It is now November. I would expect the morning temps to be chilling as the Sun makes its way south from the 45th Parallel (just 10 miles north of me). The days are getting shorter (a little over 9 hours), but the temperature this morning is 57º F.
When I look at the conditions in the North Pacific 3 large low-pressure cells are converging in the Gulf of Alaska. The usual pattern, the cells are urged forward like a freight train, arriving at the coast one at a time with a couple of high-pressure cell days of separation. No high-pressure cells at this time.
The rotation of a low-pressure cell is counterclockwise. These three are setting up the typical Pineapple Express formation, drawing in warm, moist air from the area of the Hawaiian Islands. Lots of inbound warm, moist air, rain potential.
Looking at the South Pacific you can see a series of low-pressure cells lined up marching across the equatorial waters.
Buckle up. I think we may be in for a bumpy ride.
