I don't know what is so wrong about a -PNA pattern. I am more worried about a +EPO , But that +EPO should be going away. I seen winters where the cold goes from the West Coast to the East Coast with a combo of -EPO and -PNA. We can have a trough west and trough east is what I am saying.
Well with so much of it happening now maybe just maybe there won't be any more of it until April. But realistically, there will probably be another period later January. Then finally February-March it stays cold.
What is going on?. Never seen such a difference in the EPS and GEFS ensembles models. It must have to do with the fact that the EPS has a tough time figuring out the EPO region. All credit goes to Bamwx on twitter.
Just yesterday the GEFS was looking like this early yesterday.
Then midday looked like this
Dr. Judah Cohen is pulling the plug in Winter so that must mean the opposite will happen. My oh my what does this imply?. Possible Ural blocking make hit the PV hard?.
It's been at the very end of the Euro Ensembles three runs in a row up hasn't moved up in time. It was mentioned that the GEPS has also supporting Euro Ensembles but the last run has been backing away from a full blown torch. The GEFS keeps getting colder in the long range.
The skill level of the Weeklies have been terrible. Sure we have a La Nina but it's becoming more east based that should argue for a better Pacific more of a negative -EPO, +PNA.
Sadly, the GEFS has been outperforming the EPS/CMC in the long range this fall season. We shall see if it's correct here as well. Hopefully, the first week of December is just a Pacific shuffling that ushers in a -EPO, +PNA pattern.
First of all, it's only November. Sir the major pattern doesn't look like it's coming to materialize. As it's a fake -EPO not a real one like last winter. But then again this is the 2nd year of a two year La Nina. If things are going to go real bad and we get some really warm temps might as well get them now. So just before Christmas the goods can come.
