December Pattern Disco- 2013


Damage In Tolland

Recommended Posts

Donnie Baseball says better clean up thru mid DEC snow while you can.

December 2013 Idea (Revised):

It is rare that I wind up revising my monthly thoughts, but in this case it is necessary given the consistency of the data and now clear picture with respect to the Arctic Oscillation.

Hence, my initial December idea (#131) is not likely to verify. The partial teleconnection cases and exceptional consistency in which 2008 was highlighted as the leading teleconnection analog for December since that time argue strongly for a revision.

The final December map based on those partial cases is as follows:

Those anomalies likey reasonably represent the outcome. The notable cold coming to the Northern Plains and Pacific Northwest for the December 3-10 period should produce cold anomalies that won't be erased. At the same time, some pieces of the cold air mass will likely bleed eastward with perhaps a strong cold shot toward mid-month. But then, as the EPO likely rises, what has been the beginning of the end of the transitional period leading to winter will likely yield to more persistent mild weather in parts of the CONUS.

In sum, Canada, the Northern and Central Plains and Pacific Northwest are likely to be colder than normal for December. The Southeast into the Middle Atlantic region will likely be warmer than normal. New England could be near normal with some below normal anomalies in northern New England. The Southwest and Southern Plains should also be warmer than normal.

I think all Don is saying is that there is a warmer risk to the East Coast near mid month and I agree with him. It doesn't have to mean blow torch, but it's the risk. The east coast is Maine to FL. If that happens from NYC on south then that is an overall warm east coast despite it being cooler here. I wouldn't worry about the fine details so far out.

I believe he is forecasting for an entire month, will be interesting to see Dec 31 how the temp anomalies shake out. the EPO has given him fits, he was not including it in his Nov discussions which hurt.
