather models and they have really been struggling this year out beyond 3 days at times. Somethings up IMO at least this year and it aint no triple dip La Nina like the media is trying to sell.
