Pattern December Dud 👀

06z GEFS seems to have more of a signal then its had for the storm that the AI Euro has been hitting at. It ain’t much but it’s something. Anybody have the individual panels?

Eh not so much after all but still a system.
 
ingredients are on the table. Split flow. Active southern stream with a brutal early season press coming in from the north. It’s what you want. Hopefully this is the theme all winter long. It would just be a matter of time before we get a well defined baja wave. It’s early. IMG_0530.png
 
Light snow event still possible especially TN and the NC mountains Sunday into Monday. Not sure we're going to get enough digging to give us the moisture transport and lift east of there, but there's still time. Certainly seen these types of events trend to a light event east of the mountains in the past.

I mean this is the range when we start to see legit threats. We’ve had the euro, now the icon, and the GEFS at 06z did have an increase in members. I know I’m probably reaching but damn!
You’re not reaching, you’re watching, as you should be. That’s our charter in here

Yeah the ICON isn’t far off. Drops a wave from Washington state into the southern plains along the base of the eastern trough. Looks a bit suppressive, but good run in the big picture
 
This will be the coldest and most dry start to December that I can remember. We may score a little snow sometime this winter but it won’t be early! Biggest chances have always been Jan- Feb!
 
We’re gonna have this overall wave pattern for a majority of this winter (& if history serves us right, it’ll be back next winter too) . Plenty of time to make some magic happen

All that western blocking…. Drool worthy.
Was wondering where you've been hiding with all this western ridging popping up.

Like most modeling, the AI Euro now doesn't have a wave dropping down into us early next week underneath the bowl-shaped trough E of the Rockies. Shame cause the cold high pressure works in beautifully during that timeframe. Let's see if we can somehow find a wave to work thru the western ridging and dive in the next few days though.

It does have a little ice this run on Dec 8th

Here are days 5-10 and 10-15 on the AI Euro run. Impressive look there for day 10-15 as the Pac Jet calms down a bit and the western ridging fires up

Not gonna lie, I’ve been burnt too many times over the last few years. My winter mojo is on life support. A few weeks of a +PNA would definitely get the fire burning again.

Edit: That last AI loop is straight 2013/2014.

Last winter almost broke me lol. Not so much that I didn't see anything (I'm reasonable enough to know the climatology fight that is real), but just how it was just a disaster up and down the whole eastern seaboard. And the winter before that was just as bad. Then November comes, and I'm right back in here lol

EWebb has mentioned this, but here is SST comparison between Nov 2013 (Left) and Nov 2024 (Right)

The cold on that AI run is pretty incredible. After Thanksgiving a brief warm up ahead of a front that gets us to either side of 50 is really the warmest period for the run
Again, give me as much cold for as long as possible and we’ll figure it out
 
How many times have rogue pieces of energy appeared in NWP around D4-5 and given us winter storms in the past. You guys are right - if we can get that sort of amplified pattern for a decent stretch the odds go up. But we have been incredibly unlucky the past few years which is frustrating.
