I remember late December was Hella warm with tornadoes.Not really, that sort of pattern eventually favors a cold shot/high pressure to build into Mongolia/China and +EAMT which would act to eventually extend the pacific jet
Myfro, I do hope we have episodes of a -epo this winter and -nao at times. Definitely after December it was pretty cold for most of us. I feel we will have some influence of an east based niña as well imo. Coldest anomalies are just west of Peru, so farStep 1 to extend the pacific jet, +EAMTView attachment 123850View attachment 123851
Pretty sure we busted last nightRaleigh has a low of 35 here tonight. Gonna bust majorly as clouds will be very late to arrive. Should radiate to freezing here by 8-9 pm . Temps dropping like a rock as sun sets. DP mid 20s isnt ideal. Be interesting to see. Nonetheless we will hit our forecasted low by 7-8 pm, if not sooner.
For ex, the extended gefs (which did a good job last winter with that +PNA event) shows the same exact process of +EAMT > extended pac jet > Aleutian low/+PNA but it’s keeps a -NAO this go around which is interesting. It’s worth noting a phase 7 dec MJO leans to a +TNH/-EPO/North Pacific block as well. Food for thoughtDay 12-14 seeing signs of +EAMT. Don’t know if we hold on to -NAO into early-dec but watch week 1-2 of dec for a transition to Aleutian low/+PNA. Looks like tropical forcing is heading for phase 7 in dec as well. Background dominated by +GLAAM as well. View attachment 123854
Snowing like crazy here big flakes

So for us dummies what does this mean?

You just don’t get it. It’s what follows after. That look floods Mongolia with HP/frigid air (+EAMT) which would eventually favor a western ridge a couple of weeks later. It’s a similar evolution to last year except GLAAM so far has been even more positive.That is not a good look for winter weather.

And what follows after actually comes at a good time for us right?You just don’t get it. It’s what follows after.

I dropped down to 34, but then the clouds rolled in and put a nice blanket to trap the radiant heat still being released. Rose to 39 just as rain was coming in this morning.34/33. Still clear but dp is up.
Yes. It’s not for sure, but imo in leaning on a pacific change week 1-2 of dec imhoAnd what follows after actually comes at a good time for us right?
Bumpy easing into ATL this morning. Cruising altitude headwind of 93MPH.
Yeah we should come back around to some western ridging in early-mid Dec via increasing EAsia Mtn Torque that you mentioned plus MJO running thru phases 5-6-7-8 (both working to extend the jet toward Hawaii longitude). Late Nov to mid-Dec -NAO potential as well with that persistent Scandinavian ridging lurking. Think a -NAO would have to go big initially before potential Pac pattern improvement, else it will be too warm. Climo on the early side for wintry fun as well.You just don’t get it.

Yep. My biggest wonder is does -NAO last long enough to coincide with western ridging/+PNA which failed to happen last January.Yeah we should come back around to some western ridging in early-mid Dec via increasing EAsia Mtn Torque that you mentioned plus MJO running thru phases 5-6-7-8 (both working to extend the jet toward Hawaii longitude).
