Pattern December Discussion

[Storm5]

not sure why anyone is even concerned with the NAO at this point given the last few years. I honestly could care less at this point. if it goes negative later in winter , great . If it stays positive,  great. I've scored more without a -NAO in the last 6 years vs with a -NAO

So at this point is a PNA more important than a NAO?

Another thing, why is this pattern so fast? I go from rain yesterday, to cold and 40s today, to 70s on Saturday.

I heard JB punted January for the east !? Y'all better prepare for a lot of cold and snow!!

No blocking and a bad pacific! Keeps things changeable and why we have to have perfect timing with a cold shot and moisture. Very transient pattern, progressive.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Pac has tenfold more influence on our fate as far as winter weather prospects go. Atlantic is the last peice of the puzzle that we can survive with or without 9 times out of 10. But you go monkeying with the pacific and it's long winter in the SE.

yep and I've scored alot in the last 6 years . a progressive pattern is fine with me. those with the mindset that you have to have a -NAO are in for a long three months . I -NAO is more important for eastern regions like south and north Carolina vs areas west of the apps. we can do fine with inland runners and app runners

You have to have the pacific in play unless you live in the CAD regions that might score with a crap pacific but a -NAO. I'm sure weber and larry might have some stats

to its the most  basic winter rule living in the SE especially my area that you taught me years ago. Pacific  , pacific ,pacific. I'd rather have a cooperating Pacific vs Atlantic any day of the week .

Obviously the NAO helps as it slows the pattern and helps with the storm track , I'm not saying I'll complain if it ever does establish itself.

But a progressive flow isn't the end of the world if the spacing is correct.  Obviously your depending on timing but hell, it's worked out well over the few years

it is funny though, my parents have barely seen snow since I moved after that. Lol. But I can remember long stretches earlier in the 2000s that were far longer than this. Welcome to living in the deep south.

[/quote] well If it weren't for the winter of 2014 then it would be like a 5 year stretch without snow in ATL. 11-12, 12-13, 14-15, 15-16 were awful years with just one good year sandwiched in between. It's been a very bad decade overall since 2011-12.

[/quote] there were 2 or 3 good events between 2003 and 2009. The Jan 2005  ice storm. Also some areas in GA had an icestorm in Dec 2005 and also there were 2 snow events in Jan 2008. Some areas also got snow in March 2009. I would say that the stretch of winters from 2011-2016 is as bad as any stretch that I can recall for ATL ( not talking about the northern suburbs). Take away 13-14 and it's a 5 year stretch with no snow.

That end of the euro run could be fun if that pig would dig

 

[GeorgiaGirl]

Just had a look at the 12z GFS.

It's back to a torch around Christmas, which is what it was showing for a while before it went away for a few days earlier. Ugh. At least its still well out there.

At least it's conveniently only around Christmas where there is a serious torch...heh heh *sniff*

I'd rather just have ho hum weather. 50s-60s (slight above if at all) and nothing out of the ordinary weather wise.

Low to mid 60's. Some people would kill for that. Doubt we will be that warm. GFS underestimating the wedge effect.

Umm, early January is a great time climatologically for Atlanta to get wintry precip. I can recall many early January wintry events. The last one being in January 2011.Also, don't forget the great snowstorm in January 2002 and there are many others.

For now at least I'd rather have ho hum weather instead of a torch or really cold weather. I'll worry about the potential for winter weather when we flip the calendar.

The Friday cold snap looks on track.

The temperature right now imby is 23 degrees at 1:52pm. Just two days from now temp is supposed reach near 70 with thunderstorms. Then the very next day a high of 29 with a chance of snow. Talk about some wild swings in the weather.

Sure...it happens. No question. Highest chance of snow is January 21st to February 8th, historically. Only 4 of the top 20 snowfalls were before January 15th.

I'll gladly take an early January snowfall though!

not sure why anyone is even concerned with the NAO at this point given the last few years. I honestly could care less at this point. if it goes negative later in winter , great . If it stays positive,  great. I've scored more without a -NAO in the last 6 years vs with a -NAO

That's quite a dramatic swing in temps. I was in Austin for a wedding several years ago and it went from 90 and sunny to 45 and rain. That was in fall and was called a blue norther from what the locals said.

yeah I've heard of those before, never really seen one, but I know the record drop here is around 70 degrees.

GFS goes from 78 Saturday to 19 Sunday morning. If that verifies it'd be the warmest and coldest temps of the month back to back.

Almost a 60 degree drop within 24 hours is insane! The only other place I have heard of huge temp swings even near that is Colorado. I'm sure other states may see big drops but that may be close to a record or something.
