With the exception of a flood watch in one county west of Seattle, there isn't a single storm-related warning or watch out in the Lower 48 United States. Things are going to change greatly this week and it will stay stormy -- as it often is -- Thanksgiving week. Below is the forecast precipitation from Tuesday evening through Thursday afternoon. Forecast precipitation from Thursday evening through Saturday afternoon. Note, a fair amount of this precipitation will be in the form of snow but it is too soon to forecast the snow/rain line. There is also the possibility of severe thunderstorms over the central or southern Great Plains.  This 8-14 Day Forecast for Thanksgiving Week shows widespread moisture across the nation.

The National Ground Stop Has Been Lifted

The FAA has canceled the ground stop. Flights may now operate normally. However, I also received an email from American Airlines minutes ago that they expect major delays and cancelations at least through tomorrow.  Earlier, I recommended Amtrak but I understand they, too, are having issues.  Rental car, anyone?

One of the Finest Papers on Tornadoes That I Have Ever Read

By -

Two illustrations of wind turbines being destroyed contained in the paper.   If you have an interest in tornadoes and don't mind wading through a scientific discussion, I highly recommend the new paper by Josh Wurman, Karen Kosiba and Paul Robinson which was published today in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society. The title: The Greenfield, Iowa, Tornado (2024): Wind-Damage Relationships, Novel LDR  Dual-Polarization Analysis, and Integrated DOW/Video Analysis of Turbine Destruction Thanks to Reed Timmer, there is excellent video of this tornado while it was destroying wind turbines southwest of Greenfield, Iowa.  Again, the paper is highly recommended.

America: Before the Attorneys Took Over

By -

I was working the other day and had an old Price is Right  on the TV. I'm guessing it was from the late 1970's. I couldn't believe it when they gave away an ultralight airplane! No license is required, they said. Can you image a television show giving away an airplane without lessons  today? The corporate attorneys would go crazy and never allow it and the liability would be through the roof.
