It’s lots of 70’s to near 80 on a few days and 50’s at night . 

Euro has lots of 60's for you next week for highs. Many days hovering around 70 also.  Didn't see anything approaching 80.  You must be looking at the GFS.

I actually hope it warms up come late September and October when the climate numbers are lower.

Looking at the 12z Euro, it doesn't look good for warmth over the next 15 days.

I have been following the Euro and GFS progs for the past 6 weeks or so, and it is quite obvious to me that the GFS for the intermediate and long range consistently overstates 2m temps at 18z time frame for most of us.  It appears that the warm bias is still there in this model.  Just look at today's differences between the Euro and the GFS at 18z times for the next 15 days.

Back in late May when the Weather Channel put on their US map of forecasted June-August temperature anomalies, they had the Northeast well above normal.

Well, not sure about other areas, but Boston was about normal for June, 68°F on average, a degree above normal for July at 75°F, and 2 degrees below normal for August at 70°F.  So I would classify that summer period as normal to slightly below normal, a far cry from well above normal.

I don't put much reliance on these forecasts.  They now have fall temps well above normal once again for the Northeast.

91.2°

3rd straight 96+ for CON

GFS way off here today.  Latest GFS, 12z, had us at 95F here at 18z.  High today has been 85.

Only a week and a half until the big storm!

Yeah, this is one time that an 11-day depiction by both the GFS and the Euro will actually come to pass. 

Even a compromise between the GFS and the Euro would be a whiff. 

The Euro has it going even south of Bermuda.

It's a very large organization of clock punchers doing tasks they are trained for.

It's not a knock on their intelligence or character, but that 06 and 18z was improved recently - it's not hard to imagine the Met making the statement either doesn't know that, or, questions the "up" in the "upgrade" 

Well, looks like some of those clock punchers might have to learn to code:

"Around 600 workers laid off by NOAA, including workers from the National Weather Service and National Hurricane Center - NBC"  https://x.com/BNONews/status/1895252448551543275

Meteorological winter may be over March 1, but if the 18z GFS is right, the first 11 days of March are going to end up 9-10ºF BN.

Feb SSTs in Boston are at the lowest at this time since Feb 2015, so if we get some marginal situations in March we could do ok.

The 18z NAM still leaves a little hope. Much deeper system and much further nw than 12z GFS.  Also, not chasing convection like GFS since it shows a consolidated system.

Even if it heads eastward at some point, it should come further north before that happens. 

Hope is still alive.

Those holding out hope with the Ukie just saw those hopes dashed.

There is little question that modeling 5 days out this winter has been atrocious.  Hundreds of miles of movement from run to run in many cases.  Anyone disputing that hasn't been paying attention.

Funny, I said earlier that I'd rather see GFS in Euro on the same page as opposed to the the ukie and the icon on the same page. And I'm talking about the positive outcome side of things

I said some, not you specifically.

I like how some are hanging their hopes on the Ukie, where a month or so ago many couldn't find enough words to trash that model.

It's all about which model produces the best outcome or the most snow.

Damn. That doesn't look good. I changed my mind I'm ready to throw in the towel pending 00z. I may even smash my phone.

More favorable trends tonight on the Euro for Sunday and day 10.

Both the Euro and the GFS 12z runs paint a cold 2 weeks ahead, well below normal, sun angle or not.

Those aren’t temps, those are snow eating dews

If dews are in the 50's, doesn't it follow that the temps are also?

Look at those dews

Euro op is all alone with temps in the 50's in SNE.  None of the other ops or ensembles are even close to that.

18z GFS showed the PV further west than at 12z, so obviously it moved closer to the Euro.

The EPS looks even worse than the op.  That PV seems to be retrograding.

It's the Euro vs the world once again on the op.

The Euro is gearing up for Springtime just to our south....any flex from the SER and birds start chirping their Spring songs. Euro and GFS OPs couldn't be any further apart it seems in the 10-15 range.

The Euro is all alone in that day 12 depiction of the deep trough in the east with a big warmup here. None of the ensembles show that, and neither does the Euro-AI.

I would take another 5"

So would I.  Another 5" would get me to 19" for the season, halfway there with Feb still ahead of us.

18z GFS doubled down on Wed with enhanced qpf throughout.  Time for the others to catch up.

Although we are closer in on this, if I remember correctly, the last storm the GFS led the way, albeit too bullish, while the EURO was ots until it finally got a clue.

I'm not buying what their selling.  Mostly lies, profit at all cost which includes freedom.

Amazing winter-mode radar! WOW    

That has been debunked.  A Democrat Senator made a fool of himself today at a Cabinet nomination hearing spewing that nonsense.  I guess some people haven't learned anything from this last election. 

End of political screed...
