Euro got colder that run,looks more GFS,last run the Euro showed the trough trying to go -ve tilt,this run is more positive,like the GFS,Looks like some good low level shear tho so some one should get some good rains.Probably the better convection would be in the eastern where the better theta-e is showing,least thats what it looks right now.Still the teconnections suck right now on the Euro tonight

Just a little LLJ,have to wait and see, Euro might now even show it next run,first time it's shown this it was more like the GFS recently

You really like to see the low get kicked out of the Baffin Bay/Greenland that just spins for days.We arent getting help from the Pac anytime soon,least right now.If we have a change of any it seemingly will go with the MJO towards the mid month

Probably one thing that could make or break the MJO is going to be once again the +IOD.CFS wants to give it one last hurrah before it goes away then it totally weakens it sig. into the 2nd week of Jan.,so this should be a player of how the MJO progresses.But looks like a nice KW moving through into the first of the year,big storm?Sure looks like it,look at the entrance of that jet.But a couple days ago the Euro showed snow,now it's more severe

RMMS are having troubles,the Euro and GEFS shows it going into 8,1 now

Looks like when the QBO wants to flip it's going to flip when it wants..lol.TBH i'm not sure there is any time line in months now,it's been on the decline tho for the last 6 months 1948 2019 1948

I talked about this on thie ENSO thread.The strongest+IOD YEARS 1994,1997,2006 the ENSO always went into a Nina the next summer,During 1995,1998,2007 the EPO was either falling or rising one way or another -ve,seems like we are headed with other teleconnection signatures we should be headed towards a LaNina next winter EPO 1994 -7.64 -9.84 -11.29 -14.71 -18.03 -23.09 -28.65 -27.02 -19.07 -10.29 -0.30 5.93 1995 8.38 8.01 8.79 11.79 14.92 15.62 11.74 9.53 6.98 3.43 -0.77 -4.57 1996 -5.79 -6.90 -9.92 -11.08 -14.88 -17.03 -23.93 -25.85 -26.02 -23.40 -18.08 -9.86 1997 -3.57 1.94 4.77 9.74 12.37 14.50 14.85 11.69 11.64 9.91 5.74 0.78 1998 -0.85 -2.96 -4.92 -7.82 -14.08 -18.57 -22.97 -24.70 -22.12 -18.77 -12.22 -3.96 1999 3.09 5.84 8.59 13.51 15.56 15.23 14.11 11.91 11.18 10.62 6.01 6.43 2000 4.85 4.20 5.51 3.98 -0.99 -7.83 -13.13 -15.31 -15.52 -14.04 -15.07 -14.56 2001 -15.69 -15.53 -15.99 -17.73 -20.99 -23.31 -24.45 -21.67 -14.29 -10.81 -3.88 1.48 2002 4.64 8.00 9.32 14.03 14.16 13.26 10.05 10.60 8.90 7.66 4.46 -0.50 2003 -1.39 -1.43 -3.30 -8.56 -13.63 -17.71 -22.99 -24.64 -22.51 -20.34 -17.86 -11.38 2004 -4.84 2.61 5.45 10.46 12.97 11.75 9.96 8.74 7.29 8.00 4.35 2.45 2005 -0.69 -0.96 -0.33 -6.64 -15.09 -20.59 -24.20 -25.87 -27.80 -28.76 -29.55 -25.04 2006 -18.83 -11.24 -0.38 5.00 10.36 11.47 10.75 9.10 10.20 10.86 10.10 6.21 2007 2.61 2.43 1.24 -5.18 -14.06 -21.33 -24.92 -27.41 -28.13 -29.05 -27.61 -19.48 2008 -12.42 -4.70 2.19 6.43 11.53 13.45 13.27 11.63 11.60 11.05 9.13 10.46 2009 10.71 12.33 11.44 9.11 1.56 -5.47 -12.21 -14.45 -13.81 -11.69 -13.83 -15.57 2010 -16.02 -16.98 -19.68 -23.57 -26.28 -25.05 -9.84 1.45 6.58 10.83 12.16 10.97 2011 9.18 10.05 10.44 10.71 10.02 3.90 0.44 -0.49 -2.30 -3.05 -9.09 -16.25 2012 -16.07 -15.25 -16.74 -17.62 -22.04 -25.89 -27.82 -27.93 -26.60 -24.51 -18.95 -10.02 2013 -6.07 -1.23 2.85 8.39 12.64 13.38 14.27 14.66 13.12 11.69 12.45 12.55 2014 13.13 12.68 11.72 7.15 -2.81 -13.98 -19.29 -21.64 -23.24 -23.86 -23.65 -25.38 2015 -26.70 -28.62 -28.15 -24.38 -12.33 2.18 7.45 10.97 12.07 13.38 12.79 11.39 2016 9.34 6.77 3.16 0.64 2.37 3.86 6.25 10.07 10.48 12.83 14.16 15.09 2017 14.92 14.78 14.35 13.88 8.01 -3.18 -10.48 -14.42 -15.28 -16.79 -17.20 -18.12 2018 -19.02 -19.37 -19.77 -21.41 -24.23 -28.45 -29.10 -20.41 -9.91 -2.79 3.36 8.05 2019 9.02 9.25 11.82 13.36 14.59 14.36 10.96 9.97 8.25 7.27 5.07 -999.00 -999.0

