Massive west coast ridge with the bridge to GL intensifying through the end of the run. Pretty impressive look. GEPS is also building h5 heights in the NAO domain at the end of the run. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I NEVER travel from Dec 15 to March 15, but I got hoodwinked into doing it this year with the thought that winter was gonna suck. Still probably will, but of course December might be THE lit month. We getting snow before the 12th. 3 2 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This image looks like the XXX weather model porn we had this past Jan., which was showing an historic cold and snow pattern for the East. Ironic, if this December delivers cold and snow when most had little hopes for this winter, let alone December which tyically is not our climo peak. Time will tell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted November 24 Share Posted November 24 56 minutes ago, CAPE said: Its 'there' on the GEFS and Euro ens mean too, but barely. Looks like most of the moisture gets wrung out over the western highlands, which is typical of a weak clipper. Snow in the air and maybe a whitening of the ground in the lowlands in early Dec is better than cold and dry. Not sure if something like a “decade trend” exists, but what few respectable storms we’ve had in the last 5 years have mostly been northern stream storms that moistened up in the 3-4 days before they hit. From range they all looked like weak sauce flurries. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We want that trough axis to our west though, not over us. But that’s the type of thing that can happen with specific shortwaves rather than a longwave average. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The op runs depict a bunch of shortwave energy embedded in the flow over the western ridge/between it and the TPV. Strong shortwaves dropping southward will modify the the longwave trough. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted November 24 Share Posted November 24 Talk about a mechanism for cross Polar flow lol. Then an anticyclonic wave break sends a massive h5 avocado southward. Barney cold at the surface. Euro is feeding the weenies now that it extends beyond 240. 4 1 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, the precip avg is going to be less with a cold pattern . Above normal snow can result with below average precip as we all know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s probably slightly above normal for the first 3.5 weeks of December. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted November 24 Share Posted November 24 ^7” for MBY through January 8. Again probably slightly above normal. but if snowiest week is second week of December, that’s an encouraging sign for how we’re viewing the pattern evolution. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good test for the models and seeing which ones to trust more when we track the real stuff. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
