Unsettled period coming up right after Thanksgiving and lasting until the following Monday or Tuesday.Euro has some better DP's in the 60's in the western Valley Friday with some better convection.Models are still in the early stages but both the GFS and Euro showing the unsettled period.

 

 

 

For Saturday November 28 - Friday December 04: A frontal system stretching from the Great Lakes southwestward to the southern Plains serves as a focusing mechanism for showers and thunderstorms leading to heavy rain (in excess of 1 inch in 24 hours) for parts of the lower Mississippi and Tennessee Valleys Nov 28.

 

Here's a tidbit off of Joe Renkens blog

And the storm analog of 2006

Unsettled pattern after Thanksgiving still looks good

 

 

 

...SENSIBLE WEATHER HIGHLIGHTS...

THE AREA ENCOMPASSING THE SRN PLAINS NEWD INTO PARTS OF THE TN
VLY/LOWER OH VLY CONTINUES TO SHOW BEST POTENTIAL FOR PERIODS OF
HVY RNFL FROM LATE THIS WEEK THROUGH THE WEEKEND.  CONSULT LATEST
NHC PRODUCTS FOR FURTHER INFO ON ERN PAC T.D. TWENTY-TWO-E WHICH
IS CURRENTLY FCST TO STRENGTHEN AND ULTIMATELY MAY PROVIDE EXTRA
MSTR TO ENHANCE THE SRN PLAINS ACTIVITY.  TO THE NW OF THE HVY
RAIN AREA EXPECT SOME WINTRY PCPN TO EXTEND ACROSS THE NRN HALF OF
THE PLAINS AS THE WRN UPR LOW FINALLY EJECTS EWD.  BY THE LATTER
HALF OF THE PERIOD THERE IS STILL CONSIDERABLE UNCERTAINTY IN
COVERAGE/TIMING OF BOTH NRN TIER WINTRY PCPN AS WELL AS ERN CONUS
RNFL.  THE FIRST HALF OF THE PERIOD MAY BRING SOME LGT/SCT PCPN TO
CA.  THEREAFTER EXPECT A GENERAL INCREASE IN MSTR ALONG THE
CNTRL-NRN WEST COAST BUT WITH SIGNIFICANT QUESTION MARKS REMAINING
AS TO THE TIMING/EXTENT OF THIS TREND.

WITHIN THE INITIALLY VERY COLD PATTERN OVER THE WRN-CNTRL
STATES... THE MOST EXTREME TEMPS SHOULD BE 10-25F BELOW NORMAL FOR
HIGHS OVER AND JUST E OF THE ERN SLOPES OF THE CNTRL-SRN ROCKIES
FRI-SAT.  A BROAD AREA OF MINUS 5-15F ANOMALIES SHOULD LINGER
ACROSS THE SRN TIER INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK WHILE THE NRN PLAINS AND
VICINITY SHOULD SEE TEMPS TREND ABOVE NORMAL.  ACROSS THE EAST
WARM TEMPS ON FRI WILL BE REPLACED BY NEAR TO SLIGHTLY BELOW
NORMAL READINGS.

RAUSCH

 

 

Uncertainty though forward into early next week.If the Euro is right Tuesday there would be a strong slow moving cold front swinging through

Been so quiet here from a wx standpoint...I am only looking at the wx models every other day. I only look at the GFS. If it isn't cold, none of the rest are. Hey, thanks for sharing that map. Maybe a break towards cooler weather.

Here is a Judah Cohen interview with the Capital Weather Gang. Would support John's thinking...

He has high Siberian surface press on his side. However, where is that going to dump? Europe? Asia? North America? MJO is about to go into warm phases again; hence, December CFS and ECMWF charts are on fire. After that, strong East Nino still favors warm North America. Probability of the Siberian dump into North America is about 1/3, leaving warm signals for the other 2/3. I still double climo odds of a warm winter. Likely be just slight above Valley, but North America looks warm.

He seems to be talking in circles with his last update today on AER compared to the Post article you posted.Made it sound like we had a fairly decent chance for a good winter on the Post to possible gloom and doom on AER    :unsure:

IDK...the AER seemed about the same. The polar vortex is so stable...nothing new to say. Every winter has surprises...just waiting to see what this one holds. Warm? Cold? Snow? Or not? I know this...my leaves are off the trees far earlier than normal. Now, time to go weigh some squirrels to see if they are getting loaded up for winter. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

DAYS 2/3...

...SOUTHERN PLAINS/LOWER AND MID MS VALLEY/OH VALLEY/TN VALLEY/MID
ATLANTIC...

DEEP MOISTURE ON A STRONG LOW LEVEL FLOW AHEAD OF A FRONTAL
BOUNDARY WILL FEED LOW TOPPED CONVECTION STRETCHING FROM THE
SOUTHERN PLAINS ACROSS THE LOWER AND MID MS VALLEY DURING DAY
2...AND ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS AND THE LOWER MS INTO THE TN
VALLEY DURING DAY 3. HEAVY TO EXCESSIVE RAINFALL IS POSSIBLE
ACROSS THESE AREAS DURING DAYS 2 AND 3. THE MOISTURE BECOMES
STRETCHED OUT ACROSS THE OH VALLEY INTO THE MID ATLANTIC STATES
EACH DAY AS WELL. WHILE THERE WAS GENERALLY GOOD MASS FIELD
AGREEMENT AMONG THE 00Z MODEL SOLUTIONS...THE 00Z ECMWF WAS MORE
CONSISTENT WITH ITS PREVIOUS SOLUTIONS THAN THE GFS...SO THE WPC
QPF WAS BASED LARGELY ON THIS SOLUTION.

