Last night's euro says what first half torch?

 

We already torched first half of month.  We are pretty mild until sometime on Thanksgiving week, but even then, we may be supportive of lake cutters. However as mentioned before, the first step for now is getting colder air into Canada. If we continue to form a better PNA/EPO..then eventually it will move SE. The problem I see, is that I am not sure that is sustainable as December perhaps goes back to more hostile. We shall see.

The consensus for a mild start has been everywhere. But I'm pleasantly surprised at the direction the ensembles are moving in. We could start December with at least a semblance of seasonality.

I agree. We may be able to hopefully benefit from some cold seeping SE.  I'm not holding my breathe though with this lasting through December.

You think the GOA hellbent for leather pattern comes back?

Well I don't know. It may be more of lower heights in the Bering Sea and AK.  Part of me feels the weeklies aren't totally jiving with ensembles and not sure I buy a quick return to a lousy pattern as they indicate.

Someone said Canada will be flushed of all cold again by Dec 3. You buy that?

Kind of a WAG, not sure that quick, but perhaps the idea is there. I think the term flushed out of Canada is a bit ambiguous. We can get by with a few bucks in the bank up there. What you don't want is an all out furnace where a 1045 high is delivering temps barely capable of supporting snow like we saw last December.

I see a window, too.

Doubt we see wall-to-wall ennui, like last year...we'll have a window of opportunity.

I mentioned in my outlook that there maybe one significant Dec event.

Likely transient in nature with deep interior and hills favored.

This is an interesting hybrid pattern. STJ and SW trough say Nino. Cold plunging into Plains and SE ridge, say Nina. Of course within any long term ENSO event you can always get temporary shifts in the pattern...but kind of interesting.

I don't necessarily hate that look for our area if that is how early December comes in. We tend to do better in December when we have more gradient structure to the height field and it looks like central and even eventually eastern Canada could get decent cold.

It could all end up for naught though since we're still taking about clown range. But in this hypothetical scenario, I'd be more bullish on our shot for an early December event than typical El Niño climo.

Yeah I agree. It's good to have the cold up in Canada which to me is important. At the very least..if you extrapolate the pattern out a bit, you could probably have a window for late month or early December. In this case although it's clown range...extrapolation is using an educated guess based on how things flow in meteorology...so perhaps not so much a wild assumption.

Maybe we can luck out and get back to back White T-days....

 

But there's so many ways this pattern could revert to crap late month...that AK ridge doesn't go up north very far, so if it just ends up even flatter than the EC ensembles show, it would be warmer. The models keep screwing around with the idea of a -NAO, but everytime we've gotten closer, it ends up really transient or simply never even achieves negative status.

Yep, who knows. At least I haven't seen any concerning changes over the last few days on the ensembles as we have gotten closer. For now it's more of a cold dump into the Plains. You figure one of these storms shoves it east to hopefully set the stage for something, even if it's an interior mixed precip deal.
