weathafella Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Through the first half of December (12/15): BOS: +0.3 BDL: +0.6 PVD: +0.7 ORH: -0.4 We'll tack on some more plus through 12/20 or so and maybe beyond for another week. Good bet for December finishing above in most places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather have a coat on on a cold rainy day than feel like its October. Warmer rains at this time of year have a way of making you feel like you do on a warm humid day. But that's just my opinion.

heavy_wx Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Nice post. One thing I'm wondering about; those 200 mb VP anomalies seem to be located near the Maritime Continent in 10 days and continue to propagate eastward after that. Wouldn't that correspond to the "warmer" MJO phases? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted December 16, 2014 Author Share Posted December 16, 2014 I think it would actually correspond to a more dateline and even Aleutian ridge and then a gradual push east. In fact, you can see that the euro ensembles actually try to retro the ridge a bit from AK after like day 13. I always treat this as showing the general area or region of where the forcing may be. It seems like there are variables with these that won't always match up to composites. So I don't take these as verbatim...I just take them as showing you the general idea. It seems like the ridgimg starts in a big way thanks to the PAC jet weakening and retracting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted December 16, 2014 Author Share Posted December 16, 2014 The pattern in a way may be a gradient pattern too. Some signs the SE ridge tries to build a bit. Some similarities to last year, only perhaps maybe with some -NAO? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Scott would you say the EURO ensemble mean is more likely to verify in the 11-15 day vs the GEFS wrt the ridge placement over AK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the forcing, IMHO the EC makes sense. However, there could always be some wiggle room to either model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neblizzard Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 The GEFS ensembles from this morning are just wow. My Christmas we see a massive block over the Davis Straights and building heights over Alaska and western Canada. This looks to lock in thru the rest of the run. It should be a good few weeks as Scott alluded to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dear CoastalWx, Thank you so much for your awesome contributions to this forum that say that I will get snow. Your write-ups add so much value to this forum when they indicate that I will get snow. Your post is a prime example of why AmericanWx is the best online weather forum in the world, because there are world class meteorologists that interact with amateur enthusiasts and provide fantastic analysis and insights into why I will get snow. Keep up the awesome posting and providing the community with your invaluable knowledge (as long as it isn't about me not getting snow - don't be a debbie).

No Debbie, just sayin'. Good points. But in all honesty, nobody could have predicted that type of a stretch was ahead either from back on December 16th 2010. Those things just kind of evolve/happen when a pattern is good it seems. If this is half to three quarters as good as that, we'd all be happy.
