Need those winds to be more NW'erly to see any remnants of snow off the Lakes imby. Not today.

Wow. Eps too!

GEPS likes next weekend like the Canadian operational.

Have a great dinner and be sure to show your family the 12z Canadian. They'll love it! Lol

To determine whether they are "noisey", an undefined, subjective term I should add, we need to see forecasts from prior model runs since the Gefs have a new run every 6 hours. The difference between the 11/27 run RMM plots (it appears they calculate the plots off the 12z runs) and 11/28 plots may, in fact, be justified by a change in forecast by the model vs sssuming they are wrong. And considering model accuracy improves as we get closer to the target date, a model runs 24 hours later would likely be different and more accurate. That said, I found Snowman's 'ing my post a better scientific explanation. Sorry. Happy Thanksgiving all.

Lol. Noisy. They seem to be noisey when they don't show what you expect. Both of you have posted them before. Whatever.

Yeah. I've posted this link before, but if you want to see the majority of the different model MJO plots on 1 page for easier comparison, try this one: http://www.stormsurf.com/page2/links/mjo_phase.html If you ever wondered how well can models predict the MJO, that link should give you the answer. Lol

Can't say I disagree with any of this at this point. But that can all change in 12 or 24 hours of new runs as we know.

MJO forecasting is like trying to predict who Juan Soto will sign with and the contract figures. Models are not capable, but my wag is that a neutral is even harder for them with no sustained established enso signal i.e. Niño or Niña.

That was yesterday's forecast. They slipped in a new one that shows the MJO collapsing.

Looks like another line of rain before it ends, assuming it makes it over the mts.

It's OK. There are plenty of other reasons to hate my guts.

Honestly, other than the 0z Gfs that reverted back to garbage, nothing encouraging on operational or ensemble runs imho. Happy Thanksgiving!

A decent Gfs run within 10 days, even if just barely! Lol

One thing is certain in this world...extended Gfs will be wrong, one way or the other. I'm more interested to see if the Gefs snow mean cr@ps the he'd from it's 12z run.

Congrats. Enjoy!

Former lawyer. I officially filed the last papers in my last open estate on Monday. Finally! Should have happened a year ago but client just dragged his feet. Oh well, I'm done.

Anybody have any opinions on this guy? I don't follow anybody on X. It was posted in the MA forum. https://x.com/shark_wx/status/1861847216656195755?ref_src=twsrc^tfw|twcamp^tweetembed|twterm^1861847216656195755|twgr^852392dce2a573042c1988905ef4040d137e79bf|twcon^s1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.americanwx.com%2Fbb%2Findex.php%3Fapp%3Dcoremodule%3Dsystemcontroller%3Dembedurl%3Dhttps%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2Fshark_wx%2Fstatus%2F1861847216656195755%3Ft%3DVToEIAHSESOX90fk7tm_Fg26s%3D19

Patience...at my age? Naĥĥhhhhhh

Actually, ensemble snowfall means on all 3 jumped imby from being an inch+ for the last 4+ 360hr runs to between 2.5"-3+". Doesn't guarantee snow, of course, but odds have certainly increased, which is all you can hope for with ensemble means. Everything of consequence is day 7+, so that part still stinks.

Cold/dry patterns, as hard as they have been to come by lately, are a lot easier than snowy patterns. Cold without snow is more frustrating to me than just a lousy/warm pattern. But, others may disagree.

So we just don't know. Lol To be fair, it's hard to feel comfortable with any MJO forecasts past 7 days, and even that's a sttetch.

https://www.meteonetwork.it/models/mjo/ It's basically resulting 500mb plots from MJO in a particular phase based on Enso conditions. Certainly, nothing's a lock since other factors can and do influence the pattern. But it at least gives you an idea.

Are you saying those plots are flat out wrong or just offering criticism? Model trends are always important and all forecasts are subject to change. And yeah, lots can go wrong with any forecast, but are you saying it will or just musing?
