Pattern Hotober

The trough in the NW being modeled to progressive and pulling back into a more favorable position for BN temps in the east. And the blocking sure is nice to see.

I know you realize this but, unfortunately the E US GEFS cold bias has been awful meaning this is very likely going to verify as being too cold. OTOH, if we could get the EPS to show the same and maintain it.....
 
More regarding the E US GEFS cold bias from Maxar today:

"GFS Struggling In Warm Background State?

The GFS EN model is projecting a pattern change in early October, with a trough diving into the Eastern Half late in the 6-10 Day and lingering through the 11-15 Day period. Other models likewise project a round of cooler air into the Midwest and East, but the GFS EN is notably cooler. 17.9 GWHDDs separate the GFS EN (47.6) from its Euro counterpart (29.7) in the 11-15 Day period alone. Our forecast is a closer fit to the Euro model, as it has been and is seen as best in handling the strong –GLAAM background state, which historically is a warm pattern influence this time of year. The GFS EN has struggled of late, and this is echoed in its late September evolution at longer leads."
 
Be a heck of a pattern for winter. If this verifies...I know a big if, this will be a downright chilly pattern.

Even the warmer eps mean drops our highs back into the low 80s next Friday then slowly backs down through the 70s through the end of the run. Eps also has 1.2 inches of rain here which is the highest I've seen since Dorian

Definitely, but EPS has similar pattern. Hopefully some nice fall temps on the way.

Oh really? I didn't know that, that's much more encouraging than any GFS cold front

EPS looks nice. Let’s see how it verifies

It's not the run for me but that EPS gives me hoooopppppeeeeee with me translating on how it'd look further south lol. The OP might just be out to lunch.

My translating is probably still above average for time of year (edit, well, maybe right at average), but it'd 100% make more sense than mid 90s and it's relieving anyway.
 
GFS is back at it again with the 10/5 CAD. Still forever away and cold biased.

I see that 100 in Alabama. Every bit of that CAD would be needed. Woof.

Seriously, if this wasn't over a week still I'd be cautiously optimistic. It'd be cheap but the CAD would work, and sometimes at least in the past I've had my temps bust lower than the forecast with it.
 
how shocking... not

The once much-ballyhooed cold front that was being advertised for
later in the week is looking less impressive now with the latest
ensemble means showing little change in our mid-upper level longwave
pattern.
Did you get this from a winter AFF last year?? ??
 
This... is simply not fair.

50" of snow... in September?!

I know it's the northern Rockies and there's absolutely no way any of us would see snow this early in the season, but it's hard not to be extremely jealous from afar.

I have friends that live up there ... wonder why they fly down here 3 or 4 times a winter to hole up in Hogtown?
 
These are the dog days of Fall. And why can't they deploy a model that is warm-biased in the long range? That would solve a lot of problems, not the least of which would be wildly improving accuracy.
