Hangs around for the next day and then 60’s and outside weather the following. I would never survive in the NE. I like tracking, like watching it fall. Then I want life back to normal. I do want to end our sub 10” season drought ASAP. I'm just hoping to end my sub 1" season drought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are in a nina...it has to come...or does it It's interesting period we're entering. The warmth this week will be fairly brief but it's going to feel like Hawaii after the last couple weeks. What was originally going to be a brief cool down next week now looks like a 3-4 day window that "could" produce something with a legit Jan air mass. Then it looks like another repeat late next week with another fairly abrupt warm up but ens guidance is already starting to show that will be pretty brief too. While the shuffle happens in the conus it really does look like a legit -ao is going to try to form. Yea, I know...I know....believe it when we see it but this signal is getting kind of strong. It starts inside of 10 days and it's showing up on the ens means way out at the end of their runs. Is this one for real? Let's assume it is for a minute.... My guess is the upcoming -pna/+epo period is going to be short lived and the pac will go back to the base state we've seen all winter so far. At least in some form. Probably not identical to the way we've been in the ice box but favorable for cold in North America in general. Add in a -ao and shorter wavelengths that start showing up as we enter February and there's a reason for cautious optimism. Some winters that hit hard with cold early flip a switch and never come back. Other ones take a break and reload. I was concerned about a long term flip to warm last week but I'm starting to change my mind. I have a hunch by the end of this week we're going to be talking about how good the long range looks. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red1976Red Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 This has good potential, better than cold and dry. May help areas that have not seen a lot of snow this winter. Something to watch this week instead of the thaw! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Bob! You can already see the GEFS bringing cold back in the plains quicker the past few runs. I thought it would be early Feb by the time we got back into a -EPO/+PNA pattern again but GEFS sure is trying to get there a little quicker.

Southern Track Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 The good looking PNA we had for next week’s potential was more muted on the 12z GFS so the precipitation cut well West like the Euro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FallsLake Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 There are a lot of things (indices, LR models, inevitable flip to warm that usually happens, etc.) that say we're now going to be warm(er) for a while. Hopefully we can turn the tables by the end of the month. So I guess I'll say it; fab February will save us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red1976Red Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I would like to see some much warmer temps in the 60s, that usually bodes well for a major storm potential in the winter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They use these dark orange and red colors to give the impression that the word is on fire but the truth is, if that dark red up around Siberia makes it into the lower 48 they'll have to make a new shade of blue to show temperature departure from normal. It's all relative I guess idk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
