A WINNING COMBINATION...
TIS THE SEASON...

STILL NEED YOUR HELP WITH MY FUNDRAISER... We are up to 291 of you who have made a voluntary $12 dollar donation to TSwails.com. I still need the support of 109 more of you to keep things going. Thanks to your generous donations to date, we are on our way and with a little more help we'll achieve our goal. All I'm asking is that if you enjoy the site and see value in it, please consider a voluntary subscription. I'm asking $12.00 dollars for a year. That's $1 dollar a month or 3 cents a blog if you consider the fact there were 450 posts issued over the past year. The site requires a significant commitment of time and resources and every donation, whatever the size is deeply appreciated. I just need a little help to cover the expenses. Click on the link below if you can assist or or need additional information. I thank you for your support and consideration.
NO TIME LIKE THE PRESENT....
After four days of November chill, it's time to turn the page and flip the script. In other words, warmer days are here again. Over the next 7 days the temperature departures around the Midwest are forecast to look like this on the GFS.

For most of my area, that means temperatures averaging about 7 degrees above normal per day.

That means starting Saturday and continuing into the middle of next week highs should be in the upper 50s to mid 60s. A real nice run of November warmth. Here's the 500mb jet stream flow that delivers the pleasant readings.

The GFS meteogram depicts the building warmth reaching its peak Sunday and Monday. Notice though what happens further down the road. Temperatures really tank with the passage of a couple strong cold fronts and we could end up paying dearly for the warm-up, especially towards November 18th-20th.
