40/70 Benchmark

I remember the old South Weymouth Naval Air Station used to radiate well.

Yea, could be.....like a binary "one or the other" type of deal...we see that with track sometimes, too.

I don't love the strength of that primary so far NW.

Like clockwork....we need to emerge from this nighyly crap/favorable day time oscillation to really take this seriously later this week.

Pre-Christmas Winter Storm Possible Next Weekend Holiday Travel Contingencies Should Be Considered Warm ENSO Flavor to Month of December Continues Despite both the Relative Ocean Nino Index (-.80 SON) and the Multivariate ENSO Index (ON) both being indicative of a meager La Niña event, the month of December has featured a notable departure from the type of pattern normally associated with cold ENSO. Although inconsistencies of this nature are much more common in weaker ENSO events, the deviation during this month of December has been much more prominent than one would expect. Here is the prototypical La Niña pattern: Note the prevalent ridge south of the Aleutians, which tele connects to the downstream trough over the west in what is known as the RNA (-PNA) pattern. However, the mean pattern this month has been essentially the opposite, with an Aleutian low that is very redolent of the baseline El Nino pattern. This type of pattern is much more conductive to east coast winter storms during the winter season, and with winter set to begin this weekend, the atmosphere looks as though it just may oblige during the peak of pre-Christmas roadway roadway congestion. High Volume of Holiday Road Traffic Potentially Impacted by Weather The combination of the MJO entering phase 6 and the continuation of a surplus of Angular Atmospheric Momentum will ensure that the aforementioned El Niño like deviation to the pattern will continue throughout the upcoming week and into the weekend. There is now strong cross-ensemble suite support that this will lead to the amplification of a northern stream shortwave courtesy of a deep eastern northeastern trough, at the precise time that pre-holiday roadway congestion is anticipated to peak this weekend. While significant snowfall, or even a storm, is far from a certainty, what is a certainty is that area roadways are going to begin to look a lot more like Christmas this weekend. Thus it is advised that travelers have contingencies in place in the event that the weather follows suite. More to come this week-

Yea, clearly. I was mobile and having trouble following.

Yack....the mean is that far west? I wouldn't have guessed that...

Kind of like JMA yesterday

@WinterWolfAny thoughts? Do you think changes are in store?

I woud like a "Who Cares" emoji...need more diversification, as they are kind of redundant.

12.0

Just speaking of that particular suite...not a hedge.

Almost a December 1981 look.

Nah, that's his baseline.

Yea, no biggie...

00z always blows.

That would be like Xmas 1995.

Could do without the Dec 2003 type distribution, but at least its a storm.

Of course...

Cool. All I needed to see....00z can resume the regularly scheduled HV runner.

Hopefullly that lead wave pulls in a better antecedent airmass

"Cloudy at Yankee Stadium, visibility 1 mile in Light Bregman".

You can have him....he's so boring...his stats are always presentable...but he's like one of those 6" snowstorms that takes 48 hours to evolve...the kind you love, so knock yourself out-

It would be nice to see at least one deterministic solution that doesn't blow wads for MBY. We all understand how higher intellect, meta types can spontaneously ejac to prime positioned PNA ridges....
