Pattern December to Remember

Been gone for a day come back to 8 pages of mjo and pattern change talk....ugh I miss the old days 8 pages back in the day meant gold!!! Anyway nice to see some changes on goofy. Just remember he didn't get that name for nothing. I'd like to see some consistency before I bite on the cold. And cold like its showing usually means cold/dry suppression city all day long. Most good storms for NC come with Marginal cold air.

That feeling when you haven’t logged in for a few hours and you come back to 3-4 new pages in the monthly thread. Come to papa. ⛄️
 
One thing that I want to see in the LR models is a trough starting to develop west of the ridge. Without it, there’s nothing stopping the Aleutian ridge from tilting posting and messing up the entire pattern like it did in February 2020.

December 2018 for example:
 
So yet again, even though most of the daylight hours willl be spent in the 50s, today's official high will be 71*F at DFW (set at midnight).

Also, yesterday's high was 78*F, with a daily departure of +21.4*F above average.
 
Also, there's a chance DFW could go the entire month of December without a sub-50*F high, which would really be crazy (not sure that's ever happened before).

Sunday, with a current forecast high in the upper 40s, might be our best shot.

In fact, our "coldest" high to-date has only been 59*F .

Everytime BTR gets an overnight front, I wait with baited breath for the temps to fall PRE-midnight. Any temp drop after midnight will be to no avail in my book. The daily high will still have the ugly stain of a sultry temp for all generations to see in the airport almanac for that date. Maybe I'm just melodramatic about arbitrary weather cycles at my local NWS reporting station. ?
