December 2021 Cold Wave?


Recommended Posts

The 12z GEFS has showed this at the end of the run: gfs-ens_T2ma_namer_65.png

Greenland & Alaska Blocks are really strong, & it will go the Central & Southern Plains if there is a East Coast Block like what happened in February 2021

The GEFS has been showing something like this lately, but not the arctic buildup into a cold wave in good detail until now.

These 1060+ MB Highs are not to be messed around at all on the 6z GFS!

1067 MB over Western Canada & 1060 MB over Montana at the same time!

Another 1059 MB over Montana

Powerful Greenland & Alaska Blocks will also cause multiple rounds of Cold Waves in December

The AO also must be Negative for this to work as well.

And the 12z GFS is surging the Cold air faster compared to the 6z run.

I think that OK or nearby states could be looking at a possible  winter storm by the 12th of Dec.  You have arctic air moving down into the Midwest with the southwest wind at 850 mb.  Maybe even some ice.     What do you think ?

The end of the 12z GFS has a Sleet Storm for most of Oklahoma.

However, it's too far out to be 100% sure with the EPO being way more Positive than expected & it's 2 weeks out as well.

OK,  I agree with you that forecasting 2 weeks out is not dependable.   For the forecast to pan out, the Arctic high will have to build rapidly, and move southward as the model predicts. 

We will see how this situation evolves.

The SSW appears to be stretching from Eastern Siberia to Central Canada, both the GFS & GEFS are showing this

We want all models on board to be more believable lol. I think euro was at one point. Last winter it took 6-8 weeks for it to happen but it was bad in February lol
