Will Our Drought Intensify???

Parts of the region have experienced some drought conditions that some analysts believe may intensify over the next several weeks. This map was released September 15 and shows parts of the region, especially central and southern Indiana and parts of north-central Kentucky, experiencing an anticipated worsening of drought conditions.

In addition, a preliminary outlook for the month of October shows a large swath of the country experiencing below average precipitation...

Let's hope the rains over the next couple of days will bring us some modest relief. Let's also hope that the CPC will revise their forecasts for a wetter pattern instead

Also, to keep you posted, I'm working on an extensive winter weather project. My official winter forecast won't be coming out till early November. However, I will be presenting a series of archived data with explanations.

Perhaps you already have other variables you'll be looking at. My perspective will offer an unbiased look at the last back to back La Nina so that we can pick up on any similarities.

I will be focusing my research on the latter part of 2000 into early 2001 time frame.
