Well it goes to show you that the long range models are trends to watch, not face value obviously.  Although the 18th came and went, we cooled down, but not to the degree they were indicating prior.  It does look like it will cool down around Thanksgiving with a possibility of some flurries - Friday too.  So if you have been ...

Well - according to the 18Z GFS (towards the end of its run), it has some much colder temps. with some snow possibilities.  This is around the 18th of the month - highs in the low 30's, falling off to the upper 20's to near 30 for highs on the 19th.  BUT, this is long-range, which means there is a lot of room for change and it is the 18Z ...

I don't know if it is a named pattern - but we certainly are over 100 degrees below normal (departure) for the month....

Interesting to see how small distances can make a difference.  In Sharonville overnight we recorded 1.40'' which came mostly from the line of storms moving through around 2am.  Up to that point we had hardly rec'd any precip.  Just to our north, there were 4''+ of rain from those stagnant storm cells which were barely moving and ...

You know, the rate at which the models have been going, it's not a sure thing as to when storms might arrive.  If you take them at face value (which is not plausible), tomorrow evening looks to be the most significant threat (12Z runs).  But..... there is certainly a chance that we might see a repeat of this morning with a threat of ...
