Early signs of the progression to a favorable pattern is now appearing...makes sense given we're now in the first days of January on these LR ensembles. Everyone should just enjoy the holidays and by New Years we will have better things to talk about. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AfewUniversesBelowNormal Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 That's what I'm talking about on the 18z GFS. If the storm hangs back a little bit, it could end as snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Oh wow, weeklies look amazing and the good pattern sets in week 3 and never leaves. Strongest -nao signal I've ever seen on the weeklies. I'll post a few images shortly. 12 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Weeklies begin to get good around the 10th, and then go completely awesome beyond that, straight through until the end. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 It's plenty good well before this panel but the neg nao is literally on fire going into Feb. If global ens start looking like the week 3 progression then it's a pretty good sign and not far away... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We appear to start breaking in the right direction already and that's only in a couple weeks. I agree about weeks 4-6 being crazy talk but if the week 3 looks fills in with the eps/gefs over the next week then I'm going to get kinda excited... Could be the real deal here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psuhoffman Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Everything started fine. But right now the mjo and soi spike are temporarily running interference. Neither of those things will last. When they come off we should resume our regularly scheduled modoki nino programming. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the seasonal and sub seasonal guidance looks identical. And they look exactly like a composite of the analogs. And there are current indications the PV is in big trouble. There are reasons to believe this more than just because the euro says so. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice that at least the 24-26th will be the coldest days of that stretch. Anything to avoid another 60F+ around Xmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite frankly...I'm more worried about the random stuff than the right look materializing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's good to see the negative height anomalies getting out near the Aleutians in the weeklies, and NOT in the Gulf of AK. I can deal with a couple of meh weeks the rest of this month and keep an eye on a transition to something a lot better as we get into January. Only exception is that I've about had it with the 2-day rain-fests. Christmas may not be white, but dammit, at least let's have it be dry and not a miserable washout like this past weekend (and again later this week)! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
