November 2025

I am hoping for a good freeze to kill the last of the bugs. I've had a couple of cartop frozen dew events, but that doesn't cut it. I like the maps above for day seven along with what RAH stated:

****Last part of the Long-Range Discussion"
Temperatures: Near normal Thu/Thu night, with highs in the 60s and
lows in the mid 30s to low 40s. Moderation Fri/Fri night ahead of
the cold front, with highs in the mid 60s to low 70s and lows in the
50s. Low confidence in the temperature forecast for Sat and Sun
given the fropa differences. However, there is good agreement and an
increasing potential for the coldest air of the season to arrive
Mon/Mon night. Central NC could see a hard freeze Mon night, with
lows in the mid 20s to low 30s possible
.
 
Oh no it's starting already šŸ˜‚ now we've only had like 2 days below 40 for a low so far 🤣 and it's pushing 80 til FridayView attachment 175997
You're in the part of the country where rapid changes from warm to cold (and back to warm) are normal. I lived in Denver for a while (many years back) and the daily changes were insane. We would be in the 50s at lunch time and then in the teens with heavy snow by supper. Then the next day (or two) it would clear up, temps would jump into the 50s again and the snow would be gone. Denver is a little colder than your location but the general weather setups are the same (continental climate with an unimpeded airflow to your north).
 
0Z Euro trying to drop some precip east of mtns in this cold airmass. A Novelty Graupel shower would be a huge win for early November

I had been wondering when a model was gonna do this. It’s such a beast of a trough on modeling that you figure eventually one of em’s gonna try for some mischief

True but still we only average .8 this month šŸ˜‚ it's not guaranteed to do anything


I mean it was like 75 the day before the blizzard in 2011 but I'm gonna need more proof that is not 3 weeks out(this dude is known for this nonsense here)

From what someone else already said whatever evidence they had has already gone away so yeah šŸ˜‚
 

That would definitely lay down some snow pack if nothing else

Personally I'd be surprised if we get a real snow before Christmas but maybe I'll be wrong 🤣 it has been a bizarre weather year here though I mean pretty much everything has gone against usual consensus. I mean we had a day in the 60s in August of all months...

I'm kind of impressed our first freeze was on track after all that šŸ˜‚

as you'd expect! for my own sake i think i hope this just goes back to being a cold few days and not having to model watch for a flizzard that will never happen.

can't ignore this sort of swing, but i think its best everyone keeps expectations at a nice chilly monday-tuesday until proven otherwise. i will say given the fact that the 540 line is approaching the I-40 corridor on the ensemble mean, i wouldn't call you crazy for rooting for some silliness under such an anomalous trough. but what you really need is something like the euro op shows, where you've got that extra little shortwave thing south of that closed contour in the northeast, just to squeeze some extra synoptic oomf for any precip to develop

For sure man, just glad to be back to tracking Winter stuff. Crazy look off the EPS with these temp anomalies.. ecmwf-ensemble-avg-east-t2m_f_anom-2797600.png
 
Starting to get flashes at the end of the some ens of the beginning of the pattern that the weeklies have been advertising, prob to early but the -NAO looks legit and starting to see some changes in the pac
Would be cool to go early season wavelengths and continue to pound the Strat PV with N Central Pac low Wave 1, while still being able to have some level of western ridging to go along with developing blocking. Early climo and all, but whatever
 
I still for the life of me don’t understand why people get excited for cold in Nov or Dec. Show me some temps well below delta in Jan and Feb and I’ll get excited. We have never been a front loaded winter area.

It doesn’t matter how you load! Front or back, when you see flakes fly in the South, it’s magical

Anytime it’s cold is exciting. Plus it’s rarely cold in November or December honestly. It’s fun to try something different and see where it goes.

Cold regardless should always be celebrated. We roast 6 months out of the year.
 
The anniversary of the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald is just a week away.
The gales of november might come early

I don't understand why anyone would not want a cold & wintry December. I mean unless you just don't give a darn about snow around Christmas. Personally, if I had to pick a month to have a Winter storm & I had to pick between December, January & February it would be December every time. I would sacrifice the rest of Winter to just get a snowstorm in the days/weeks leading up to Christmas. You give me Winter storm rolling in the afternoon of the last day of school for the kids before Christmas break, that is peak life right there.

100% agree with you here, Mitch. 12/8/17 was truly a Christmas miracle for my wife and I down here in Alabama. We got married in June of that year and this was our very first home before we had kids. Our first Christmas in our own home and we got 4.5 inches of heavy wet snow that day. An event I’ll never forget and pray that I get to experience again with our small children. It was so surreal.
