Much of that area not even below 35 at all. Any winter weather will be from Tenn and the mountains of NC on to the north if this run is right. Why so cross on the merriest of seasons?

Come dine with us He always goes with the worst case scenario. Always. That's his internet schtick. Don't ask him to break character. Re: the EPO, I like it, but the thing to keep an eye on before getting too excited about it is that the tendency is for the core of the cold to get dumped into the Midwest, before slowly bleeding east. That can be fine and can lead to Miller B/mixy events for us, if other things cooperate also. We need to make sure the SE/Atlantic ridge isn't too strong, as it will deflect the influence of the -EPO. If we can truly get a -EPO, along with some blocking and a very weak to nonexistent SER, then we will likely have a very favorable pattern for wintry weather.

The PNA, AO, and NAO looks to be heading near neutral in the LR. The EPO is going negative(or at least it looks to be going negative). Maybe that's all it needs. I mentioned a period we had a few years back where all we had on our side was the EPO and it was able to produce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh baby. That's quite the (beautiful) turnaround by the CFS. I'm trying to keep expectations tempered, but I'm digging the power of positivity in here today! Definitely rooting for the -EPO to dominate the pattern and a little help to shift those colder anomalies from the Midwest to the east. Sure we'd love help from the Atlantic, but at this stage in time, can we really depend on it? Either way, the OVERALL TREND is...not bad...so we just gotta keep this mojo going!

Models are doing what they did in November with big swings. I really like the Euro. I know a lot of people are Doubting it but I think it sniffs this out. The GFS has been on hyperpole for quite some time in the mid to long range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackerel_sky Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 2 cold chasing moisture storms on LR GFS 12z! One about the 30th and another on the 6th! Not much excitement, but looks cold at the end and trough looks to be from the plains on east! Call that a win at this point! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the CFS flip too, sans the SER. Pack, if we get that EPO ridge to connect over the top (which would be a -AO as well) would it shunt that central CONUS ridge on over to the eastern US?

Nice North Atlantic thumb ridge. Too far east. Will let storms move too far to the NW with high pressure too far north into Canada. But that's just being picky at 10 days out!
