My expectations are higher with the weak PV/ LA Nina and a favorable MJO. I think we get more snow than last winter ( thats not saying much though ) Winter should start to kick in after next week.

Sir, this is a weather forum. Please keep it about weather.

also in regards to Dec chill being advertised, fwiw, tellies are supportive of Ens guidance, so while not a lock, I'd say we may be loaded :).

Same can be said if it goes into the bad phases. Just a computer model.

If I remember correctly, there were a number of storms that just missed central park with snowfall. Even though I believe the city ended up around 4 inches for the year, with subtle differences it could have been much more. Of course the giant blizzard ending April 1st that year was too warm and east for Manhattan (all the other borrows did ok). However if that same storm occurred 2 weeks earlier, Manhattan could have had a solid 6 to 10 inches. Going into this year with low expectations, I would definitely roll the dice with a 96 / 97 repeat.

has a weird splotchy look too suspect the answer is bad news

We have not had much sun this week and today will be no different. Rain chances increase late tonight with around 0.20" possible for most areas. We should finally see the sun return tomorrow through Monday with afternoon high temperatures near average at around 50 degrees. Our next rain chances increase by Tuesday late day into Wednesday. Wednesday should be our one well above average temperature day with highs reaching near 60 degrees! We turn sharply cooler by Thanksgiving Day.

if i may, its cooldown part 2. verbatim we cool for turk day into weekend, then a brief warmup as the calendar turns to Dec. AOA 12/3-4 we get 500mb pattern depicted above.

It’s been kinda low grade consistently below normal this month. CON’s min so far is 18F. They usually have gotten lower than that by now.

Is that on track or pushed out a week? .

Don't think I've ever seen this much drought throughout the entire country. Where the hell have all the weather systems gone?

picked up .01 from that mist.

Morning low of 21°. November has certainly featured some chilly mornings.

Yes that's definitely occurring. Hopefully we can get the PDO to return to a more neutral if not slightly positive state in the long term.

Looks like a little warmer than average as we head into the last week of November. Storm track remains through the Great Lakes. So the warm ups will be a bit more impressive than the cool downs which follow. But nothing too extreme in terms of temperatures and storms.

Min 20.9°

That post had nothing at all to do with the tropospheric MJO. It was the stratosphere only, which Simon Lee believes (in his professional opinion) resembles 96-97. But with regard to the MJO, we won’t know for certain that the MJO actually goes strongly into phase 8 until it happens, it’s simply a computer generated projection right now

Simon is highly credible with deep expertise. He doesn't make outlandish statements for clicks or subscriptions. He has done important research. I am aware of his concerns and take them seriously. With regard to the upcoming SSWE, I have outlined what is my current baseline thinking. Overall, I have three general scenarios: Scenario 1: Great Lakes Focused Cold, East Gets a Window (EPO-/AO-/PNA-) -- My Baseline Scenario 2: Colder/Blockier; Classic Eastern Winter Period (EPO-/AO-/PNA+) Scenario 3: Delayed or Short Impact/Persistent SE Ridge; Cold Underperforms in the East; reduced snow opportunities in the Mid-Atlantic Region (EPO-/AO+/PNA-) Under my current baseline, cold would first move into the Great Lakes Region and then spread farther east (except for the Southeast; the cold will be fleeting there). The late November cold shot is unrelated to the stratospheric event. Should the forecast AO- break down relatively quickly, the odds of Scenario 3 would increase. Given guidance skill (lack thereof) at long timeframes, I am sticking with the baseline until there is credible evidence it is going off track. Interestingly, during Winter 1996-1997, January was the coldest month relative to normal for such cities as Detroit and New York. That outcome was suggested by my final winter analog set.

This isnt 1996/1997 Strong into P8 Dont expect a strong PV

Yeah, we've noticed the muting of torches as they get closer in time. I think it is because the Pacific is improving. We just need the Atlantic to cooperate with timing.

My man, the sage voice of reason.

It has now been misting here for 14 straight hours Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk

It’s coming…

To be clear, I'm not debbing on this winter. We have several favorable factors working in our favor thus far, and as @WxUSAF has noted these torches advertised in the medium to long range have been muted as we close on the date.
