Pattern Swamptember 2021

Sadly, not sure which one wins, Euro ain't what it used to be
Yeah that's a mess. The euro has been trending toward that look over the past 3 days but like you said it hasn't been what it used to be in the d7-10. It's kind of crazy the gfs would be significant heat post d10 the euro would likely be about to unload a significant early season cold shot.
 
That's why posting those CFS monthly forecasts are really pointless. Models can't latch onto a solution beyond 3-5 days at most now so no model is going to get an accurate picture 3-4 months down the road. That's why that thing changes just about every time it runs. Folks are right about there being a ton that goes into what kind of weather we get. La Nina doesn't guarantee dry and mild as last year showed. The strength of the ENSO is important, do you have blocking like we did in the atlantic last year but with limited cold in the source regions and a less than cooperative pacific. I will die on the hill that we don't need a massive -NAO to get cold or snow. Get the pacific right first and you're cooking with grease. As long as we can just have mostly those 30's and 40 degree days (I actually like those cold and dreary days in winter) with some cold shots and a couple snows, that is a perfect winter to me.

Yeah agreed last winter would have been perfect we just didn’t get the snows
 
A beautiful sweet treat today I might need the 90s to heat me back up .. honestly if we don’t see upper 90s I’ll survive those were miserable … 90 and lower I’ll be Gucci
 
I spy with my little eye .. A FALL FRONT! Combo with a tropical storm is bound to pull those temps down through the SE this was the thing i talked about yesterday that I want to bet on for our September fall feeling … alas it’s way out in la la land but it’s there BF33E49C-43F6-41E8-B512-0305AADA144A.png4DCDE39E-88C6-4EB1-B5B9-ED840ED7A94C.png
 
Eps doesn’t have the cold the euro has
That op euro run was likely on the extreme side it might have unloaded one of the more impressive cool to cold snaps we have seen for mid September. The eps is doing that thing again like last winter where it had massive 30+ degree differences between max and min
 
I dont know why This was weenied ?? I was just asking a question lol I didn’t think op looked cold on 500 mb … my bad ?
It was about to get real cool at least into the northern plains/lakes/NE at D10+ but nothing other than a few eps members support that clean of a tall western ridge. The 12z cmc was about the closest thing I've seen so far and it wasn't really close. I'd expect the 12z euro to come back to reality a little unless it's really sniffing something outecmwf_T850a_namer_11.png
