psuhoffman Posted November 8 Share Posted November 8 On 11/6/2024 at 7:56 PM, cbmclean said: I think our only hope, and it's a long shot, is some sort of odd interaction between the anomalous PDO and the QBO that might lead to the poleward expansion of the C Pac ridge, leading to this being one of the "good Ninas" you have mentioned. Even then though we would be fighting against cold-dry/warm-wet. But I'd rather have that than a 6 month fall. It's possible, there are no analogs this extreme. You have to go back to the 1800s to find anything close to this level of -PDO. And I doubt we can even take much from what happened then given how much things have changed. Overcoming a hostile pacific was a lot easier in the significantly colder climate of the 1800s. More recently we had an extremely (not to this level though) -PDO heading into 2022 and that turned out "ok". I would take a repeat of that winter in heartbeat right now. It could be much much MUCH worse! 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted Saturday at 03:23 PM Author Share Posted Saturday at 03:23 PM Fwiw the Euro and GEFS extended both break down the AK trough and have a ridge developing there(EPO space) early-mid December, with a TPV lobe developing further SE towards northern Hudson Bay. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would work and also possibly build a bridge over the Top and suppress that lobe further South. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted Sunday at 02:18 AM Author Share Posted Sunday at 02:18 AM The week leading up to Xmas per the latest Euro extended. For shits and giggles ofc. This is the general h5 look that has been depicted for awhile now on seasonal guidance at certain points during upcoming winter, specifically the CFS. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that’s the beginning of the time frame that I’m interested in. Around then through roughly mid Jan, depending on the MJO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around then through roughly mid Jan, depending on the MJOWe’ll probably get 20-30 inches between mid December and late January.

NorthArlington101 Posted Sunday at 04:03 PM Share Posted Sunday at 04:03 PM This is the year we get a Dec. 5th storm back. And then we’re blanked for the rest of the year. 3 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted Monday at 10:51 PM Share Posted Monday at 10:51 PM Maybe -PDO has at least cooled off from record levels? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87storms Posted Tuesday at 12:27 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 12:27 AM Yah, if I get the 20-28 inches he is forecasting around Frederick will be very happy!I thought he went a bit high in our areas, but I’m in on snow this year…so will take it as well. With temps looking suspect, I think one of the bigger question marks is whether we’ll have enough storms to roll the dice on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted Tuesday at 12:05 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 12:05 PM FWIW, WBAL in Baltimore going with 15” seasonal total for BWI. That would certainly be in the “good Niña” category. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brooklynwx99 Posted Tuesday at 04:06 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 04:06 PM obviously, take with a grain of salt, but it doesn't hurt to see ridging setting up over the WC/AK at the end of November on longer range guidance no real snow risk here, just bodes well IMO 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also just getting cooler air injected into NA would be nice. We've learned the hard way that a cool November doesn't necessarily translate to DJF, but I believe that November torches start us even further behind the 8-ball than normal. As an example, take 20122-22 where we had the first solid period of December -NAO in a decade but it accomplished bupkis because the entire continent had been torched in November and once blocking started in December it was just blocking in mild air. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping we get a 2-3 week period of real winter at some point (probably January as you say) and then maybe a couple flukes outside that if we’re really lucky. But don’t think anyone would be shocked with nearly wall to wall bikini weather. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
