OKwx2k4 Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 @ Okwx, nice looking maps down there for ya, ey??? The coming 500mb pattern post 4th-6th system is going to carve out one deep trough across our sub forum. Things are going to get interesting. Yup. May be a December to remember for me. I'm ready for it! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minny_Weather Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 I don't see the 12z GFS being accurate in regards to the flow. It brings back that yucky Western ridge, which I think is kinda unrealistic. I'll buy it when I see more runs.

Niko Posted November 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 Man, looking at my December Outlook (10day that is) shows that temps really cool down quite a bit. I stand a good shot in not getting outta the 20s for highs. Lots of peeps on here will feel the December chill. Now, all we need is a storm to combine it with. Someone will get blasted.

Wow, we could really have fun with a pair like this, even adjusting for latitude In fact, as the first storm continues to weaken and push east through Monday another one will quickly move in behind it.

Tom Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 Known euro bias to park energy as a cutoff low over the southwest, keep this in mind.To add to this, unlike last year, the overall flow is much better as we have not seen cut-offs in the SW at all this Autumn. This year, we have seen “kickers” upstream to keep the flow moving. I also believe it’s all the blocking that’s screwing with the modeling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that weekend storm (call it the 11/25 storm) cycles thru the stream, what dates would that be? Is it 10-17 days, or is that the EAR?

I think the models are having major issues figuring out the pattern shift that lies ahead. What do you think?17-21 days...and EAR is 6-10 days later...I have found it's usually centered around 7-8 days using the EAR to forecast longer range patterns/storms. TBH, I think the models are just having a tough time figuring out what to do with the energy. I mean, we are talking about a storm that is still over a week away. It'll come back, just not sure about track this far out just yet. It may end up being a 2-part system with a northern cutter and then a secondary low along the boundary. Highly amplified patterns produce some wide range ideas at this range. FWIW, both 12z GEFS/EPS still hinting at a wintry solution for the Plains states for this system. I don't think we will get any consistency over the next few days. Some EPS members show big hits in NE/KS and even into parts of the Midwest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just more of the same northwest flow with quick hitting flurries and snow showers. Clipper type systems can sometimes overproduce in this NW flow and turn out to be a heck of a storm by tapping in on some GOM moisture and thats all it really takes to receive some appreciable accumulations. We just need the GOM to be open for business to tap in that moisture and then, we are in business as well.
