Don’t underestimate this extended fall with 10 days of winter’s ability to find new ways to keep us suffering.

Agreed...we've had cutoff lows into June with misery for 3-5 days

Yeah, the models now have this as one of the deepest cutoff lows on record for this time of year. So it’s no surprise the models have more clouds, rain, and onshore flow going forward than just a few days ago. The only way we have avoided record warmth in recent years has been these record wet patterns with plenty of onshore flow.

What a shame we can’t use it to track the rain/snow line in this one. It’ll be a nail biter!

Forget Marquette, move to Aomori and learn Japanese!

You'll do it for the 26 feet of snow they get every year.

If you are younger than 40, you will watch baseball die off like horseracing did 50 years ago. In both cases, the milking of fans and disinterest of younger generations will play a role.

are the models becoming worse now for the same reason they were bad all winter?

It’s just difficult for the models when we start getting such strong Greenland blocks and cutoff lows. While the -NAO will quickly rebound, the blocking will transfer to Hudson Bay. So the -NAO linking up with the Southeast ridge will transition to an omega blocking pattern. This makes specific forecasts beyond 120 hrs even lower skill than they typically are. So clouds, rain, and onshore flow will continue to be a factor going forward. I know many don’t like all the record warmth of recent years. But the only times we catch a break from all the warmth is when it gets very wet and cloudy with a persistent onshore flow.
