Rubus Leucodermis Posted November 22, 2022 Report Share Posted November 22, 2022 Just now, Brian_in_Leavenworth said: Unfortunately it doesn't show surface temps, just anamolies, and I don't trust anomaly maps, since I don't think these ensemble maps have a good idea of what normal is (for example, I have seen maps from the operational that would show a high temp in Wenatchee of 25, and the anomaly map shows it 5-10 degrees ABOVE normal, instead of the 10-12 degrees BELOW normal that it is). And it doesn't show 925s for the ensemble. Weatherall maps might, since weathermodels.com is cheaper than Weatherbell I actually have a WB account but I'm on my work computer right now which doesn't have my WB login info saved. Will have to do the model sanity checks this evening (assuming clown range is still clowning like that, of course). 3 It's called clown range for a reason.

RentonHill Posted November 22, 2022 Report Share Posted November 22, 2022 9 hours ago, Kayla said: The late November period reminds me of the early November shot. Little bit too much over water trajectory and not a ton of cold air to work with. Still some lowland snow opportunities but not a region wide event. I think the early December period is the one to watch as the NAPC block continues to hold and build which allows the cold air source to really expand and eventually allows the Arctic air to seep southward in a more continental direction. At least that's how I see it unfolding at this point. I think second week of December may be realistic. EPS shows a lot of cold air going west and east and eventually builds in more east coast blocking. Just need to hold the NAPC block until then? That’s my very uneducated guess. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gradient Keeper Posted November 22, 2022 Report Share Posted November 22, 2022 Based upon everything I've seen with the 12z suite this morning, especially noting the nice improvements on the EPS, I would say it looks like we're a step closer to a prolonged cold pattern to me. I would like to edge the block a small notch to the east, but not much then we'd just be bitterly cold with no shortwave/bc sliders and thus no moisture. Right now the 500mb pattern is nearly ideal, but a bit more amplification would be okay. We'll know in 48-72 hours if we're going to be chilly with low snow levels and perhaps cold offshore flow, or if we see a legit blast. 18z GFS in 1 hour 10 minutes 00z GFS in 7 hours 10 minutes 00z ECMWF in 9 hours 20 minutes 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cascadia_Wx Posted November 22, 2022 Report Share Posted November 22, 2022 12z EPS hints at a pretty prolonged period of cooler than normal temps after the Thanksgiving ridge. Which itself was looking like it could produce some warm temps just a few days ago but now appears to stay relatively cool at the surface. The shot of cool air behind today’s system helps with that. 7 Summer grows while Winter goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
