Pattern November Knock-Out

Well Sun/Mon after Thanksgiving still looking chilly according to 0z GFS so far. Dry and boring.

Yeah but spewing mess like he did when the past ten years has had multiple big snow storms is laughable.

Perhaps there will be an ULL or disturbance not yet seen on the computer models. I try to tell myself that in times like these :)

Yep far more intense vs the two tropical systems that came through this year

Yeah, that powerhouse front/low, is going to go up into Canada and form a pseudo-block, the pattern is about to get lit! We will see a wintry event between Dec 20th and Jan 5th!

we'll all be praying for that mythical SSW event to save winter by then....

Barrow Alaska started their ploar nights yesterday and now they will go without the sun until January 22nd . Holy hell!!!! They get a few brief hours of " brighter " conditions at twilight but the sun won't rise up there till January 22nd

That would just be depressing...
Also still looks like a decent shot of cold air near end of the month but to me it looks transient (par for the course), gonna probably have to wait until mid-Dec to see if we can get a shot of sustained cold (more than a day or two) to hopefully get something wintry.
At least Thanksgiving looks seasonal

Does that mean they will be colder until then?
 
If this verifies the radiational capital of Fl, aka Phil's backyard :), might have to deal with some frost....

It'll be 10-15 degrees warmer at verification time! :(
Don't know why we thought this year was gonna be any different, wrg to strong cold showing in med/long range, only to not verify!
 
Also the drought continues.... Shane, Eric (Webb) I drove across Falls Lake yesterday and it looks low, very low.... was I seeing things or is it that bad?

It's that bad! Lake Hartwell on the GA/SC border, looks about 10-15 feet below normal!

12z gfs is torchy

The good news is that even IF the torchy 11-15 day 12Z GFS were to verify, days 1-10 overall are nearly the opposite with them being on the cool side of normal, thus completing a most pleasant Nov after what 3-4 weeks ago appeared headed to being warm. Also, the 12Z GEFS is only marginally above normal in the 11-15.
Aside: DT is predicting a fairly torchy Dec 1-15 in the SE, which is consistent with the 12Z GFS, but he has a much colder near to marginally below normal Dec 16-31. I'd take a torchy Dec 1-15 anytime if I can get a near to slightly below normal Dec 16-31!
 
Larry,
Triple "like" but only one will post! ... LOL
The forecast Larry refers to is in the Winter Discussion thread and is well worth a read.
Phil

PS - FWIW, the 12Z GFS is much cooler down here than the 6Z ...

It doesn't seem that way. The 2m temps actually give us a few freezes and highs at the most toward the end of the run are in the mid 60s for a day or two. The rest seems cool and seasonal. No upper 70s in sight for here.

Also, it gives only pleasant low 70s down at KATL and only upper 70s for Phil and myself for just a couple of days (no 80s if it verified, which I can easily live with). So, even if solidly warmer than normal/torchy for a few days, who cares? That's quite normal! It isn't like that is the forecast for the rest of Dec. much less the forecast for the rest of winter. Also, the 10 days preceding this are cool overall.
