An interesting post from Phil in the Nadine thread and sort of hints at some of the stuff going on wrt the tropics in the west pac. Lots of wave breaking creating quite an amplified pattern.

Yeah, you've got 2 recurvers going on and the latent heat delivery into the westerlies should excite some -WPO response --> relaying eventually down stream.

That said, there is some remarkable chill for early October in many recent runs of the GFS ...however more or less in the ensemble, but this doesn't actually appear even transitively related to those changes [potentials] in the west Pac. This cold loading is predominantly negative EPO related. In fact, the PNA (total domain) may actually be slightly negative while that is occurring - perhaps a split flow result, but either way, positive height anomalies in the far NE Pac teleconnectos to negative departures near Lake Superior and the operational GFS keeps biting really hard on fulfilling that destiny. We'll see ... The oper. Euro is a weak ally.

If the west Pac sets the R guide in motion it would tend to come to rest on a +PNA out in time, both statistically and meteorological in reasoning.

Yeah there definitely is a split flow look. Interesting indeed. All ensembles do have cold air moving into the Plains and GL region. It's possible we oscillate back and forth here with warm and cold, but still...nice looking pattern.

Well this certainly isn't the BTE (best thread ever).

This will cheer you up... take a look at this story that was on the Today Show this morning about a guy I went to high school with. He played for the Cubs and was hit in the head during his first plate appearance (first pitch too). He was seriously injured and there's been a new push to get him an official major league at bat.

He's a great guy and everyone is so excited that he gets a second chance.

Wow that is just fantastic, will be watching. Thanks for the heads up

Should see some winter headlines for the Montana highlands. Possibly east through the Black Hills of the Dakotas with that up-slope look.

Hey I got nothing out of it either but it was still one of the coolest HECS ever.

It just shows you can get a historic snowstorm in an otherwise torch pattern.

It was definitely lucky to get that...not just because it was October of course which is stating the obvious....but that pattern that set up for that was very transient....we just happened to catch the hail mary pass in that. But the drive to set up the hail mary attempt was that weak block forming in the Davis straight holding in a solid cold anomaly over NE for an extra couple days while the long wave trough got more organized.

Damn...12z GFS is probably snow for some of NNE in lala land...850s -6c? That 384hr panel is looking quite promising for NNE lol :arrowhead::popcorn:

Nice ridging in the GOA though.

That's your negative EPO / AB phase of the north Pacific working to load the Canadian Shield.

Somewhat unrelated, hey Will, it appears the sea ice might just register the first gains of the season over this last week - at least eyeballing the graphics illustrates.

Explain, can't see it yet.

Well it's weenie-ish to discuss an op prog after d7, but it's dam cold north of 40N in general. It almost brings in borderline mix precip into the Berkshires at d10. LOL. But the euro could easily have warmer temps in this area at 00z. Just shows you that some cold air will lurk close by in Canada.

Looks like Jan 1994

If this was 2 months later the cyclogenesis off the coast on Sunday Kevin would be crying for his mama as Will tracked a west trend to clip E Mass with mod snows while Tolland is sniffing cirrus.

In other words it's caving a bit to the GFS.
