I think you leave the banter thread for forecasting patterns etc all winter and only pull up individual threads out for threats .

Lot of ideas are already in the for Jan I think you lose the continuity.

Leave the banter thread for garbage. Too many good posts getting burried. Pattern and obs in here. Specific storm threat threads eventually.

You're welcome to move some of your posts in here.

Yeah i agree as well, the banter thread is unfortunately a necessity...leave the typical bs'ing, whining, imby questions/thoughts etc in there. Have a monthly obs/discussion thread that contain actual meteorological posts, and when threats get far enough in, specific threat threads.

what's your point? that 5 day pattern is a dead ringer for feb 98. if you knew it looked bad you would have said, "this is a bad pattern but it's only 5 days" in your original post.

 

 

Sure it is a 5 day break inside 30 days . ( ALA feb 19 -22 Feb 15  ) Why would you compare a 5 day mean to a 1 month analog  .

What does week 2- 3 -5 and 6 look like ?  2015 ? 1978 ? 2010 ? 

Are those 4 weeks  not right smack in the middle of a strong NINO 

Imagine if we posted that ...

 

So whats your point  are 4 out those 5 weeks are NOT showing you a great pattern ?

The pattern truly does not look like anything to write home about next 4 weeks. Sure it's better than December, of course, let's get real December was +13. But it still looks subpar as far as winter patterns go and we are into the heart of winter.

How is this a subpar winter pattern?

gfs-ens_z500a_nhem_59.pnggem-ens_z500a_nhem_59.png That's a -AO/EPO/NAO, +PNA pattern. The pattern relaxes until about the 8th, but after that it's one of the best winter storm patterns for the east since 2009/2010 and 2010/2011.

Not sure what you're looking at. The ensembles show the AO tanking after the first week of January. Whether it's s transient change remains to be seen but for you to say the pattern doesn't look good at all the next month is just bad analysis.

Agree. The pattern looks great mid month onward. I think some people in here are trolling. -AO and +Pna looks like a lock. Lets hope the nao follows. Seems like every met on the social media sites are really gungho on the pattern going forward ( HM,Mike ventrice and others.)

CPC doesn't give anyone here a good pattern   

 

just sayin

Right, the brown color is super hot which is bad and we want the blue color which is super cold. Also, the white color means no precipitation and the green means it's raining.

 

But what do the numbers mean?

(%) percentages just a wee bit higher at  55-60 % inside that contour --for example on the temp guidance
