Tom Posted November 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 00z Euro still holding on to the idea of a TX Panhandle/Lower Lakes snowstorm early next week. @ Jaster, I tried to separate it for ya and the only option was a 24-hour snowfall map.

Tom Posted November 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 As Matthew McConaughey says, alright, alright, alright....over the past few days, we've been having the first legit long range battle of this cold season in the Week 2 range between the EPS/GEFS. Now, before I dive into the details, both models have had their hits and misses this season. First, it was the Euro which saw the cold coming in November before the GEFS finally caught onto the idea. IIRC, the GEFS were advertising a warmer look for this cold period back in late October. With that being said, here we are experiencing a wintery stretch for the next 10 days or so before the pattern flips (if you buy the Euro)....or...is it transient (if you buy the GEFS)??? Here are my thoughts and why I believe the GEFS may have the right idea. Firstly, I'm a big believer that the GEFS do a very good job sniffing out the Strat pattern in the Week 2 period, of which, they are suggesting another impulse that should perturb the Polar Vortex during Thanksgiving week and this will "seed" or "reload" major cold into NW/W Canada right before Thanksgiving. To the contrary, the EPS have been steadfast on the idea that a huge ridge builds across the central/eastern CONUS during this same period. It could be right, but IMHO, this season has not shown this type of pattern at all and I don't necessarily believe it. The pattern which has been evolving across the N PAC/Bearing Sea suggest otherwise. Around the 18th, I do feel the western ridge will build into the Plains/MW for a period and this will likely be a "reloading" period as we wait for the next system right around the 11/22 time period. I've mentioned this before, but I think this may be the early October system that is part of the opening days of the LRC. There was a massive system near the Aleutians back on Nov 1st-3rd that correlates with this potential storm date. In essence, I'm thinking we will see the beginning of LRC cycle #2 during this period. Everything that I'm seeing off the GEFS matches up to the pattern we saw in early October when western Canada loaded up with early season cold and there was a NE PAC ridge that built up as well....a pattern similar to a La Nina flavor. Speaking of La Nina, today's JMA weeklies are actually hinting of that same idea as well. Look at the EC ridge, western trough, and NE PAC ridge. All of this makes sense to me and why I believe that Thanksgiving week will be a crucial one to see if we are indeed going to re-cycle into the same pattern we saw in early October. http://ds.data.jma.go.jp/tcc/tcc/products/model/map/1mE/map1/img/R14_3/Y201811.D0712_gl0.png Temps during the Week 3-4 period show the warmth potential...you can see the cold building in NW NAMER from this model and a likely battle ground setting up across the central CONUS. http://ds.data.jma.go.jp/tcc/tcc/products/model/map/1mE/map1/img/R14_3/Y201811.D0712_gl2.png Lastly, here's a map from Dr. Cohen showing the wave pulse late in Week 2....this is bigly and timely for the Thanksgiving week reloading period. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted November 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 For comparison reasons, check out both the GEFS/EPS forecasts for Thanksgiving as they are starting to hone in on the building NE PAC ridge, western trough, alongside Canadian ridging which will help aid blocking HP's across Canada seeding cold into the lower 48 pattern.

Tom Posted November 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 The signal is there, about 10 days ago, the GEFS "saw" the possibility of a pulse of energy transfer across Eurasia and it's "seeing" it again during the same longer range period. Below is the map showing the pulse which is ongoing across Eurasia.... Looking out ahead, this is the same type of signal it saw in late October for the aforementioned Week 2 period that is forthcoming.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted November 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 Gosh, I don't know where to begin this morning as I'm both excited to see the snow falling, as well as, the trends in the models for Week 2. With the landscape transformed this morning, Winter has arrived here in Chicago. Everything is coated in snow and the remaining leaves on some of the trees are falling off quickly. By the end of this weekend, I'd imagine almost all the trees will be bare from the strong winds later today and I could finally perform my last rake of the season later next week. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted November 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 Confidence is growing that the tail end of Thanksgiving week, Winter is going to lock and rock, setting the stage for a memorable winter. A Turkey Day warm up is in the cards and some places will get a welcomed "brief" taste of Indian Summer before mother nature puts down the hammer. Not only the GEFS, but the Canadian is seeing a similar scenario organizing Week 2 in the Strat, which has lead us to our ongoing cold stretch. I've had a long standing date in mind, centered around 11/22, where the pattern may begin re-cycling. Not only is this important, but some of the models are showcasing an ominous sign the Strat is going to deliver some intriguing signs for extreme cold to close out the month. Check out the GEPS/GEFS Strat forecasts on Thanksgiving Day.... Both models are catching onto the idea of a perturbed Polar Vortex and funneling extreme cold into North America. At 500mb, both models are aligning with a Cross Polar flow and another key component is organizing, the Scandinavian Ridge, which, if you remember, was an impactful force which lead to the "Polar Vortex Split" later in the season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this time the flake size is rather large and I have just over 0.7" of snow on the snow board. The grass, car and roof tops are covered and areas where there are a lot of fallen leaves on the road are also snow covered, But the road and driveways are just wet. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niko Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 In regards to next weeks system, it looks iffy on whether the storm on the EC will come close enough to clip the SEMI area. Per NOAA:A low will develop over the southeast US and deepen as it tracksthrough the eastern seaboard on Tuesday. The Euro and Canadiansolutions continue to give a chance for the northwest extent of thesnow shield to clip our southeastern counties, but the GFS remainssteadfast in holding the system`s precip off to the east.
