So far all the climate data from the long range models are agreeing on temperatures averaging above normal for the upcoming Winter 2024-25 season. That doesn't mean we won't see any snow but it might be hard to come by. I think there will be brief cold air intrusions from the polar vortex and then it retreats and we are warm up again. It's going to be another roller coaster winter season. At least that is what the models are saying as of today. It might change next week. Such is the nature of wx computer forecasting.
On the other hand, the data does show that the polar vortex will try to visit us as early as Halloween this year.
Will freezing temperatures reach central Georgia on November 1st? I doubt it but this a good indication that cold air will invade the eastern half of the US some time after October 26th.
In other news, AccuWeather is now doing six week daily forecasts. I don't see how those can be reliable but at least you can spot trends and patterns. According to AccuWeather, we will see our first snow on November 15th which is about average.
Until then, enjoy the great fall weather.
