No cut-off low :( I call this garden-variety low. Yes, it'll form a nor'easter and cause headaches for travelers on Thanksgiving. It's weather. I need to get a picture...I will look for one. A strong high pressure is forming over southwestern Canada. This will actually guide the storms from the Pacific further south, which is great for California. There'll be an amazing temperature gradient of 80+ degrees from southern Canada to Rocky Mountains. Crazy! In a world where the poles warm faster than the tropics, 70-degree temperature gradients over 1000 miles are NOT expected. October 2014 was not an all-time record high month, but it was in the top 5 or so. To me, El Nino is here. Give it 3 months for the atmospheric teleconnections to form in the extratropics. By January, we should see El Nino pattern across the US. Maybe we're seeing hints of it now with 1-3 making landfall on California over next couple weeks. Good for them. I hope they get shit-loads of snow in the mountains; there's plenty of moisture to be squeezed out of the atmosphere with anomalously warm oceans and anomalously cold air in Canada. Thumbs up! Found a picture. Credit: Ryan Maue from Twitter twitter.com providing the map for free, and WxBell's mark is on it (http://www.weatherbell.com/). This maps shows anomaly range of 96F. Holy shit!
