PNA underperforms, trough moves into the west coast. Wave cuts west, antecedent airmass was barely climo anyway. T-0.2” rain area wide.
Rinse, repeat until April.
Sort of. Big low late next week looks locked in, although details and timing still uncertain. However it doesn't look like it will incorporate a strong feed of true polar air anymore. So seems like we moderate for a few days probably around Thanksgiving itself. But ensembles and op runs too are suggesting another push of cold air late in the holiday weekend perhaps. That's 2 weeks away though so take with salt.
12z op runs are all entertaining. Looks like potentially multiple reinforcing shots of cold air from late next weekend into the holiday. Definitely big lake effect and upslope snow potential and I think first flakes possibilities for east of the mountains even? Finally some interesting weather! And euro runs to 360 hours!
Nice job. That’s a ton of work. I think you’re in the right ballpark for our area. Hoping we get a 2-3 week period of real winter at some point (probably January as you say) and then maybe a couple flukes outside that if we’re really lucky. But don’t think anyone would be shocked with nearly wall to wall bikini weather.
