Looking forward, it appears on the ens means that we are heading towards more of a Nina look with a fast moving Northern jet and SER with more of a -PNA look out west. GEPS is the least Nina-ish fwiw. Needless to say, a hostile PAC side probably wont work out for us, especially in late Nov/early Dec. Where and when the pattern heads after this is up for debate. It does appear the -NAO has some staying power....but watch the Atlantic crap the bed once the PAC turns less hostile. This has been a repeated theme over the past several years....tough to get both sides working in tandem. Doesnt matter quite as much late in the season where we can cash in on crud patterns with shorter wavelength between systems. What irks me on the ens that ALSO is showing that it may be a base state feature this year is, once again, the central PAC positive 500 anomaly blob that keeps trying to feed an Aleutian ridge. We need to see neg anomalies in the Aleutians, not the opposite. So after some BN weather, it appears after Thanksgiving weekend that things relax and 'hopefully' are setting up for a reload (?) during the first half of Dec.

Some lazy fkakes falling....and so it begins
-
Temps nosediving down to 40F now

My wife and i have been looking at homes/jobs leeside of the Lakes....anywhere from Westfield NY to Buffalo and my holy grail...Redfield, NY. Sometime in the next 10 years we hope.

Jealous as f:

Never heard of him.
-
And just like that, temp dropped to 42F
-
Im not sure if we will cool off enough by the time it gets to us. Got a couple degrees warmer today than anticipated. Sitting at 44F attm.

If u believe the HRRR...up to a half an inch could accumulate....mulch or car topper

Several mesos have a snow squall or snow showers this evening fwiw
-
EPS up top also has more of a linkup between the PNA ridge trying to connect with the NAO. Causes some more amplification in the pattern. GEFS has more separation and impulses flying across Canada...closed circulation of the vortex in central Canads halts the linkup on the GEFS
-
Thank you for focusing on the ens. I know YOU know this and some others, but i was waiting for someone to come in and claim the GFS op has a full-on Nina look with a racing progressive NS that doesnt have anything to slow it down and amplify it. Of course it is a possible outcome since we are in a Nina, but for now the best bet is use the ens past 5 days or so.
-
Thankfully it's the op at long range. Not make any HH friends tonight, fo sho. Nina SER on roids
-
Resembles 12z euro from yesterday at surface. Starting to see 2 camps emerging maybe....wound up GL track vs weaker more progressive low tracking closer to our latitude(s). We're pros at playing the "2 camps" game....and we almost never end up on the fail side
-
See @WxUSAF post above
-
Yep. Need PAC side cooperation if we r going to hit an early season metro snowstorm, ie +PNA, EPO ridge, etc
-
EPS mean has a coastal over Hatteras and temps cold enough into SE PA next Friday.
-
Only takes a piece of that to eject at the right time to clash with the N Plains energy diving SE. Might not want a big bomb tho, deferring to the pros on that one.
-
Thats a hell of a +PNA nosing into the EPO. Definitely a PAC look that would work this time of year.
-
Not a fan of seeing a ssw event this early tbh. It is like playing russian roulette with the pattern evolution. Takes the right mix of everything at a strat level to hit the jackpot. But can also muck up what could potentially be something really good. I like it in deep winter when we've had fail after fail just to try and shake things up. Not a huge fan where, for example, CFS and others are showing us headed down the yellow brick road into mid December. Guess it's a chance we have to live with at any time tho.
-
When is the reload? 2024ish?
-
I see the op has a shortwave leeside of the developing PNA ridge that breaks off and sinks in the SW eventually deep into Mexico. Is this feature prevalent on the eps as an entirely separate entity also or do the more menacing looks on the eps individual members keep that feature moving along the southern jet where it interacts with the clipper-like energy diving SSE? Just curious what role that may play and if the euro op is up to its bias of hanging SJ energy back and cutting off.
-
0z Euro towards the end of the run is an eye opener...close miss to our South and East verbatim. I do caution that during the Nina last year the euro op repeatedly teased some big storms out past day 8 that never materialized. Reason i remember is because we crowned the GFS as the new king and we kept asking each other wth happened to the old reliable euro. Maybe this year euro regains the crown.

We talking full tent mode here?
