Pattern November 2024 💤 🔥

Me and the family are going to Gatlinburg the 22nd-26th this month. Really hoping we can at minimum get some snow on top of those peaks for a nice backdrop. Hopefully we can trend to a more aggressive NW flow snow event like the CMC is showing & get something outside the higher peaks.
 
Except it’s november ….
Well, it's almost December...and it's really just an example of what to look for. This has about a .005% chance of verifying! I don't know why the Euro is running out to 360 hours...I think we should stop all of them at 144 hours, like the Ukie.
 
One of the biggest snowstorm in the last 25 yrs hit Dec 3 here...late Nov certainly isnt when we look for snow but it could happen. We need something like that look to pan out before everything gets unfavorable.
2000? If so that one was supposed to hit a much bigger area.

The 2002 ice storm that brought down more trees than Fran in my neighborhood south of Raleigh was a early December storm. Major winter weather events in the early part of December are rare but not unheard of. If this weather pattern were to verify, it might produce some interesting weather for Central and Eastern North Carolina.

You can add Dec 1989 and 2005 to the list of major winters events for that month. 2005's storm was awful right along the escarpment from around Clarksville GA up into Henderson and Polk Counties of NC. The 1989 storm was worse along I-95 if I remember right.
 
Enjoy the cold shots while they’re here. The subseasonal deck looks stacked against the eastern and southeastern us for most of December. Expecting a rather mild one this year, unlike most La Ninas.

I think things could get interesting right at the tail end of December or early January perhaps
 
Probably a sneak preview of what we may see at times later this winter. Lake effect machine will probably be quite active with occasionally very intense cold shots going over much warmer than normal lakes
Saw that a few of the lakes are record warmth for this time of year. Not sure where I saw it but maybe you could confirm

Just seeing snow fall before December woukd be awesome.
It would be nice to see a few November flakes. My birthday is next Friday and while KRDU has recorded snow on my birthday before, there has never been an accumulation reported. An accumulating snow on my birthday would be an awesome gift. I'll go buy a lottery ticket if that ever happens.
 
Looking at the 2m shaded temperature maps on the GFS this morning, it looks like the earliest that KRDU might see a freeze would be November 28th which happens to be the date of the latest freeze on record. Even then, urban areas might not reach the magic number.
Areas north of Raleigh and outlying rural areas will see temperatures should drop to 32 degrees or a little lower according to the model.
 
Yeah the GEFS is following suit. More extended pacific jet with a +PNA/-WPO and -EPO and cross polar flow with a ridge bridge through the west coast/AK and Siberia. Very nice pattern here. Highly skeptical of this imo and think we are more likely to have a -EPO/-PNA and -NAO more like the Canadian, but something to consider. I’d think something like this happens late dec with favorable MJO orbit given convection more then likely to pass at and through the dateline and a very weak La Niña. Also looks like AAM will become positive into December which favors more momentum into the pacific jet later on and more troughing in the subtropics. 7ABA5299-AE10-44BE-A205-0892F49A8CAB.png2F6F1BA4-8A5E-4DB1-9489-3E64814CB490.png670F094E-0EFA-4F58-9CC3-7C92A27B0565.pngBBCA33D3-6617-4E94-BCC4-50D13CC2C399.png
