The latest JMA weeklies are trending even better from last week for the inevitable pattern flip towards real winter for the rest of our Sub. Those that have been on the sidelines, things are lining up for the end of DEC into JAN as I'm sure ya'll are yearning for some winter storms. Heck, the Week 2 is not looking that bad overall...not a blow torch by any means for those near the GL's and OHV.
Week 2...
Week 3-4...
Precip & Temp...That's a really good looking precip signal for the Heartland...
Judging by the lack of yellow across the Eastern CONUS, this is a very cold signal bc I know from past experience how this model works in the LR.
I had around 4.5" measured this morning, so fairly similar. Most schools are closed. I love the cold temps and snow. I wish they didn't treat the roads with salt at these temps. Just makes everything slushy and slicker. Crunchy snow and sand has good traction.
Unfortunately, like you said we will push 50 and rain by monday. So another two days of winter will be a quick memory. On to the next one.
Previous promising signs for the end of the month are evaporating. Ensemble trend is towards an expansive and more eastward GOA low which then pumps up ridging in south-central Canada. The unsurprising result is warmer and drier than normal weather for all of us. While I don't think this says anything about January, which probably is still going to be improved over this month, I'm about ready to write off the rest of December the way things are looking.
