Expand The precise axis of the PNA ridge is key and its a very subtle feature as you can see if you toggle back through the last 3-5 days of GEFS runs. We want as much N-S orientation as possible. Either way today’s GEFS has us BN for the first 7-10 days of December. Hopefully it’s not a dry cold. Regarding the AK trough, interestingly the extended GEFS has it west of AK near Kamchatka or NE Siberia all of December. That’s a pretty good location for us as it should encourage ridging over western Canada. Doubly so if a piece of the TPV breaks off and heads for eastern Canada as it shows right at the end around Xmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I'm looking for from this upcoming event are a couple of thins: 1.) What model(s) handle this best. It could give us an idea as to what guidance can be trusted more this winter. 2.) Is this going to be a model fantasy, where nothing really happens. 3.) Is this going to be a kick-the-can event where it winds up being delayed, etc. 4.) Will a fluke pattern at the start of the season be enough to actually get a workable storm for some folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Stealing something from phillywx... Since 2000 there have been 13 measurable snow events in the first 10 days of December at PHL. Let’s assume that’s about the same for us. So you’re looking at a 6.5% chance on any given day. But roughly even money or a bit better on measurable at in the first 10 days when adding that up. Given the advertised pattern, it’s hard for me to see that we’re in a worse than climo position. Hopefully that holds through the next 2 weeks.

GEFS seems to be can-kicking on that orientation a bit, but also making the situation before that less hostile overall. I’d eagerly sign up to take my chances with that pattern anytime DJF.

WxUSAF Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Dec 4-5 is the first period to keep an eye on. GFS and GGEM are weak and sheared today while euro is wrapped up inland. Need the Nov 30/Dec 1 storm to give us a good air mass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
