Pattern December to Remember

That’s a nice trend in western Canada/AK. Just gotta push more BN heights off the west coast into the pacific

This looks makes me think Christmas day is going to be a cold 40 degree and dreary day because this has CAD written all over it.

Still a consistent signal on a solid +EAMT next week

I don't want to either man, but it just seems like nothing ever pans out anymore..

Not a massive change in the pacific is needed to change the conus pattern but it's infuriating to watch the same look on repeat on the models

That’s a massive Arctic outbreak entering the US at the end of the GFS run

I don't think many people are canceling winter. On the other hand, it seems like we're still at least 16 days from winter starting. Oh well...we'll continue to wait, I guess.

These are our best hopes for any persistent cold period to possibly get all the way down into the SE: the -AO looks especially impressive and -NAO looks good, too:

Yet again, we're going to make another run at 80*F this afternoon, with mostly cloudy skies.

There was actually a midday cold front passage yesterday. After getting to 76*F at 11am, temps fell into the 60s for the rest of the day (*ONLY* 5-10°F above the average high, with *ONLY* a +20°F daily departure from average).

But if you blinked, you missed it! ?

BTW, DFW has only recorded a whopping 0.02" to-date this December. It definitely showed yesterday with how dusty/smoky the air was.

That looks to change tonight though. Pretty good shot at widespread convection.

More cold members after xmas

Isn't it all really about getting a +PNA? Otherwise, cold will be fleeting at best.

Okay I’m so confused. Is phase 7 good for snow in January or not? Half the people are saying yes and half are saying no. Is there any maps showing what a phase 7 does in January?

Good que

to many are under estimating the La Niña to begin with … I didn’t expect much this winter from the start
