Somebody better post some pretty ensembles, quickly!! 12 z gfs was a bigger dumpster fire than 6z! The rain/snow line is around Chicago on the 23rd! Delayed, but not denied, yadda yadda
When major pattern changes are in the works, the models flip flop a lot, so hopefully just a blip, like Clemsons’ 35 game win streak, that’s about to be ended!
It’s just another forecast tool. They can change daily, their forecast. As best as I understand, phases 1,2,8, and now 7, per Webber, are our coldest phases for E and SE in winter months
Someone posted his comments somewhere, he’s all aboard the arctic express coming up, forget how wrong he’s been all of fall and first of winter! Got a little Mississippi leg hound in em, if he ever starts, it’s just better to let him finish!
Well JB threw out winter of 77/78 and 14/15 in analogs to the start of winter and transition now and the Australian heat and fires! So what could go wrong?
I think the low N of Maine, is acting as a temporary block, or temporary-NAO, by it bombing out, slowing things down. That could make the storm go more S in future runs , if it’s stronger or furthe S
Also the “ ice storm” next weekend 18th or about, the high almost looks like a big banana high, and the low tracks right into it. That could be a super - wedge, and being underestimated as of now!?
