Both the ECMWF and GFS are in decent agreement with the overall synoptic scale pattern. I didn’t look at either close enough to notice any discrepencies between the two, which I’m sure there are, but both show an omega block setup for the first part of this week. Towards mid week the amplified west coast trough will break down the central US ridge to some degree, allowing strong mid and upper level winds over the northern plains the latter part of the week. That is when we’ll get our next decent chance for tornadoes.
I have spent very little time on this since there really isn’t much to look forward to. I’ll start paying closer attention as the week progresses and we get a little closer to any severe weather chances. Until then I’ll only update with brief forecasts.
In other news, my god damn air conditioner has been out since Friday. I called the front office of the apartments I live in on Saturday morning, but then never sent anybody out to look at it. So this morning I called back. The answering service took the call and I told the lady what happened. She said, “yeah if its not over 75 then they don’t get out there right away”. Obvioulsy she wasn’t real sure what part of the country we’re in so I reminded her it was 97 degrees on Saturday. The guy finally came out here, but said he needs to replace the fan motor and he can’t get one until tomorrow. Long story short I’ve been sweating my nuts off in my apartment all weekend. It sucks.
