AfewUniversesBelowNormal Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 A brief burst of -PNA then the pattern goes back to favorable at Day 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if some are rushing it though. The storms in the 8-14 day will likely get forced under us and you never know but it's also possible there won't be enough cold to work with yet as the pattern gets established. Not saying they can't work but I won't be upset if we have to wait. Climo gets less and less hostile every day also. But the best window might be after what were seeing now as such a pattern pulses and relaxes or ultimately breaks down. (Before the reload of course). Won't stop Ji from cancelling winter anyways. I checked out the ind member solutions. Vast majority of the d10+ storms are rain. Decent track on many but lack cold enough air. I'm not expecting much else this month either. We're still fighting climo pretty hard until we move into Dec. If the pattern holds through the first half of Dec I'd be surprised if we didn't book another event though. Unquestionably the best pattern leading into Dec since 2010. Thankfully it's not a Nina this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're right actually. I wouldn't expect a real legit chance until around the 1st and likely beyond. That said, here we are today...

Wasn’t it just about 10 days ago that the prevailing theory was that we would be in a Ridge/warm period by now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both for the winter and for the immediate look heading towards the start of winter we couldn't ask for anything more. I kind of keep waiting for "the other shoe to drop" but everything keeps coming up aces in how things are evolving. If things still look like this in a week and it becomes apparent we will head into December looking like this it might be time to just accept this is likely going to be a big year! I'm right on the ledge about ready to dive in. Hahahaha! I think you just made the plot for a children's movie about the weather...lol This is going on my "quotes of the late fall/winter" list...

U and me both. I absolutely can't stand having to extrapolate ensemble guidance D15+ hoping the shutout pattern will go away. Hoping we get at least 3 warning level events this year.

clskinsfan Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Pretty nice to have the EPS and GEFS looking very similar to each other in the mid range. I dont know if those temps are gonna do it in early to mid December. But we will definitely have some tracking to do over the next month. Sure beats the past couple of winters where we really had nothing to even talk about for weeks on end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol (now I too am a bit spoiled by this event...I'm not sure I wanna see 3 r/s screw jobs in a row. I can give it pass for November. But of course, I know...December climo!). What do we need to punch past that climo if a storm opportunity(s) does arise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psuhoffman Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 The first week of December is definitely becoming a possible threat window. If he h5 look being advertised by ALL guidance is even close then we have a legit shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course that does not necessarily mean an all snow event. Despite less than ideal climo for the cities and east though, the chances increase if that NA look verifies because we can get a favorable storm track with a good enough cold air source.

I was just going to ask a question about what exactly we need to beat the climo in early December to get snow to work even in the corridor, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For my yard, where a mostly/all snow event can only happen when a low tracks underneath and coastals form/track slightly offshore, the importance of -NAO cannot be overstated.

If I had to wag, I’d guess the 2nd storm in that week (if there are even 2) would be our better shot just for the fact of getting cold air in place. Normal highs in early December are still near 50 in DC and low 40s for you, so we still need a pretty anomalous airmass to get all or mostly snow. Need a fresh polar airmass.

psuhoffman Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 6 minutes ago, C.A.P.E. said: This is looking pretty far out, so take it fwiw. The latest runs of the GEPS and CFS weeklies lose the -NAO by mid December. Both look like they trend to a neutral AO/NAO, but the PAC continues to look excellent. Not unexpected if this were to verify, and yesterday's run of the EPS weekies holds onto the HL blocking through December, although the previous run did not. It wouldn't surprise me if a relax happens. And of the AO wants to cycle between strongly negative and neutral that's a win. We aren't going to run the table with a -4 AO now to march anyways. Plus a great Pacific combined with a neutral AO/NAO can work just fine also. It's not a hecs pattern but it can produce snow. But...I'm also not that invested in what the day 20 guidance shows right now. The weeklies and CFS totally missed the November cold now. They totally missed what looks like a cold start to December. And in 2013/14 all winter we were worried about the awful long range looks that never came. And how many times in a crap year when things sucked we were waiting on some great look day 20 that never materialized. So while it's important to note the trends on guidance and discuss the possible relaxation of the pattern I'll worry more about day 20 when days 1-19 suck lol.

And FYI, I moved that post to the winter thread, since it was in reference to the possible pattern heading into mid December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
