The little clipper that did. I miss those. I remember one year we had a clipper diving south and stalled off of Long Island, you'd have to ask Will the storm, I'm sure he remembers.

Something like the 6z GFS Op is likely. Will be a constant battle this winter so we have to maximize our chances when the ridge out west flexes. You'd need a full scale change of the PDO for a 13-15 winter pattern sustained western ridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

December may yet end up above average....I had +3 to +5F for December and we still could hit the lower end of that. I do think a large scale shift in the Pacific is imminent and defintely tried to blend that into the December discourse. These seconday nadirs during a Pacific Cold Phase usually signal the beginning of the end of the long term -PDO....the last strong El Nino before the 2023-2024 event that exhibited a great deal of cool ENSO proclivities was 1972-1973, which was also during the seconday cold phase nadir and was a followed by the longer term phase switch a few years later. The only other cool ENSO tobe preceeded by this strong of a WWB during the month of November was 1998, and this instance that Pacific disharmony marked a transition from warm to cold phase. This mismatching and flux in the tropics is the beginning of the end of this era as we know it. It will be history by the turn of the decade as sure as the word stein will vanish from Kev's lexicon after the first major snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

40/70 Benchmark Posted November 27 Share Posted November 27 18 hours ago, ORH_wxman said: Euro has clipper for 12/4 and the GEFS has some support there even if the OP doesn’t. Mentioned this to Ray earlier in this thread that the 12/4-12/6 period has some decent meridional flow so while a large ticket event is unlikely until post-12/6, there’s def a chance for something northern stream before that…mostly likely a clipper but if you dig it enough it can turn into a redeveloper/Miller B-east type system. Lots of cold around during that window too so ptype issues would be minimized. I cited 12/7 as the first larger ticket potential in my work last night, but that is just derived from a cursory glance at the ensemble suites...certainly could be off nby a day or two.

Go Kart Mozart Posted November 27 Share Posted November 27 If the MJO projections are accurate (a big if, granted), maybe a 10 day warm up mid-month then fun and games begin again around Christmas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrible model Well, it may just be failing on the mismatch period that deviates from ENSO....we saw that last year when seasonal guidance tried to model a more classic warm ENSO look, but was more accurate with respect to other parts of the season. I do not expect February to roast. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted November 27 Share Posted November 27 This is a very stable look. Maybe subtle signs it relaxes towards the end of the 11-15 day, but that would also mean more storm chances. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really sure how much of an influence the MJO will have moving through December really, the MJO signal doesn't appear overly strong and like you said, other factors driving the bus now and will probably outweigh the MJO signal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fear has been cold/dry first week with a little baby clipper or two second week and then when something bigger brews mid month, the pattern is too relaxed and you what happens… rainers for the holidays.
