Short Term and Intermediate-Term Weather Outlooks for the U.S. and a Six-Day Forecast for the World: posted December 10, 2023
This article focuses on what we are paying attention to in the next 48 to 72 hours. The article also includes weather maps for longer-term outlooks and a six-day World weather outlook which can be very useful for travelers.
We start with the U.S. Information. That is the longest part of the article. Then we have a short section on World Weather and then we address the Tropics. When there are tropical storms that might impact the U.S. we provide more detailed information which updates frequently on those storms.
Please click on “Read More” below to access the full report as I have moved the highlights into the body of the report where it is followed by the Today, Tomorrow and the Next Day maps and a lot more. I will try to feature the most important graphic in the lede paragraph on the home page. But there are often multiple maps that are very important so it is best to read the full article. We now have a snow report and it is possible to get a ten-day NWS forecast for the zip code of your choice.
Introducing the New Polar Vortex Blog – December 9, 2023
This is not the most informative article on the Polar Vortex but NOAA Climate.gov home of the ENSO Blog that I refer to often has started a Polar Vortex Blog and this is the first blog post. I have provided it in this article but you can also find it HERE.
The post is informative but the Further Reading links in the post are probably even more informative.

Status of Western Water Reservoirs. December 6, 2023
I used to report on Reservoir Levels. I think it is time to do that again. The article this evening is a first attempt at doing this.
It contains a lot of information. I will be republishing this article periodically and adding and improving to it. What I am providing today has images that should update automatically. But I also have provided links to those images and additional information.
At this point, it is far from perfect but a start. It is particularly important because in many cases the water in reservoirs comes from last year’s precipitation. So with uncertainty as to how this El Nino winter will evolve, we need to monitor the amount of water we have in storage.
Let’s get started.

ENSO Blog: “How does El Niño influence winter precipitation over the United States?” December 5, 2023
You can read this post on the ENSO Blog HERE but you might find it convenient to read it here.
It is a great article and very worthwhile reading.
I have not added any comments to it in the body of this article. Any comments I have are here in the lede.
A. I question some of the graphics. re the La Nina part of the graphic since -1 is not stronger than -2
B. I was shocked at how poor the performance of the models is. I think how much of a coat our animals grow may be a better predictor.
It is an excellent article, you should read it.
Perhaps I should publish my analysis tool which I used to do. But I would have to update it and that is a lot like work. I think I have the information to do the analysis now
