In this report, we embark on a journey through the dynamic world of meteorology, offering a glimpse into what has unfolded and a glimpse into the future, all guided by our patent-pending LRC methodology & technology. Weather 20/20 is proud to be the long range forecaster for two prominent teams: the Baltimore Ravens (since January 1, 2024) and the Kansas City Chiefs (since 2008). The Ravens grounds crew had the forecast for this past weekend’s storm since our first report January 1st, and the storm arrived right on schedule, around one day later than was predicted. The weather ended up rather nice for the Chiefs victory to go to the Super Bowl on this past Sunday.
Welcome to the Weather 20/20 Intelligence Report. Let's dive right in!
Let's kick off by delving into the remarkable journey of discovery, spanning 37 years, where I finally unraveled the cycling weather pattern. Over these decades, we’ve dedicated myself to researching and sharing my findings, and this past year's developments are truly remarkable as we continue to unravel the mysteries of the atmospheric river above us.
Now, let's turn our attention to these two maps, capturing a singular moment in time while vividly showcasing this year's intricate weather pattern. Our focus is on the flow over the vast expanse of the Northern Hemisphere, approximately 18,000 feet above, specifically the 500 mb level. In this first map, take note of the circled region encompassing the northeastern United States and southeastern Canada within the first cycle of this year's LRC.
In LRC Cycle 2, the astonishing journey continues as a remarkably similar pattern unfolds, cycling back through the week before Christmas. Take a moment to appreciate where the patterns from the first two cycles of this year’s pattern align at 6 to 7 weeks apart. It's this incredible phenomenon that allows us to make accurate long-range predictions, from as soon as this afternoon to up to a year in advance.
Once again, let's emphasize that these two maps represent mere snapshots in time, providing a glimpse of the intricate and ever-evolving cycling weather pattern within the 6-7 week range. The Lezak Recurring Cycle (LRC) beautifully encapsulates the perpetual flow of this atmospheric river above the Northern Hemisphere. It's worth noting that a similar cycling pattern exists across the Southern Hemisphere, and there may well be intriguing relationships throughout the entire global circulation. With each passing year, we make new discoveries, further unraveling the complexities of this meteorological puzzle.
We are in the part of the cycling pattern right now that was calmer, in between any significant storm systems. In the week-by-week forecast we prepared for our enterprise customers, this week was spot on from over a month ago to be a mild and calm week.
As we turn our attention to the next chart, it offers a broader perspective, illustrating the grand atmospheric jigsaw puzzle that we are diligently piecing together year after year.
