Clipper may grow to an Arctic spill

 

You can see that the cold air of the clipper is quite powerful, once again forming a giant arc of warm air being cleared out.  

We are still in a big cyclone mess.

On the world front, the Atlantic band has moved south, which means it can't cross Central America.  Africa is still injecting warm air, but the big surprise is that the Pacific is injecting warm air into the Gulf of Mexico.

This is a very chaotic thing, but poor Spotty looks quite almost dead.

Finally, the Arctic hasn't fully filled up yet.  The spills don't start until the fat lady sings, or Greenland goes to 60 below.

ps. I really like these headlines -- "Although we are into a heavy winter, El Nino will come any day now."
