It has also trended much warmer too, which is a very nice change. We don't need really cold weather until January. Try telling everyone in Lumberton and Fayetteville that it's dry there after what we in the coastal plain dealt with after Matthew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met1985 Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Looks like the models are going away from the blocking earlier shown. The NAO even looks to go positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant that the 6z GFS was mostly dry southeast of that line. It is probably starting to get a little dry in eastern NC by now though, even after Hermine and Matthew since it hasn't rained in over a month there.

We've gotten a few decent showers the last two weeks. Got a good amount yesterday and the night before. But I get what you're saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowless in Carrollton Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 I'm having flashbacks to the 98-99 winter, which was very warm. Wasn't that also a La Nina winter that followed an El Nino ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packbacker Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Unless things dramatically change this won't be 99 or 12. Though I will give you the models haven't been great day 10+. Below is about the worst pac ridge position for cold, we don't have that being modeled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Euro jumps off the ridge in the west and introduces a deep trough instead. PNA goes negative , AO is all over the place, and the NAO will be no help. Again lets just get some rain then work on the cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BristowWx Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Christmas forecast: unseasonably warm along the east coast. Warm with increasingly warm warmth. Warm with highs 50s way north, 60s, middle, 70s south. Rinse repeat as needed. I'm telling you delayed is denied. We should be seeing effects of pattern change by now. trough west ridge east. Book it and don't believe the the hype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BristowWx Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 I'm not. Just kidding around. Sort of. But nothing seems to work as planned. Thanksgiving week was supposed to be the beginning of the pattern change. I could hit 70 up here in DC metro next week. It will get cold I imagine in a fleeting nature. Doesn't it always. But locked cold. No way my friend. My experience is look at Thanksgiving and extrapolate. We shall see and to be proven wrong is totally fine with me.

Thanksgiving featured record warmth in Atlanta, so I guess we can expect a record warm winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jshetley Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 A December like last year would suit me fine. Any winter weather in the SE before Jan 1 is hard to come by, so December may as well be warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh, we don't want locked cold in December anyway. It doesn't snow in Dec down here...maybe in NVa, but it's rare in Central NC. I want locked cold in mid-Jan.

I just don't want to see some horror pattern setup in early Dec that would take a long time to get out of. So far we aren't seeing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the last two below normal Decembers in Chapel Hill (2009 and 2010) saw frozen precip, so it's not that hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWNC2015 Posted November 25, 2016 Author Share Posted November 25, 2016 I like the period from December 9th onward for about a week or so to see a lower elevation winter weather event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BristowWx Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 There is nothing in the foreseeable future to bring the cold south. I think December 2106 will be remembered for its warmth. All of the guidance that showed favorable blocking has evaporated. Again we shall see but if it was trending cold it would be cold right now. It s nearly 60 here near D.C. Same tomorrow maybe 5F less. Long range forecasts said we should be looking at winter right now. Then next week warm again, rinse repeat. Who ever is saying cold December is a snake oil salesman.
