In tokyo, we have yet to feel signs of autumn, but johnat johnathan has news for those not a fan of summerlike conditions. Feeling early, i know its the fall months, but were talking about snow that is trying to fall in some of the higher elevations, and were talking about where we are getting reports of the sn snosnow snow falling four days later than the average year, not the earliest snow, but its certainly still seems earlier for those of us waiting more in the later months. It was 13 days later than last year so last year was faster. Not particularly surprising. Heres the picture that came out. You can see here, right there some of the snow that accumulated on those higher peaks, and s if you like colder weather, you may want to stop by sometime and check it out on some of the peaks. Now, the reason why were seeing this take place, and we have a low pressure system located further towards the north, it is intensifying and gathering strength, and thats a reason why w see these lines. We call these iso bars, area of equal pressure. The closer they had, that means winds are going a bit faster, and the system is getting more and more intense, a deeper low, and thats forcing in colder air. Were looking at a combination of moisture, maybe even more cold air as the possibility precipitates into a flurry typesetup. It will dry out and the system moves away bringing much more Clear Conditions as we go later on throughout the week. I nt to point out, theres moisture from the south and west into the Korean Peninsula into the island, and we are going to see essentially more moisture developing from that as we go forward in time. Now, i do want to point out whs happening over towards Mainland China where a Tropical Storm now, much weaker system, is now constantly getting wker and continuing to slowly move towards the west, northwest. Now, this system was a deadly one, two people died over in taiwan because of the system as it landed as a typhoon on monday. Now we are seeing the system continuing to weaken. Eventually, its just going to peter out as an organized system, but the moisture, though, will still linger and it probably gets picked up by another system moving north and east, so well keep an eye out for that. The forecast in north america, theres a low pressure system in the south. This thing does not want to go anywhere, so it comets to bring lots of clouds and moisture and thunderstorms and heavier rain bands, and we have a cold front located to the north, so that southerly flow clashes with the cold front from the north bringing heavier rainfall all along the eastern sea board and so into portions of canada, so be prepared for that. The tropical system in the atlantic spins out there, watching that the next few days, and a quick look at marty, a Tropical Storm at this point, intensified to a hurricane for a brief period of time, but triggers trap call storm warnings in portions of the western coast and mexico. Well keep an eye out for that. Europe, we are seeing High Pressure keeping a good portion of the skies clear in the north, instability in the south, bringing clouds, and some thunderstorms as we go through the day tuesday.
