snow_wizard Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 Insanely wet, my driveway is underwater. 43F. Sure hope we get handsomely rewarded for two straight months of rain almost every single day. Today reminds me of 1990 for some reason. Indeed. As I've stated before extremely wet Oct / Nov combinations almost always lead to good things later on. Quite a correlation there. 1 Quote Death To Warm Anomalies!

IbrChris Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 It looks great. The updated run of the 12z GFS shows a Mammoth North Pacific Block at Day 15. It might be a little too far west but the exact placement will surely change. The most important thing is the Block. Yeah that's not a great pattern at face value...too far west Quote The Pacific Northwest: Where storms go to die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEA actually had a high below 50 yesterday. Well I would hope. If we remained as warm as the first half of the month we would be looking at monthly temps 10-15 degrees above average. As it stands now 5-7 is looking like a good bet. PDX is a lock for warmest November on record now with every day basically overachieving by 2-3 degrees over the past week.

snow_wizard Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 We need something mild enough to scour out the low levels too. Have to appease the warmth gods. I think we have pretty much seen the end of it. The only comparable period is the early 1940s. Nice to know it has happened before. In a weird sort of way this ultra torch November coming after a reasonably cool late June through October (at least from a 500mb / 850mb perspective) is a good sign since November often runs opposite of the other months of the year.
