Lucky April 13th to you!  Keep up the great work America!

1. New COVID-19 cases at home peaked  as much as 3+ weeks ago and have been dropping.

2. New cases as reported from positive test results, unexpectedly did not fall last week. However, we now have   a statistical triple top technically for 4-4, 4-9, 4-10.  Odds are high to see a consistent(but not every day) drop for the rest of the month.

3. Old cases resulting in deaths are the last to peak. This may have happened. 2,051 deaths on Friday was a new high. 


Smiley faces

  We've turned the corner!


 Despite the current pandemic, we still live in the best time of human history. This Coronavirus panic has peaked!  The shut downs have worked but must continue for a short while.  The new infection numbers SHOULD BE decreasing the rest of the month(on many days but not every day). The  number of  daily new deaths will be the last to go down while daily infections rates are dropping.

 Scroll down and  enjoy the latest comprehensive weather to the max...... occurring because of the natural physical laws in our atmosphere as life on this greening planet continues to enjoy the best weather/climate in at least 1,000 years(the last time that it was this warm) with the added bonus of extra beneficial CO2.



Reasons to be thankful here in 2020!

Soilmoisture anomaly:

These maps sometimes take a day to catch up to incorporate the latest data(the bottom map is only updated once a week).


Soils in the Central Cornbelt have dried out enough for early planting. Places like Central IL have done alot of work.

  Plenty of time to dry out elsewhere.

The pattern continues to look chilly but dry.

The top map is the Canadian ensemble average,  the maps below are the individual members that make up the average at the end of week 2.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Each member is like the parent, Canadian model operational model.......with a slight tweek/variation in parameters. Since we know the equations to represent the physics of the atmosphere in the models are not perfect, its useful to vary some of the equations that are uncertain(can make a difference) to see if it effects the outcome and how.

The average of all these variations(ensembles) often yields a better tool for forecasting. It's always more consistent. The individual operational model, like each individual ensemble member can vary greatly from run to run.........and represent an extreme end of the spectrum at times. The ensemble average of all the members, because it averages the extremes.............from opposite ends of the spectrum.........changes much less from run to run.

End of week 2....................0z  Canadian ensembles:



Last Monday: Big battle between northern stream and southern stream. Upper ridge Northwest Canada and downstream trough in Central Canada to the Midwest is excellent for cold air delivery from the northern stream. Trough in the Southwest and points east part of the southern stream........moist flow.

Tuesday: The average looks zonal in the US because it takes extremes from 2 ends and divides them by the number of solutions. Pronouced northern stream with cold from Canada. In the US, wide spread in solutions ranging from a dry/cold northern stream to lots of moisture from the southern stream and potentially stormy.

Thursday: After 10+ days of strong northern stream with chilly dry air, the late week 2 maps show the southern stream taking over and northern stream retreating. Turning warmer and possibly wet for the last week in April..........for this model solution.

Saturday:  Zonal look to the average but wide disparity of NOT zonal flow from individual solutions. Turning wetter in week 2 with more southern stream influence. 

Sunday: Active southern stream and wet!

Monday: Zonal average and also many individual solutions with zonal.........so good agreement. Might be a bit active with fast moving, Pacific origin  systems but not that wet as deep moisture from the Gulf is cut off. Temps close to average.

GFS Ensemble mean(average of all the individual solutions above).  The first map is a mid/upper level map. The 2nd one is a temperatures map at around 1 mile above the surface. These are anomalies(difference compared to average).

NCEP Ensemble t = 360 hour forecast


Last:  Sunday: Decent positive anomaly N.Pacific/Alaska coupling with impressive negative anomaly in Central Canada that extends to the Northeast US. Favorable for strong, late season cold to dump into the Midwest to Northeast.

Monday: Positive anomaly Alaska fizzles out. Still a negative anomaly in Central Canada. New modest positive anomaly in the Southeast.

Tuesday: Positive anomalies off the West Coast and N.Atlantic. Main anomaly is over the Hudson Bay extending south to the Midwest..............very chilly in the Plains/MIdwest to Northeast.

Thursday. Slight positive anomaly Pac NW Coast area, negative anomaly Central Canada extending south into the Midwest.........source of more northern stream cold/dry on this model. Not agreed on by all models/solutions. Some are warmer and wetter.

Saturday: Positive anomaly southcentral US will really warm things up. Lingering chill in the Northeast?

Sunday: Positive anomaly over Greenland, modest negative anomaly central Canada could bring some chilly air to the Upper Midwest to Northeast.

Monday: No anomalies far from average. Fast zonal, west to east flow regime.

Latest, updated graph/forecast for AO and NAO and PNA here, including an explanation of how to interpret them...............mainly where they stand at the end of 2 weeks.


https://www.marketforum.com/forum/t


Previous analysis, with the latest day at the bottom for late week 2 period.

Discussions, starting with the oldest  below.

                                    

Last Sunday: AO a tad positive. NAO goes from solidly negative(cold) rising close to 0. PNA a tad negative. The -NAO up until late is part of the pattern that will be excellent for delivering cold from Canada into the US.

Monday: AO still a bit positive. NAO goes from negative to a slightly positive. PNA a tad negative. The actual weather pattern is great for cold in the northern tier, the -NAO in week 1 is great for this but it increases in week 2, so we MIGHT warm up late week 2.

Thursday: AO is a bit positive surprisingly during  the upcoming near record cold.........unusual. Solidly negative NAO is behind it entirely. NAO gets close to 0 late week 2........moderating in temps.  PNA hovers just below 0.....nothing there. 

      Saturday: AO positive but drops a bit late. NAO negative but back near 0 late. PNA negative but back near 0 late. Fading influence from these indices that tell us more about the northern stream, as the southern stream becomes more dominant.                              

Sunday: AO is much lower today, even a few negative solutions, same with the NAO, so there is some support for the chilly air in the Midwest/Northeast to continue longer than the models think. Negative PNA moves towards 0.

                                    

Monday: AO drops to around 0, NAO goes up than down both have a wide spread. PNA increases to around 0.  Nothing from these indices worth dialing into the upcoming pattern. They are best used during the cold season as northern stream indicators. The -NAO at times does suggest some chilly weather in the Northeast quadrant.
