     0Z Euro/CMC is a good bit colder than the torchy 0Z GFS in the SE in the 7-10 day, especially up at 850 mb. Also, the 0Z UKMET at day 7 is more similar to the Euro/CMC than the GFS. The 0Z Euro changed quite a bit late in the run. But that's the nature of operational volatility especially after day 7. So, lots of uncertainty coming towards next weekend.

    Rule of thumb that I like to use in the 7 to 10 day range is used the Ensamble’s Usually the operational is usually very volatile even the euro for that matter after seven days

    Models showing almost no precip for tonight in my area, and no front end thump for the weekend storm. 

    Looking like a shutout so far, and may end up that way this year.

    Smart thing to do is take up another hobby, at least until the next el nino, and even that isn’t a guarantee (see: 97-98)

    Specially if it’s very strong like 97/98 Now if it’s a moderate one Like 2009 2010 that could be a different story as we all know

    The euro and gfs were consistent with Ian and were both wrong inside of 24 hours, gfs did very well with Nicole....dont give up because these models aren't giving you what you want...the amount of gfs runs that get tossed with even well developed tropical systems would make your head spin...euro is far more consistent thus less runs tossed but of course consistency can also be consistently wrong through the life of a system....Madison to Detroit are in play for the jackpot, lets see if the gfs settles down today

    It might not settle down until WednesdayIt

    Oz models across the board made significant improvements for the Dec 22-23 system. Still have a ways to go....too long if you ask me, but we have a unanimous signal for a potential storm across all guidance now...thats what we should be focused on at this point. Sharing these from another sub...thanks @Weather Will

    It's not, but are you going to cry if I've already doubled your total for the year? I mean, you're seeing record heat and late season tropical activity. You can make the case you guys haven't even entered Fall yet, it's more of a September pattern. If I saw a path to decent snows for the area, I'd mention it. Last year at this time I pointed out that 150+ ACE seasons are often (50/50) good for your area, and then DC got 13 inches of snow - near average. So it's not like I'm incapable of seeing good outcomes for you, I know that's hard to understand, but there are actual long-range indicators that work for snow in various areas of the US. You're just too lazy to bother investigating any of them.

    It’s OK I’m sure if there were cities on the East Coast at 5000 feet altitude be a lot different story but oh well it is what it is I’m enjoying the warm weather out golfing and you enjoy your Dustings

    I have some research on what the most active Novembers in the Atlantic correlate to later in the season. But have to see if the system shown on the models blows up as hits Florida as I suspect it will.

    I was expecting about 10 ACE for November, but we'll probably get to 15-20, since we're near 6-7 so far I believe. Over 25 in November is vanishingly rare, so I do think this little burst of activity is the end of it.

    I'm a bit jealous of the eastern warmth - we haven't been in the mid/upper 70s here in close to three weeks already. Have already had to clean off snow on my car twice. Not a fan of dewpoints in the 60s though.

     

    I guess you reached your total in Albuquerque Already

    To me the debate has not been clearly resolved as to does the weather cause indexes or do  the indexes cause weather?

    I think this winter is going to be counter to what the indexes are indicating.

    I think it’s a battle between what indexes are indicating versus what analogs are foretelling. 

     

    Chicken or the egg?

    Agree.  Great golfing weather.  Although I lost about 15 yards going from hot and humid to cooler and dry

    My problem is the leaves falling when your ball ends up in the woods it’s a lot harder to find

    The overwhelming majority of the time it has been very positive since August, minus a few very few brief bouts of negative 

    Well the way you applied it it’s never been negative it’s always been positive

    The signs for a possible pattern change by November are finally starting to show up. For the 1st time in months, the models are starting to breakdown the extremely persistent +PNA ridge that has been in place since August 

     

    What do you mean the first time in months it was just negative back in September Unless I’m reading the chart wrong

    The AO and NAO are different indices. There can be cases where they are in different states. Wave lengths are still relatively short, so the influence of the AO+ has been offset.
