griteater Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 UKMet is a no-go this run...it doesn't amplify the wave over the southern plains...no storm over the SE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packfan98 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 The 6z GEFS wanted no part of bringing in the colder air for Christmas. Stayed above normal in the SE through the end of the run. Doesn't match earlier runs. Let's see what happens in subsequent runs today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just stronger more east outcome. Below is this mornings 6z NAM at h5. Southwest low further east and not closed or retrograding. More northern stream energy of course... Timing issues but hey at least there is storm potential next weekend too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGAWx Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Bastardi: When a model does not make sense with itself, one must question, Off the charts neg EPO a very cold signal as per correlations.So model forecasting warm against its pattern a problem.Euro, Canadian see cold plains east Dec 20 on. US models 11-16 too warm east and south IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It humors me how it swings folks moods through the course of a day model watching. Not you, cause alot of us watch it 4X's per day because its free and continously updating. I miss the old gfs, it would atleast throw out clown maps for entertainment in the LR. This new/updated one couldnt even muster one up 48 hours from an actual bonified solid hit lol.

SnowNiner Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 GEFS on it's own with that look. Canandian Ensembles and Euro Ensembles still carry the status quo into the holidays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKY_WX Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 The timeframe around the 15th is kinda interesting given the setup over NA (+PNA/-NAO/large UL over Maine). Even though the setup is good, it obviously doesn't guarantee anything, but I wouldn't be surprised if that clipper system or anything coming out of the PJ(Canada) amplifies more than the models are currently showing. After that, it looks to be until the Christmas timeframe before the pattern becomes favorable again for anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the AK ridge. That still shows nearly a full northern hemisphere ridge. Slight weakness near Green land. OK. The first great ? Is why the second greatest anomaly over eastern Canada. 2 ? Is why the first great anomaly near Hawaii?. It's not happening. Nothing on this map proves a torch or extended SE death ridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's where the negativity and bitterness comes from, living in the wrong place to enjoy those things. And when all you hear is how great the pattern is and how cold, and Christmas is finally not going to torch, like the last 3, yadda, yadda, now I'm looking at mid 60s all next week and the brutal cold Christmas, is now looking above normal!

FallsLake Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Hey Mack, As far as I'm concerned you keep doing your thing. I think your statements are humorous, informative about a pattern scenario, you don't attack folks, and it lightens up the mood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FallsLake Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Indices: AO - Looks to go positive in the LR **big spread, about a quarter do go negative NAO - Looks to stay positive of maybe neutral in the LR **average of the LR spread would be ~neutral PNA - Looks to stay positive into the LR **Only good news, days earlier it was showing negative Basically it's looking like the pattern setup we've become accustomed to over the last few years. http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/precip/CWlink/daily_ao_index/teleconnections.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packbacker Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Going to be interesting where we are temp departure wise after the 20th...we are solidly AN now through the first 10 days of Dec. The next 6-7 days look to be BN but then days 7-11 look to be solidly AN. So much for the slam dunk of December being BN....

Pack and Mack like to go with the warmest model. I get it. I like to go with the model showing the least snow. Why? Usually warmth and less snow win out. So, you sort of keep your hopes in check by maintaining a level of skepticism and apathy. It's sort of like being a State fan. Always expect to lose and your apathy will usually be rewarded. However, the caveat is, it only works until it doesn't. When the worm turns, you are pleasantly surprised. Until then, you find comfort in the fact that your cynicism was correct. It's a sick and twisted psychology! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we are much more variable with even a lean toward colder conditions at times. I think there will be several worthwhile events to track, and I think we see some periods of legit blocking at times. I anticipate a much more fun winter than what we have seen of late. @NC_hailstorm Hook us up with a solar update when you have a second, please sir! Need to know how we're tracking with that.
