591 dm ridge hanging out in the Atlantic, wth... nice pattern for nasty severe
 
The pacific jet just doesn’t look nearly as intimidating as it did last year. I remember we were getting 170+ kt winds deep into the eastern pacific last year. I mean even the 380 hour maps were showing it. I don’t see that so far this year. Therefore my optimism meter is at a 2/10 right now.

If over 384 hours, a 12Z GFS vacillating range of 77º to 44º is a torch in N FL going into the 1st week of December, such a torch is welcomed ...

That's not to imply it might not get much warmer going into December; 384 is further down the road than worth considering ...

... nonetheless ...
 
This is an absolutely horrendous pacific pattern, it's only a matter of time...

Not a surprise. We knew it was coming just in time for December. All we can do is hope we don't get stuck with that crap repeating all winter through our peak climo.
 
while it’s a very long way out, GEFS/GFS do agree on warming, and weakening of the PV (SSWE) they look very similar View attachment 26134View attachment 26135



If this SSWE is successful & we get cold from it, I'd expect the pattern to respond timing wise in January, sort of analogous 1965-66 which absolutely dropped the hammer in January 1966 after a sudden stratospheric warming event occurred in December 1965, peaking in mid-December, that seems about right for this year if one were to transpire. Essentially, I'm saying if this pans out, I don't think we'd have to wait until February to get rocking & rolling.

January 1966 btw was crazy in our neck of the woods, culminating in a blizzard in late January. Yanceyville picked up 34" of snow in 2 weeks.

We don't want to waste our 10 days of winter in the first part of December anyway. Let's get it mid Jan!!
I think we already wasted our week of winter, about a week ago! Remember, Roxboro jackpot, low of 24, it was our coldest of winter and only November!
