OK...so what the heck does that mean? Does that mean the European community will solve their fiscal woes by following Japanese financial policies and get their money problems to a more manageable position? NO! But, in terms of a statistical rarity, 2 storms of somewhat tropical origins will be effecting the European continent over the next week. See, I read about this from another source and found it interesting enough to share with y'all the potential of some rather wild weather occurring across the pond during the next 7 days! By the way, the Fujiwhara Effect is an interaction of 2 tropical systems doing a Fandango, usually out over the open ocean. Here is a satellite pic of such an occurrence 3 years ago...
So, by using the European operational model depicting the mean sea level pressure (MSLP) over the next week along the western portion of the European landmass and adjacent oceans, watch what may transpire in some term of some rather wild weather for many of our NATO allies. First, Saturday morning. High pressure over merry old England with a nice storm just west of Portugal...
Sunday am...A large area of inclement weather begins to materialize from Iceland over to the Bay of Biscay. Note to the SW is tropical storm Nadine...
Monday am...The low pressure consolidates over central England and Nadine lurks to the SW...
Tuesday am...Now that is one heck of a gale just to the north of northern Ireland! The Celtic and Irish Seas will be rockin'! Nadine inches closer to the Iberian Peninsula...
Wednesday am...now the low pressure fandango commences...Standing on the Rock of Gibraltar could be rather interesting at this time!
Thursday am...Spain and Portugal just got rocked by dare I say an Atlantic tropical system! And she's coming to pay the Londoners a visit...
Friday am...A tropical storm just to the west of London...say over by Bath, Bristol, or even Stonehenge! If it were further east, maybe we could add a Chapter to the Canterbury Tales.....sorry!
So there it is...a rather stormy time is in store for western Europe and the UK. Now, whenever tropical systems are involved, it can be somewhat like a crap shoot trying to pinpoint details of the storminess. However, the ocean water temps off the west coast of Europe do support storms to hold on as there as anomalous warmth is present in the adjacent oceans of western Europe. Take a look...
So, I found this scenario rather interesting and thought I might share all of this with with y'all...after all, our own weather is not too interesting other than a shot of true autumnal air for Sunday through Tuesday. The 850s have a freezing temp all the way down to our latitude for Monday am. Thus look for some patchy frost not too far away from KMDT if calm conditions settle in for a perfect radiational cooled nighttime!
Here is a one day temperature anomaly for us next Monday...~6-9 below normal for us...
So there you go...can you tell I haven't had to work many games this week? Time to teach, study the weather, and read all of the pros and cons for the new iPhone 5! I will attest to the fact that new iOS 6 is most certainly speedier in certain applications and SIRI and my car's Blue-tooth are now seeing "eye to eye" in a much more efficient manner. Perfecting the voice acquisition is a huge improvement! Apple stock at $700.00 a share is unreal...the question is can they continue to deliver products that this techno savvy world wants and or needs for improved quality of life? I believe the long term answer is "yes". Let's see how the iPhone 5 sells on its release tomorrow...time will tell.
Enjoy your week's end!

AA: Western Europe to experience some wild wx next week. Cool to cold for us next Monday...should've bought Apple stock back when I was punching the keyboard of a II GS!
