January: Medium/ Long Range: May the Force be with Us....
frd replied to Weather Will's topic in Mid Atlantic
https://x.com/ryankanerWX/status/1872004512376127920 Appears that the EPS with trough axis too far East, even at hour 342, hopefully things change in future runs, if not might just end up with very cold and dry conditions, storms way offshore of the Mid Atlantic and even the NE. -

Time is in the eye of the beholder, or is that beauty. -

Need to score by Jan 10 because the latest weeklies progress to your typical Western trough and SER by mid Jan. The window of oppurtunity is getting smaller. https://x.com/webberweather/status/1871302683820265887 -

Even a severe - NAO is not a gaurantee of cold and storms for our area. Three timres in the last 7 years we have had -3.0 NAO and nothing to prove for it. Even had historic - AO and resulted in zero snowfall. We really need a favorable Pac and a lot of luck as well. -

Yes, but as pointed out by @psuhoffman , we do have the Pac in our favor this go around, ( minus the feedback loop ) but still a concern, don't mean to be a Debbie Downer. -

The warm Atlantic has been mentioned in this possible connection. The NAO block the is forecasted may very well linked with the SER diminshing the benefits of the NAO block. Hence the favorable patterm in the long range never happens, but that is too soon to worry about. -

First time in a million years I have seen the AO drop like this heading into prime climo in our area, and right after the Winter solstice as well. Past examples of this timing had the cold locking in for a while, combined with storminess. Cold temps arriving with likely odds in early Jan., along with signals that support SECS. Watch the -AO drop even before the EOY. -
Great post by Tomer on the pattern evolution going forward. I like it ! mentions the word snow .... https://x.com/burgwx/status/1870246071852572678

Well, with the cup 1/2 full, ratios would be much higher.

All we can ask is being in the game.

Big changes start during this time frame as alluded to you and @CAPE https://x.com/bamwxcom/status/1869713225148686705

Canada is also well above normal with some of their anomalies in excess of 30 degrees above normal. That indicates no further cold intrusions for the U.S. for the foreseeable future.

Cloudy here, thought the forecast was mostly sunny.

From BAMM WX, explanation regarding the Euro AI outcome. https://x.com/bamwxcom/status/1866927389604995170

Not looking good, and when it gets colder in early 2025 Tomer states the pattern only supports a clipper in the East. Tomer states similiar to the early December pattern with below normal temps, but also below normal precip. https://x.com/webberweather/status/1865454685676806338 https://x.com/webberweather/status/1865454685676806338

Annual Christmas period warm up may not happen this year. Would break tradition going back many years. Most encouraging is the pattern forecased later month, but even more is not seeing the rapid rise in the AO and snow cover is not going to be eroded in the source regions such as in years past.
-
As for the AO, it has been closer to normal, at times going negative. I am more concerned with the Pac for our chances of cold and snow in the Mid.Atlantic.
-
By that time we here in the lowlands are in a better climo spot.
-
If that happens you can kiss Jan good bye. Once the Western Canadian souce region is scoured of cold air it will take weeks for the entire process to reverse. Of course speculation, but persistance the last 5 to 7 years. Have to wee if Webb is correct about Jan. I could less about the-NAO and the -AO its all about the +PNA/ +TNH.

Does the Euro bias of burying energy in the SW still exist after all these years ?
-
Would think a clipper is one good option, in addition to what you mentioned.
-
More of a concern if the winds were really sustained from the East for a long period of time. But, yes presently the Atlantic SSTs have been above normal for some time this Fall. + 2 to + 6 degrees F. Of note, the great Blizzard of 2003 even turned to sleet here at the end, because of 1,000 mile fetch of ENE winds coming off the off the Atlantic at 35 to 45 mph.