Right now with the QBO ssemingly next winter might be really good if teleconnections work out.Seems like a good chance we could be headed into a more LaNina pattern and low sunspots like this winter should be on the low side.I'm not punting this winter but just pointing this out.But when the QBO flip it relative stays flipped for around 18 months

Should strenghten it some.EPS is showing the SPV into the Baffin Bay long range

Least right now we have a chance of snow in the long range.Trough going through East Asia tomorrow would bring a trough in the east into the first of the year.Have to see how it plays out if it's to be believed.Euro shows a shortwave around the trough axis

No,that just reverses the QBO early,it will take time to have anything sig

Wish we could access Ventrice models,i spend extra money if i could https://twitter.com/MJVentrice?ref_src=twsrc^google|twcamp^serp|twgr^author

Merry Christmas everyone,may St.Nick visit us soon and not the Scrooge

Go out further and look at the AK

Lots going on around the IDL..CCKW,ROSSBY,WWB.With your CCKW which should upwell the warmer subsurface into region 4 possibly push the warmer surface east into 3.4.Lots of conflicting signals even on 850mb,if you use all the projected sums it's almost like the MJO is in 8,1.Now if you look at CA it shows this,to an extent.

Destructive signals continues with the MJO

Day 4-8 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0350 AM CST Mon Dec 23 2019 Valid 261200Z - 311200Z ...DISCUSSION... Minimal severe thunderstorm potential is evident across the CONUS on Day 4/Thursday as an upper low moves over northern Mexico towards parts of the Southwest. Deterministic medium-range guidance continues to diverge from Day 5/Friday onward regarding the evolution of this upper low across the central/eastern CONUS. If a slower eastward movement occurs, this would potentially allow for greater low-level moisture return. Regardless of its eventual development, enhanced flow aloft attendant to the upper trough/low should foster strong vertical shear. However, instability is forecast to remain rather weak in both the 00Z GFS and ECMWF. Still, some severe threat may materialize from Day 5/Friday through Day 8/Monday over parts of the southern Plains, lower/mid MS Valley into the TN Valley, and Southeast. However, uncertainty in the location and amplitude of the upper trough/low and related surface features, along with concerns about weak instability, suggest predictability remains too low to include any severe probabilities.

Its not that bad yet

Yeah the EPS long range keep showing a snow chance upcoming around New Years with a trough going through East Asia,i think it's to fast myself.Keeps showing it around new years,not sure the pattern is that fast,thinking around the 3rd

EPS 12z today sends the PV going back to the pole but it's not vertically stacked,of course tho this is long range.The Euro is flipping the QBO seemingly each day,getting closer anyways

The MJO should be fun to follow.I don't mean to keep harping it.The WWB upcoming looks really strong west of the IDLwith a passing KW and ERW which more than likely will spawn a TC .The CFS today totally flipped the evolution of the signal.This ERW is what the RMMS show going back into the Maritime,remember,Rossby waves moves east to west,lots of destructive signals

You can see at least right now how into Russia the pattern we are in is getting broke down,at least right now

I would not be shocked if this Jan is not right,the EPS shows it from an EPO.But into winter when the NAO goes negative,we will be doomed in the Mid and western Valley.I'll be in Chicago the middle Jan for my sons gymnastics meet.We got lucky last year and it snowed about 6 inches while we was there,the year before that we walked around the zoo there in short sleaves..doh !!

Like the last weeklies of the EPS,into wk 2-3 -EPO,then it goes into a more -NAO afterwards,we should have snow chances here in Mid and western Valley from cutters,after this if its right,it will be a sob story for us in the Mid and western Valley other than snot blowing cold noses wk 4,it will turn colder seemingly

Yeah but seemingly we are fixing to lose wave-2 and wave-1 will seemingly start to weaken as the heights get pumped into Siberia some what to speak.This should strengten the PV later on but the blocking would push the PV towards NA,I have my doubts we will see a SSW.JMHO
