If the blocking doesn't work out then 11/12 would be an ideal analog unfortunately.
December is our best bet.
Given the high oil/gas costs a warm winter wouldn't be a bad thing this year.
It could show an ideal pattern and you'd say it was inaccurate. Your warm bias is overplayed.
Yes AN is favored obviously but I don't think it'll be another 11/12 or 19/20
Sounds like rocket fuel for another 30-40"+ snowstorm nearby.
All you need is a favorable blocking interval which I think is likely this season and boom.
Without blocking it's gonna get warm. The west is getting bombarded with troughs.
I don't mind it though. By November warm is 60s which is lovely. Climo doesn't favor snow anyway.
I do think mid November (or even earlier) will be mild but I also see that being transient.
I think the last third will turn cooler and that will go along with the expected blocking in December.
Afternoon models amping up LLJ for tomorrow night. You can see there's better mixing with higher temps depicted for S/C NJ.
Much more of a wind threat than the last system. Could easily see widespread 40-50mph gusts.
