The ice has gotten battered due to a very unfavorable May/June, and the pattern is only projected to get worse as renewed blocking develops.
I expect a cliff dive in sea ice next couple weeks.
I think that's it for 90s, Flo's influence will mitigate the ridge effects and things turn cooler after she exits.
Even if ridging returns afterwards, 90s become very unlikely after September 20.
He'll score big at times but he's also incredibly biased. He will often offer the cold & snow option for the east coast even in years that don't warrant it because he knows that'll get people to buy into his stuff.
He does the same during hurricane season.
PD II is one unique way to get a big storm in this coming pattern. There's definitely support building from the 27-30th for a big overrunning storm.
+NAO/-PNA but with a strongly -EPO/WPO. Could be interesting.
The CFS is a complete joke and should be disbanded immediately, it bit the bullet on November and the model, not the weather will burn in flames next month.
Nice storm signal next Saturday, strong east based block forces low to form further SE and rapidly intensify.
The weather pattern has been so boring that even a coastal rainstorm would be nice.
I agree it's sad and terrifying how easily people fall for anything whether it be a fake news article or a weather forecast. There's so much misinformation out there and nobody cares to check the sources.
Well then I better be roasting next month with tshirts and shorts for Xmas. Anything less than 70 during the holidays is a bust.
I'm still waiting for my record November torch that the models showed, I was all-in with the Novie roast bc I trusted them.
That shortwave looks interesting on the 12z gfs for T-Day especially if the pattern amplifies in that way with strong western ridging.
If the -NAO is that strong and the +PNA is correct then that wave should dig much further south.
Well to be fair I'm just looking to see if there are snow opportunities, so yeah it doesn't have to stay BN as long as a pattern develops down the line that could give us our first snowfall.
I've heard a lot of discussion around Thanksgiving time for snow but that's way out there obviously.
It's never ending because it has become the norm so people think that's how it's supposed to be.
People don't really notice how extreme it is unless it's centered around winter or summer. People definitely noticed Dec 2015 and they'll definitely notice the next record warm July-August.
