Tropical Storm Chris Forms

Tropical Storm Chris has formed in the Atlantic. It does appear to be heading in an east direction, before making a 180 and heading west back towards North America.

I'm really sorry for the short posts- believe me, if I had the option, these would be much more informative. However, starting next week, I will be able to post normally for a good 2 weeks.

Cold Waters Near Japan May Be Sign of Positive PDO

I have found a body of below normal water temperatures near Japan, which happens to fall within the PDO monitoring area.
Considering the PDO appears to be quite messy, a positive PDO spike may be happening.
A positive PDO does appear to enhance potential for snowfall in the winter, and I will do more research on it later on.

Numerous Showers and Storms in the Caribbean May Pose Threat

Strong showers and storms could very well provoke a tropical system to affect the Caribbean and potentially the Gulf of Mexico. This will definitely have to be monitored, as these storms are very active.

Tornado Watch #404

Tornado watch #404 has been issued for northeast South Dakota, southeast North Dakota, and western Minnesota.

The watch is valid until 10:00 PM CDT.

There is a high risk of tornadoes in this watch box, as high wind speeds in the atmosphere. Supercells are expected to form in due time, and they are expected to potentially become tornadic.
