WINTER IS TRULY BACK BABY!

12z GFS brough back the -EPO for early Dec Nice High pressure location.. but this is just one run

and now the 12Z GooFus has backed that up to 12/3!

December 3 FOLKS to rain on the GFS

Better PV press on the gfs for next week. Like I said , the models have been way too warm in the long range only to get cooler as time goes on.

Its the truth. Look how the models are getting colder again in the mid range. Truth hurts for some of you.

the trend towards more of a wave break in the Pacific might make the first week of the month interesting... more of a -EPO, which displaces more cold air south. combine that with some lingering vorticity in the SW, and overrunning opportunities may present themselves

PV is dipping further south on the gfs. Overrunning looking interesting during the 1st week of december.

He says a lot more than that in that scene...not that I buy all of it, just thought there was some interesting points brought up.

My son is in Valdez, beautiful place Sent from my motorola edge 5G UW (2021) using Tapatalk

I'm looking for recommendations for in-helmet sound/communication - anyone have anything they use and like? My son has simply been using Airpods as he listens to music while riding. I looked into the Cardo Packtalk units and Alec Nunchucks and liked the idea of on-mountain communication while actively riding. Reviews are kind of all over the place though with respect to group communication. Any recommendations for a quality/reliable setup you have experience with is appreciated. TIA

Absolutely buy....that is the Pacific trough regime I expect to take hold around Xmas and through the first half of January that should flip to +TNH mid month.

Can't I have a piece of that negative NAO? La Nina doesn't need that

That's the dream ain't it?

Models keep overestimating the ridge in the long range just to lessen it when the time gets closer. We are in a weak la Nina. The south east ridge shouldn't be strong.

JMA looks like it is going to be the earliest to phase 8

If I am cherry picking models...I sure like the 6z AIFS paired w/ the 6z GFS.

Normal GEFS has it in phase 8 by DEC 6th now:

I would argue that the models are underdoing the Pacific jet and + heights near the WC and AK given that kind of tropical forcing unless the MJO can never get into 8, which I'm sure I'll be told

yeah strong nino decembers can “bust cold” such as with 2009 blocking, while nina decembers can “bust warm” such as with 2021. with the new climate, the odds of course are always more favorable to go warm than cold. i don’t think this december ends up torching though, especially northern tier. i can see it going 1-2 above.
