Brings 30s all the way down to Pennsylvania and W Virginia by the 20th and 50s all the way to gulf coast by 21st. SE ridge quickly back in place by 23rd though. Plan on SE ridge flexing it’s muscle, 97% of the time, the next 6 months! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RT1980 Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 I would like some more well versed insight on this as I’m still a rookie but my last look the models showed a +PNA and a -AO. Towards the 20th through September. Wouldn’t that lax the heat on us ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NC_hailstorm Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 The QBO has been positive for 10 straight months with the last reading at 9.97 for August,peaking in May at 14.59 so trending down.Interesting to see if it can flip to negative before winter which would be good. Euro going colder west/warmer east for now for DJF. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FallsLake Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 for many of us Fall will start tonight (weather wise): .SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/... As of 128 AM Tuesday... The post-frontal stratocumulus/stratus should be mostly confined to the Piedmont Wednesday morning, then skies are expected to become partly to mostly sunny in all areas in the afternoon. A refreshing NE breeze will advect in much drier and cooler air. Expect highs only in the 70s, except a few lower 80s near the NC/SC border area. Then, mainly clear and cool Wednesday night. The most comfortable night in recent memory. Lows in the 50s, with some upper 40s north- central Piedmont. && Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NC_hailstorm Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 I would also watch the the gulf stream very closely and the AMOC(Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation)This has been a hotspot to watch from about Cape Hatteras to Cape Cod maybe a bit further into Canada. Solar minimum weakens the circulation,moving it further south in my opinion.2009-10 is a prime example to what to look for and QBO flipped to negative halfway through that year.Cut off the gulf stream and you most likely get colder. http://www.ccpo.odu.edu/~tezer/PAPERS/2015_GPC_AMOC_SL.pdf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will the upstate finally cash in on any of the fun those around us have been enjoying? Will it be record warmth wall to wall? Will Dec bring a third consecutive early season snow? (nah) Will Feb usher in a third straight "can't believe this is happening again early spring" Feb? (Probably) Will Columbia break it's snow drought?

magpiemaniac Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Accuweather’s 2019-2020 winter “forecast” for the southeast US: Quote While the Northeast braces for snow and cold, the Southeast is more likely to experience a wet couple of months. Water temperatures from the Gulf of Mexico to the Southeast and mid-Atlantic coasts are running higher than normal, Pastelok said. As storms move into the east early on in the season, the warm water could generate a significant amount of rain. However, it’s not out of the question that the region could experience a winter storm, similar to last season, which brings snow or ice to areas like Winston-Salem, Charlotte or Asheville. We’ll see I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjames1992 Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Accuweather predicts a snowy winter for the Northeast. Shocking! But a winter storm "could" hit some N/W areas of the Southeast. No, at least one wintry event of some sort is basically guaranteed in these parts (even if it's small), so it's not much of a "could", IMO.

And as long as you have 4wd the snow isnt any problem up here. We have road maintenance staff that do a great job plowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year was a torching winter, but this area and yours still ended up well above normal snowfall because of one big snowstorm. It just takes one. Likewise, we can have a cold winter and get unlucky and end up not getting much snow, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The upper midwest/ northern rockies have been consistently below normal, with the rest of the country being above for the past couple of years now. Not only is this forecast not anything ground breaking, it doesn't seem like it would have taken too much thought or forecasting talent. "Hey, how are we going to draw our map this year?" "Let's just go with what's been happening over the past couple of years and call it a day." 60 seconds later: "Here you go boss." And my guess is this will be spot on.

I don't know about that map..... You can't have a ridge in the west as the predominant pattern and have a warm east coast all winter. It just doesn't work like that..... Someone will have a below average winter. My call this winter, for NC, is for a normal winter when everything is averaged out at the end of the season. That will feel real nice compared to what we have had to deal with the last several winters. The ski resorts should have a decent winter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
