It will start this season, the second half, and go wild to close out the decade. 

Honestly, I think a way CC can help is you'll get these mega juiced systems when the longwave pattern lines up correctly....you'll have some season where it goes bonkers (ala 2015 in E MA)....all the extra moisture just getting freight-trained into New England with a cold dome overhead.

This will be a good weekend for shoveling the accumulated dogshit in the back yard.  Three dogs and two weeks of snow cover.  It will be a lot!

Lips and hips played on your blue tooth speaker while you  shovel?

Looking at the extended on the EPS you normally would think that offers something. 

A little bit of Wilton on that look late in the game (after maybe a few shots at a coastal in the D10-13 range)....some people might get a little scared of the orange colors at H5 getting close to NE, but that is a frigid northern tier look with that WPO/AO domain look.

It's been a pretty big switch this year with the WPO keeping on wanting to revert to a big negative phase. Last year, we were able to break the streak of it being largely positive, but it was still not strongly negative....it was enough with the -EPO to give us slightly BN temps. 

 

But this year, we had a raging -WPO much of December, and even when it flipped early here in January, it quickly wants to set up shop again next week.

Until the warmth from the CC outpaces the cold and you end up with rain from a benchmark track. That is coming sooner than we think

Lol when I was 7 in 1964 in mid winter it rained with an offshore track. Do some research before you post.

I saw freezing fog as part of my forecast too. That should be fun in the morning.

lol you know you can get rain when a benchmark track now, right? and like 10 years ago? where do these people come from 

We had multiple BM track rainstorms in January 1958. A lot of people are very ignorant of weather history....but that is my forte, so it's easy to push back on. Multiple things can be true at once (which is also hard for many)....you can be warming, but also not have every event be some new shocking paradigm. Places like interior New England are likely never warming enough to become a DCA/BWI climate....perhaps that happens to NYC at some point....but even that could be a stretch.

Exactly. The Rubber band is being stretched further and further, when it snaps back…boom.

Listen bro…you sound like a young silly kid?  I don’t know if that’s true or not, but you don’t know what the F you’re talking about. So reign in the BS, or stay in the NYC forum.

Everyone's hung up on phasing for some reason... 

I was under the impression this 15th ish was Miller A   

Those aren't phases usually until the get past our latitudes;  the clio on Mill As is that they get captured near NS or NF and then we see why Baffin Island is basically just big bald barren rock.   

personally I haven't seen much evidence that this was going to be a subsume or any other type of phasing ?

So I'm looking for the 15th S/W spacing and it's not even in our hemisphere until 30+ hours ... that circle in the top left half way to Japan appears to trace.

Yeah, about as close to 100% chance that this things going to morph all over hell and gone before we need to worry about it

Actually... "DE"phasing is more the problem ... the flow splitting because the +PNA ridge is biased west is actually blanketing the entire region down stream over the continent in a negative interference - it's just another form of shear stressing
