Tropical storm Olivia has developed in the western pacific, and with the unusually warm waters off the coast of east Asia, is expected to strengthen into a typhoon, and the most likely path right now is Taiwan or Japan, and within 1-2 weeks typically folling a direct corellation, is an arctic outbreak across the US, and we all remember what Jelawat amounted to, we are still dealing with extreme cold that brought us, if this next typhoon track verifies, could we be looking at yet another round of frigid air and snow in the next few weeks? stay tuned for the latest details concerning that very prospect.
Another typhoon to potentially hit Taiwan or Japan…you know what that means!

I don’t know what to think! Last year we had that freak snowstorm in October in the Northeast and then the rest of winter ended up being a fluke. If we do get some frigid temps and some snow I hope it’s only a preview of what’s to come and not a bad sign
The cold is going to go away..all the models are predicting a big warm-up for the next two weeks for the eastern part of the country
Not just for the east, but for the nation as a whole.
By the way, my mistake on the name of that typhoon, Olivia is in the eastern Pacific, the one in the west Pacific has a name I can’t remember, but it will most likely cause a trough in the polar jet across the Rockies and Midwest in 2-3 weeks, and will eventually push into the eastern US, so expect it to get colder around that time frame.
The forecast two weeks out has it turning much colder once again. One thing that is interesting is how accurate the farmers almanac has been..and the almanac as well. For November 4th-7th they are saying cold and wet with rain and some snow. That doesn’t suprise me since we have already had snow here in the higher mountains of WV.
See, what did I tell you all, the ensemble forecasts verify EXACTLY what I said nearly a week ago, 2-3 weeks out, a potential cold wave and active storm track will ensue in the US.
I have to say, I really respect The Weather Centre for their constant updates and painstaking work they put into each forecast they put out, they are also very careful about what they put out, as correct details are paramount, not just wishcasting.
Whats happening is the jetstream is retreating north only to gather up a fresh supply of arctic air. As the sun angle continues to decrease then the sea ice in the arctic will grow and strengthen the supply of cold air to the U.S.
Yes, but as I discovered not too long ago, is the fact that there is a close correlation between typhoons in the west Pacific curving north/northeastward into Taiwan and Japan, and deep troughing in the jet stream from the Rockies eastward in the US, or at least during the autumn months there is.
Wow good work Guys! Do you think that perhaps that cold air could reach the mid atlantic?
Or the Southeast?
The forecast for this weekend calls for the trough in the southwest to be replaced by a rather strong ridge. I wonder if this ridge will migrate to the northwest? If it does then say helli to bitter cold air. The temperatures up in the arctic are -50 degrees celcius. The southern storm jet (suntropical jet) is starting to become active as well.
Well, it looks like the weather will oscillate wildly over the the next few weeks, as there will be several strong troughs and ridges over the nation these next few weeks.
Indeed. The trough will be back in about two weeks. The forecast now calls for the jetstream in the northwest to weaken and downstream blocking to occur by october 25th.
Well, so far none of these scenarios bring much snow to Colorado below 10,000 feet, as most scenarios put us under unseasonably warm and dry weather for weeks.
