Well this looks awful . Not unexpected ,, but hopefully incorrect.

@MJVentrice: Looking into early December, holy +NAO/+AO/+EPO. Supports extremely warm start to December o/ N. America and Europe. https://t.co/lZkuikuTiq

Cfs lol, its shown the same every week for 6 months, why any respected Met refers to that garbage is beyond me, wait a day it will change, go back and look at what it had for turkey day week, ya know the week he said would be in the 70's

The fact that this week went from massive 588 heights and 70+ to 40's on Tu and Wed on modeling does lend pause to any long term stuff

There is a volatility factor with such huge temp contrasts existing across the globe. Should be fun, whether we end up on the good or bad side , going to be exciting times.

you are so cyrptic sometimes I thought you were talking about sensible weather

 

You, yourself said we are going to revert back. My point is that ENSO is driving the bus and you can throw in a strong PV up in the upper troposphere and stratosphere. I'm not sold on this being more than a temporary change in the pattern...but maybe I am wrong. I didn't think what I said was cryptic.

December is pretty warm on all models.

 

Haha, nice.   I love this version of Scott - rampaging contrarian ...

 

If he could be clad in white and black brandishing a whacking ruler, ready to thump knuckles while yelling "No" at the instant the bun attempts to concoct an aromatic vision out of the garbled data-turds we're really left with, ...he'd do it.  

 

Can't say I blame 'im.   I, too, roll eyes at more than half the content I entertain myself with when swingin' by this site over an hour to kill.  It's a loathsome Saturday morning, mocked by the sounds of proverbial jet turbines in a pattern that's promising nothing..

 

Did anyone ever ask if the winds ever lied?   Today is resounding, whizzing, whirling, white-noise frenzies yes. In one to two minute bursts, the bluster out of doors is enough to rival a Donald Trump melt-down; yet, neither has a clue or a hope of actually substantiating any of their insinuation.  

 

Yesterday, I charged the models with the onus to verify something in the late middle range/extended; namely, as it pertains to these [at last] colder signals out there in time.   We are in a push-back pattern; though not so obvious, but tending to do so a little. It's when you're always lubed up and gin happy for the extended range of sloping teleconnectors and operations visions of grandeur, but never get there.  How long does it take to wake up and realize all those hopes and dreams for a better future are a process in deception. Weird, almost to the point of creepy how the models seem to sync up with everything else in your life that has nothing to do with the weather.  Haha.

 

Ah, we'll see.  I could see Ventrice being proven brilliant as much as a synoptic flop for that idea.  

 

Firstly, I don't see where he is getting a demonstrative signal for the polarward indices.  The AO has every member fragmented ranging from barely positive SD, to +3 in range.  One could argue that's a huge signal, but they don't know how to consume the data when it is delivered the way the CPC has it.  The individual members being in larger spread, for those that have multiple decades of experience using them, can just as often herald a major shift one way or the other.  Moreover, the sub-polar fields of the EPO and NAO have been wobbling up and down, positive to negative over the last four days, indicating a split in the field and some potential for blocking nodes to pop off in the 60th parallel.  The operational runs showing a cooling continental domain in general is not a horrible fit for that... 

 

Secondly, it's been warm, so the persistence requires the onus mentioned above; so Stockholm Syndrome requires a cynical resting state regarding any projection into the end of the month's pattern.  That tends to deconstruct any hope the previous paragraph, however analytic and logically sound.  However rational that is proven not to be, sometimes those tingly sensations in your backside are just your unconscious soul realizing that the space-time continuum just has it in for your ass and wants do horrible things to it... I bet if science et al tried hard enough, they could discover a General Theory of Relative butt-bangin'...

I think we revert to warm again in Dec but I don't trust modeling that torches all of Dec. I disagree about Enso being the bus driver, there are many players . I am only talking about our neck of the woods.

Siberia might have a say in that strong PV

I don't see how it isn't a long term driver when it's in uncharted territory.

It gets attacked every winter. That doesn't mean squat to me right now unless we see stronger bombardment and more of a split or displacement.  I also would entertain the idea of December as being less of a warm signal...at least to start. 

The elongation of the PV and attack happens and it can reload, however the influence of Siberian highs might be a bus driver too. Quite the battle zone setting up.

Yes, the pattern has been a bit more favorable for that. However, I think we need to continue to see more disruption as I am not sold on this breaking up so soon.

Last November we bootlegged our way to below normal....kind of like this upcoming week.

 

If you mean this conceptually only ... as in 'correct-able' then I agree.  I think the last two weeks of the month will offset, perhaps considerably.  

 

But I'd like to see this month end up negative at places like the well mixed, 1,000 foot elevation Worcester climo site.  Looking at the daily numbers over these past 13 days of the month are pretty shockingly positive. It's going (obviously) to take equal extremeness in negative departures just to make 0.00; while the pattern ahead is clearly one offering cooler incursions/changing the nature of mass transport over all, I'd be surprised if it offered that degree of compensation.  

 

We'll see... but here on ORH numbers lifted right off of KTANs climo interface: ...the 5th column from the left are the Departures.

agree totally just nice to see it happen, something that did not occur in Nov 11

 

I am not a big fan of long term strat forecasting because it's usually not very good. However, I think there are some signs that it is getting a little distorted. But we have seen it do that, only to come back and consolidate.

There is a subtle warming in the stratospheric hPa 50 depth over Siberia, days 7 through 10 on the GEFs mean. That's new... Could mean that some tendency for -EPO is out there ...way, way, way-way, out there...  

 

This type of warming is different than an SSW.  Typically across the 35 years data set, SSW's don't occur until mid Dec at the earliest; most post Jan 1. Then they take two weeks to 20 days to downwell toward the tropopause, and that is the lag on -AO response.  That's all a different phenomenon than what is described above.  

 

Further above might mean just generalized limiting of the stratospheric, PV depth by statically stabling thermodynamics - a bifurcation in the PV (split) would begin as warped/oblongation of the annular structure over the pole, ... think "kidney beaning", and it would have temperature signature of warming over one half of the domain space at very high altitudes. 

 

It's just hinted for the time being tho. It's going to take some time to cook, and this may only merely sniff changes actually not kicking in until xmass or beyond. Sometimes the GEFs mean, like them all, "rush" in large scale systemic changes once their physics are detectable at all.  ..We all know that, just sayin'

 

I have been monitoring this over the last month though and this is the first I have seen this (for now) weakly emergent signal:
