Meteorologist. Into weather records. Soft spot for subtropical 🌀. 😻 and nature imagery, too.
Oh wow. I’m more impressed then.

Gen X figured this stuff out on AOL in the early to mid 90s.

You’re welcome. 😉

From 11 years ago, January 7, 2015.

It turns out even the shorter POR sites were higher in some other year, such as 2005 or 1984. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I’ll check the January pressure records. I believe only eastern IA, southeast MN, and short POR sites of WI stood any chance of setting January records this morning. This is near the border of records set in 2015 and 1927 (for longer POR sites).

Second year in a row of measurable snow? Impressive.

The well-defined low-level circulation becoming apparent Saturday afternoon.

The disturbance continues to show organization. Yesterday afternoon, a well-defined low-level circulation popped out of the system.

Development has occurred and it still looks decent.

The disturbance is still looking interesting south of Baja California.

The disturbance offshore Mexico this morning. Some improvement from yesterday.

Probably not much. Simply having something to look at in January there is unique. Why not pay attention in case the unexpected happens? :)
