instead of just making these bold statements - please back it up with some proof......

How are these bold statements ? People have been talking about Christmas and NYE for a while on here.

 

Models are showing some flakes for Christmas eve. Nothing big though.

Every model and their ensembles have a storm near NYE. Too early to say what it will be but there is a good chance of snow with that. ( alot of cold air around )

This is  the 12Z GFS para for New Years Eve - your turn ..…….

Why are you looking at an op run this far out? 

Ensembles are the way to go and they have a signal.

I can't post pictures from my phone for some reason .

The signal is there. That's all I have to say. Believe and think what you want but I'm tracking that possible storm with others on other forums.

a complete analysis of the pattern, not just one run of an erratic not yet released model shows ridiculous potential for new years.  It's a signal that is only growing stronger.  And an east based -NAO has been one of the best producers on the east coast for years, include bad pac patterns @bluewave

 

agree on all points

Isotherm thinks the 27th still might trend south

There is s chance but slim.

We need the pattern to reshuffle and it looks like that may happen by the new year.

very unlikely - the pattern will remain the same until 2 - 3 weeks after the peak of the Strat Warming event - 2nd week of January at the earliest we will see the results at the surface...…..

The SE Ridge will continue to be a factor  until we see some improvement on the MJO front.

Those high heights have HP underneath them, so the 2M are BN all next week. You will prob see that cut but New Years could end up like the Super Bowl storm from 3 years ago.

 

You are going to press and Arctic front through on the backside of that last SW and LP will prob want to run along the Arctic Boundary.

 

This time you`re going to do that with blocking , so you have a higher ceiling for this one.

 

Even though these heights are high , take a look at the same EPS anomalies for Mon - Thrs , they are BN

Pattern gets better after this weekends cutter , the EPS is BN all week next week with a poss light snow event just N and W . The last in a series of cutters is likely around the 27/28 , ( prob not strong - gets shredded ) and then by New Years you snow.

8-14 DAY OUTLOOK FOR DEC 28, 2018 - JAN 03, 2019 

TODAY'S MODEL ENSEMBLE MEANS ARE IN FAIR AGREEMENT ON THE PREDICTED 500-HPA 
CIRCULATION PATTERN DURING THE 8-14 DAY PERIOD. MODERATELY AMPLIFIED PATTERN IS 
FORECAST WITH RIDGING AND ABOVE NORMAL 500-HPA HEIGHTS FAVORED IN THE 
SOUTHEASTERN CONUS, WHILE TROUGHING AND BELOW NORMAL 500-HPA HEIGHTS ARE 
FORECAST IN THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHWESTERN CONUS. UPSTREAM, RIDGING IS FORECAST 
TO DEVELOP FROM THE NORTHWESTERN CONUS TO EASTERN MAINLAND ALASKA WITH ABOVE 
NORMAL 500-HPA HEIGHTS FROM NORTHERN CALIFORNIA TO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. 

ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES ARE FAVORED ACROSS MUCH OF THE EASTERN CONUS IN 
ASSOCIATION WITH RIDGING
. BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES ARE FAVORED  OVER MUCH OF 
THE CENTRAL AND WESTERN CONUS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF TROUGHING. ABOVE NORMAL 
TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST FOR MUCH OF SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL ALASKA, THE 
ALEUTIANS, AND THE PANHANDLE DUE TO SOUTHERLY FLOW AND RIDGING. NEAR TO BELOW 
NORMAL TEMPERATURES ARE FAVORED FOR PARTS OF THE NORTHERN MAINLAND DUE TO THE 
INFLUENCE OF TROUGHING ALONG THE WEST COAST OF MAINLAND ALASKA. 

ENHANCED PROBABILITIES OF ABOVE NORMAL PRECIPITATION ARE INDICATED FOR THE 
SOUTHERN PLAINS EXTENDED TO THE EASTERN CONUS NEAR AND AHEAD OF MEAN TROUGHING. 
BELOW NORMAL PRECIPITATION IS FAVORED FOR CALIFORNIA AND EXTENDING TO PARTS OF 
THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN ROCKIES UNDERNEATH NEAR TO ABOVE NORMAL 500-HPA 
HEIGHTS. ABOVE NORMAL PRECIPITATION IS LIKELY FOR ALASKA AHEAD OF A TROUGH 
PRODICTED OVER THE BRING SEA.

EPS friend -Day 10 - 15 are much colder than this 7 day mean 

See the EPS day 10 -15 .

At least today, the storm near the start of January looks to be colder than the one around the 28th. But I would like to see if it survives the recent colder storm getting pushed back effect first.
