donsutherland1 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Tomorrow should be somewhat milder. Readings will rebound into the upper 50s and lower 60s for Thanksgiving Day as a storm passes to the north and west of the region. December could see above normal temperatures redevelop during or after the first week of the month after starting off on a cool note. The possible development of a period where the AO is negative and PNA is positive could delay the warmup. Statistical guidance based on the ENSO state and teleconnections would typically favor a colder regime for the first half of December, but this is no typical La Niña pattern. Both historic experience following exceptionally warm November cases and the latest weekly and monthly guidance still suggest a warmer than normal December is the base case even if the first half of the month winds up near normal or even somewhat cooler than normal. Almost 90% of cases with a November mean temperature of 51.5° or above in Central Park went on to record a warmer than normal December and just over three-quarters of such cases saw December register a monthly mean temperature of 40.0° or above. The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was -0.7°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was -1.5°C for the week centered around November 18. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged -0.90°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged -1.42°C. La Niña conditions will likely prevail at least through the winter. The SOI was +2.92. Today, the preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) figure was +1.345. On November 23 the MJO was in Phase 3 at an amplitude of 0.765 (RMM). The November 22-adjusted amplitude was 0.962. Based on the latest guidance, no significant stratospheric warming event is likely through the end of November. Since 1950, there have been five cases where a La Niña developed during June-July-August or afterward following an El Niño winter. 4/5 (80%) of those cases saw a predominant EPO+/AO+ winter pattern. The most recent such case was 2016-17. 10/11 (91%) of the La Niña winters that followed an El Niño winter featured a predominantly positive EPO. A predominant EPO+/AO+ pattern is very likely for winter 2020-21. It is likely that the Middle Atlantic and southern New England areas will see a warmer than normal winter with below normal snowfall. Since 1950, there have been four La Niña winters that started with a warm December in the Northeast and warmth across much of Canada, as is the current forecast on the monthly EPS, latest weekly EPS and latest CFSv2 monthly guidance: 1974-75, 1998-99, 1999-00, and 2011-12. All featured a warmer than normal winter and among the winter months that followed December, only January 2000 was colder than normal in the East. Median seasonal snowfall figures were as follows: New York City: 12.9" and Philadelphia: 13.1". Since 1970, there were 9 winters that saw the AO and EPO average +0.25 or above. Mean snowfall for Boston, Harrisburg, New York City, Philadelphia, and Washington, DC averaged 50% of the most recent 30-season mean. The largest snowfall deficits relative to the most recent 30-season mean figure were located in the Philadelphia to New York City corridor. In addition, 33% of cases saw less than 10" seasonal snowfall in New York City and 44% saw less than 10" seasonal snowfall in Philadelphia. Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied near 100% probability that New York City will have a warmer than normal November. November will likely finish with a mean temperature near 51.9°. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdrag Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 If this were summer? We'd wonder why modeling is so conservative on a band of snow and ice pellet showers racing (45 MPH?) eastward across N Central PA. As it stands...the 18z EC is trying... and may allow a sprinkle here and there in NYC metro between 2A-430A? We'll be sleeping and not notice if it does make it. If it was summer, it might be a band of thunderstorms. Hopefully the HRRR, which is supposed to be good at picking up convection, would have this. Right now, I think it's lagging. I see mPing just picked up on ice pellets at State College. Miniscule minor Fgen/WAA mainly 800-600MB. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donsutherland1 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Morning thoughts... Today will be mostly cloudy and mild as a storm tracking to the toward the Great Lakes region brings warmer air to the East. High temperatures in the region will likely reach the middle and upper 50s in most of the region. Likely high temperatures around the region include: New York City (Central Park): 55° Newark: 57° Philadelphia: 58° An unseasonably mild Thanksgiving Day holiday lies ahead.

donsutherland1 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Readings will rebound into the upper 50s and lower 60s for Thanksgiving Day as a storm passes to the north and west of the region. There will also be some rain and showers, especially during the first half of the day. December could start off mild before a period of cooler than normal to near normal temperatures commences. This cooler period could still give way to warmer readings at some point during the second week of December, but there is considerable uncertainty. The now likely development of a AO-/PNA+ pattern has shifted the outlook toward colder temperatures during the first half of December (consistent with statistical guidance). The duration of the AO-/PNA+ pattern could delay any warmup until near mid-month. Statistical guidance based on the ENSO state and teleconnections would typically favor a colder regime for the first half of December. Both historic experience following exceptionally warm November cases and the latest weekly and monthly guidance suggest that a warmer than normal December remains the base case even if the first half of the month winds up colder than normal. Almost 90% of cases with a November mean temperature of 51.5° or above in Central Park went on to record a warmer than normal December and just over three-quarters of such cases saw December register a monthly mean temperature of 40.0° or above.

The SOI was +5.66. Today, the preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) figure was +0.705. On November 24 the MJO was in Phase 4 at an amplitude of 0.702 (RMM). The November 23-adjusted amplitude was 0.764. Based on the latest guidance, no significant stratospheric warming event is likely through the start of December. Since 1950, there have been five cases where a La Niña developed during June-July-August or afterward following an El Niño winter. 4/5 (80%) of those cases saw a predominant EPO+/AO+ winter pattern.
