Late November/Early December disco on the upcoming pattern

This looks great for next week....another torch while it snows in Amarillo, TX. Remember when next week was supposed to be the "cool-down." Doesn't look too impressive with the 850 0C line all the way near the Canadian border, should produce another solid +10F departure:

Both HM/accuwx and you make the point that I was trying to get across. Pattern creep is occuring. I recognize roughly here things are on schedule but we're seeing a gradual moving back of the onset of the cold. Sure there's a center point now around 12/10 with a few days on either side but is that really going to hold or get deflected NE to some extent in the next 2-3 days of runs?

The Dec 3-5 cold shot originally progged was never advertised to be that impressive...mostly near normal to slightly below normal as it had no -EPO and was only +PNA-induced...the Dec 7-10 shot is more impressive with a better transport from the north. It might not be as cold as advertised right now, but it will come. It seems we scrapped the earlier less impressive cold shot for a better one a few days later.

Honestly, as we head into December, I think the next 2-3 weeks will be telling. If cold shots continuously get muted, threats turn into Lake Cutters, and the vortex rebuilds in AK...then we have a concern. However, if we go forward in time and we remain steadfast with at least some chances of wintry weather and don't regress back to this current disaster....then I think it's a good sign we can make a little more improvement heading deeper into winter.

How long are you away for starting 12/17?

I agree on the sacrifice of one for two right now. The problem has been the 5-7 day seems to be where the cold gets muted off a cliff. IE it'd be tonight and Tuesdays runs that would start to pull the parachute on that cold. We'll see...which ties into -->

Totally agree. We need to be in an exhausted transistory pattern by the 20th or so. If we are seeing the ridge make a comeback like Clemens on roids that'll be disconcerting.

Nate snapped. Who next?

As far as the cold being muted, it also may be in the eyes of the beholder. I notice people posting about how the operational runs are cold, but then the ensembles come out and fail to be as cold as the op. I don't think people look at the ensembles as much as the op..and that's ok. It's much easier to have access to the op. Two reasons that ensembles might mute the cold. One of them is the fact that they are composed of many members...some are warm and some may be cold. Smooth them out and you get a more muted picture. The second is that sometimes the op runs are better at showing a more extreme depiction and may be correct in that. Resolution likely plays a role in this. So which is right? Well...both might be correct in some ways. It's usually better to compare with other guidance in order to figure that out.

Might as well mean Howie Mandell because both are saying the same thing. More torches cometh.

"However, we aren't done with "torches" by any means. Another widespread shot is coming mid-December. "

And worse something is happening to the ozone, Ray must be using his aquanet again.

:lol:

I don't think anyone is suprised by the prospect of another torch around mid month....since most of us felt that sustained cold and snow were not on the immediate horizon.

Yeah we have been advertising this "cold shot" as transient...but perhaps long enough to get an event or two in here. I'm not sold ona huge torch mid-month, but I certainly wouldn't be surprised. I'd be surprised at sustained below avg temps...but I think we could also remain closer to seasonal levels mid-month if that W Canada ridging hangs tough...even if the EPO goes back to positive.

Someone could be Socks, him, or even further south. We'll have residual cold and with the pattern coming up...someone seems like they have a shot at something real messy.

Maybe another 31F ice storm that calls for the National Guard, lol.

But in all seriousness, I think we'll have chances, we'll just have to hope the shortwaves aren't phased or hugely amped up...if they aren't, I think we could easily some good SWFEs that produce snow.
