Cold Rain Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 So far this season, I like the fact that we're getting strong high pressures dropping into the US and moving into the damming regions. Those have been conspicuously absent much of the last couple of years. So, we've started off on the right foot there. Now, as NCSNOW said, we need more shortwaves. And as Shetley would quickly point out, those have largely been conspicuously absent THIS season. I'm supposing this is a La Niña effect. If we can remain in this pattern of at or below normal in the face of hostile teleconnections, I will almost consider that a win. Hopefully, we'll be able sneak our way into something. And good work, Jon! I like what you did with week 4 there. Having the heart of the cold just to the west indicates to me that the storm track might not be so suppressed that we end up very cold and sunny.

That's his point, hope I have it right. As long as mjo stays inside the circle where good to go. He says the left side of the circle is gold but bottom line is as long as we stay inside no matter where SE avg normal to BN. I have alot more faith in Larry and his research than Cohen SAI index when trying to look into the LR and study indicies, tcs etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he was and the mjo forecast it spat out last night showed it staying inside the circle and possibly heading more toward the left side. Mac you need to get webber and larry to explain how all this affects wave patterns downstream, very deep. But webber imo is ahead of his time. Weather , atmosphere is one big working piece, with multiple parts in motion continuously feeding back n forth off each other causing the net results we expierence in our micro climates. It's never constant and always guranteed to change. What makes it such a challenge to try and predict. Funny thing is as chaotic as it appears at times its really masterfully created to provide the balance required to sustain life her on earth. Man that was deep.

While it's in the CoD, it's too close for comfort on the right side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelJ Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Fact of the matter is that we all should take anything past 5 days with a ton of salt (not the highway laying down kind either) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone here knows how model-watching works. We know it's not set in stone. If you want to be perfectly technical, you should take anything beyond what it's doing outside at exactly this moment with a "ton/grain" of salt, because no one, computer or person, knows *exactly* what it's going to do even one second from now. All we have is "guidance." That's what models are. No certainty. First it was "take anything past 10 days with a 'grain' of salt." Now it's down to "take anything past 5 days with a 'ton' of salt." So that's basically saying we're using a lot more salt for half the original time (10 days), so technically we're more uncertain at day 5 instead of 10...wut? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better we have this happening in December. 12z Euro like Met said above is throwing us a bone or two after Christmas. 12z GFS storm Day 10 isn't a bad look either with very cold 850s wrapping around the low. Interesting. I highly doubt the ensembles have the end of the year figured out. Not sure if my images are posting, I'm on mobile. Any case I'll post again - sorry if this post also double posts, having trouble with that while editing in tapatalk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe slight? Maybe other players on the field? Have not gone back to look. But other than '11 given these extreme AO's, there's still hope I guess.

Sorry didn't mean torch in true sense. Just warmer than desired. I call everything above 50 a torch. In full sun 50 does feel like a torch at least to me. I was hoping for 30 with snow showers on Xmas. Wishcast I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
