But yea, the entire NH sucks other than that little straw grasping tidbit. Closest we get to anything decent in the NA over the next 15 days is this period, and that is more of a Scandinavian ridge, not a -NAO. It's a better look than we have now though. It would likely give us normal to maybe slightly below temps, and that would probably continue into Thanksgiving at least. Looks dry too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All subject to change at this range, but for now the GEFS, and the GEPS, are suggesting we may actually see seasonable temps the week of thanksgiving. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Pac though... ugh. I think the hints are piling up that this year will be in the really bad pac setup Nina category. If so our only hope to get any snow will be a period of blocking. Doesn’t have to be a predominant winter feature. 2000 was a positive NAO winter but we had 2 weeks of blocking and cashed in! A few years in the similar set Im looking at we got some blocking late and a little snow in March to avoid a total shutout. But in the moderate/strong Nina with a flat pac ridge analog set I see absolutely no snow without blocking. Not a single fluke storm. So I know this isn’t where we want to be...but if we don’t get any blocking we’re in BIG trouble imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psuhoffman Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 I am not throwing in the towel yet...maybe the pac is throwing false signals (unlikely) or maybe we get some blocking (past results don’t always predict future outcomes). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Brief cold air shot next week is gaining some oomph over the last day or two of runs. Verbatim 12z gfs says should be enough for freezes everywhere except probably DCA. Highs in the 40s as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like our best friend Mr. Wind could be playing along too lol... from morning AFD from LWX about next week Next low pressure system associated with longwave trof across the upper Great Lks early next week is deeper and moves faster into Quebec by 12Z Mon. Modest moisture will increase ahead of cdfnt Sun with showers likely in western areas Sunday and possibly spreading east of the mtns Sun night. Any amounts are expected to be very light. Strong cold front then sweeps through the area late Sun night or early Monday with blustery conditions developing. Brisk conditions will persist through the middle of next week before temps begin to moderate during the second half of next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbmclean Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 3 hours ago, Weather Will said: We’ll see if the teleconnections signaling a colder period starting later next week through Thanksgiving holds...EURO 12Z. For the PNA to trend back towards 0 would be a big win. The NAO/AO are interesting. In both cases the control looks very promising towards the end of the month, but you can see that in both cases the ensemble means are in + territory. That tells me that there is a minority of members that are predicting solid negative departures, but the majority of the members are positive. Does anyone know what the meaning of the thicker blue bar in the middle of the spread lines. Is that like the 25 - 75th percentile? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
