Rainy system has an El Nino look to itPosted Oct17, 2006 at 06:29 PMHere is an update on rainfall amounts from the storm system that has moved across the southern U.S. Here is a map showing severe weather reports on Monday. This is the kind of southern stream system that seems like it might have El Nino's fingerprints on it. If the southern branch of the jet stream does get cranking like it does in many El Nino years, we may see many of these soggy storm systems ... or icy/snow storms if they catch some cold air later on. Amounts of rain in our area today (midnight-5 p.m.) include 0.79 inch in Roanoke and 1.18 inch in Blacksburg. |