DAY 2...
MOISTURE AND ELEVATED INSTABILITY AHEAD OF A FRONTAL BOUNDARY
EXTENDING FROM THE SOUTHERN PLAINS ACROSS THE LOWER AND MID MS
VALLEY ON DAY 2 SHOULD FEED AN AREA OF HEAVY RAIN WITH EMBEDDED
LOW TOPPED CONVECTION. MODEL SOUNDINGS SHOWED THAT SURFACE BASED
INSTABILITY IS MINIMAL AT BEST. HOWEVER...ISENTROPIC LIFT UP AND
OVER THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY ACROSS NORTHEAST TS...FAR SOUTHEAST OK
INTO MUCH OF AR SHOULD MAKE THE MOST OF THE 1.50 TO 1.75 INCH
PRECIPITABLE WATER AIR (WHICH IS ABOUT THREE STANDARD DEVIATIONS
ABOVE THE MEAN) TO PRODUCE A SWATH OF HEAVY RAIN EXTENDING FROM
WEST TX...ACROSS NORTHEAST TX INTO AR AND FAR WESTERN KY/WESTERN
TN. THE HEAVIEST QPF WAS STRETCHED FROM NORTHEAST TX INTO WEST
CENTRAL AR...WHERE 2.75 TO 3.25 INCHES OF QPF WAS PLACED. THESE
AMOUNTS ARE SUPPORTED BY A FEW MEMBERS OF THE 00Z MODEL GUIDANCE
(INCLUDING THE 00Z ECMWF/GFS)...AS WELL AS MEMBERS OF BOTH THE 00Z
GEFS AND THE LATEST ECMWF ENSEMBLE OUTPUT.

LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS ARE POSSIBLE...AS THE 850-400 MB FLOW
BECOMES BETTER ALIGNED WITH THE CORFIDI VECTORS AHEAD OF THE FRONT
ACROSS THE ABOVEMENTIONED AREA. WHILE THREE HOUR FLASH FLOOD
GUIDANCE VALUES START BETWEEN 2.00 AND 3.00 INCHES...HEAVY
RAINFALL ON DAY 1 SHOULD LOWER THESE VALUES...SO THAT THE THREAT
FOR FLASH FLOODING INCREASES HERE. BECAUSE OF THIS...A MODERATE
RISK AREA WAS PLACED ACROSS A SMALL PART OF NORTHEAST TX/SOUTHEAST
OK...AND A LARGER AREA OF WEST CENTRAL AR. THE MODERATE RISK AREA
WAS SURROUNDED BY A SLIGHT RISK AREA EXTENDING FROM WEST TX INTO
THE REMAINDER OF AR...FAR SOUTHEAST MO INTO WESTERN TN/KY.

FURTHER EAST...THE ISENTROPIC LIFT BECOMES FOCUSED AHEAD OF AND
OVER THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY ACROSS THE OH VALLEY INTO THE NORTHERN
MID ATLANTIC STATES. MODEL SOUNDINGS SHOWED SOME ELEVATED
INSTABILITY HERE...WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES TOPPING OUT NEAR
1.25 INCHES (WHICH IS ABOUT TWO STANDARD DEVIATIONS ABOVE THE
MEAN). THE SYNOPTIC SCALE LIFT AND DEEPENING MOISTURE COULD
SUPPORT A LONG AXIS OF 0.25 TO 0.50 INCHES OF QPF STRETCHING FROM
SOUTHERN OH/SOUTHERN PA/NORTHERN WV ACROSS MUCH OF NJ.

DAY 3...
WHILE THE SURFACE BOUNDARY DROPS INTO THE LOWER MS VALLEY/THROUGH
THE TN VALLEY INTO THE SOUTHERN MID ATLANTIC DURING DAY
3...ISENTROPIC LIFT OVER THE SURFACE BOUNDARY UP ACROSS AN
ELEVATED BOUNDARY BACK ACROSS THE MID MS VALLEY/TN VALLEYS WILL
TAP DEEP MOISTURE TO CONTINUE TO HEAVY RAIN/EXCESSIVE RAINFALL
THREAT. ONCE AGAIN...SURFACE BASED INSTABILITY IS LACKING...BUT
MODEL SOUNDINGS SHOWED INSTABILITY ALONG THE ISENTROPIC SURFACE.
PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES BETWEEN 1.50 AND 1.75 INCHES WILL FEED
THE ELEVATED CONVECTION...ACROSS THE TN AND LOWER OH
VALLEYS...WHERE AN AXIS QPF 1.75 TO 2.25 INCHES OF QPF WAS PLACED
(MAINLY OVER TN INTO SOUTHERN KY).

THREE HOUR FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE VALUES IN THIS AREA GENERALLY
RANGE BETWEEN 2.00 AND 3.00 INCHES. THERE IS SOME POTENTIAL FOR
TRAINING OF HEAVY RAIN ELEMENTS...AS THE 850-400 MB FLOW BECOMES
BETTER ALIGNED WITH THE CORFIDI VECTORS. THE 00Z GFS SHOWED A
MAXIMUM QPF OVER 2.75 INCHES OVER WESTERN TN...WHILE THE 00Z UKMET
SHOWED A MAXIMUM CLOSER TO 3.00 INCHES ACROSS SOUTHERN TN. GIVEN
SOME SPREAD IN THE 00Z MODEL OUTPUT...HIGH MOISTURE CONTENT
AIRMASS IN PLACE...AND THE POTENTIAL FOR TRAINING...A SLIGHT RISK
AREA WAS PLACED OVER MUCH OF TN....AS WELL AS SOUTHERN KY.
