Man-made Republican Global C.C. Means Fewer Tornadoes
2012-08-21
You have to squint and look very hard to find a silver lining in the non-existent storm clouds over central Illinois this spring and summer.
And the rest of the midwest, but this is a Springfield, IL paper.
Chris Miller, warning coordination meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Lincoln said official figures through May show 18 tornadoes spotted in Illinois this year. "Typically, in Illinois through May you would see 35 or so tornadoes," he said.
I wonder where the jet stream is hanging out? By the way, where does the jet stream fit into the "climate models"?
He said the weather pattern has pushed the kind of weather that would cause storms far north into upper Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan and into southern Canada.
Jet stream!

#8  You can't have tornadoes [waterspouts] wid only part of Mama Nature's required hot-cold mix - iff Guam is any measure, the "cold air" is over here as its been chilly of late.

FYI RENSE > [IO9.com] ARCTIC MEGASTORM IS SO POWERFUL ITS TURNING THE ICE CAP TO "SLUSH".

Reminds me of future time + GWCC "Ice Age/Mini-Ice-Age" > GUAM-WESTPAC MIGHTY "SLUSHY".

Not a solid or stereotypical "Ice Age", nor a "warm period, due to Solar Warming + Pert-forecasted upward intensification of global temps.

#5  Nationally, we are way under the average in tornados in 2012.
(see the NOAA graphics here)

however, in 2011 we had much above the average in tornados

#4  From my observations, the weather bubble which floated about New Mexico two years ago, over KS/OK/TX last year is now popping about over IL/MU. If I lived in the Appalachians I'd worry about next summer.

Our high out here was 89 yesterday. It wasn't 89 -at midnight- last year until October.

#3  As residents of the upper Midwest might say, all the storms were pushed north and south by the immense volume of hot air emanating from Chicago.

#2  It was very cool here this morning. I stepped out the back door at 5 AM to let the dogs out and I could see my breath. 52F.
