westMJim Posted November 27, 2020 Report Share Posted November 27, 2020 The last 10 years have not been good for a white Christmas at Grand Rapids. In the last 10 years Grand Rapids has only had snow on the ground 40% of the time with 2017 with 3" 2016 with 5" 2013 with 8" and 2010 with 2" All the other years had no snow on the ground for Christmas. At Grand Rapids the current 30 year average is 63% but that looks to go down with the next 30 year average. The average since 1963 is 67% and since 1950 64% and since records started at Grand Rapids 63% of the time Christmas has had snow on the ground so the last 10 years has shown a big drop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm diggin' the pattern that is setting up and the models seemingly are veering away from a blow torch December. Blocking is setting up shop in all the right places in the modeling. While the eastern and southern Sub will be the primary focus of action over the next 2 weeks, by the time we enter the Week of the 13th, Winter will settle in quite vigorously I believe and the Flow aloft will allow Arctic air to penetrate down across the central U.S. along with a nice southern stream jet. Check out the models thinking and provides us a potential glimpse of an action packed rally towards the Solstice and Holiday stretch....Dreaming of a White Christmas??? The LR clues continue to support the idea that Winter is coming and may be coming hard by the start of the 12th/13th....all eyes point towards eastern Siberia and the alignment of the PV will undoubtedly funnel arctic air into the pattern. Something I did notice from the Euro Weeklies is the displacement of the Polar Vortex into our side of the Pole towards the end of the month and into January. This may be an important piece to the puzzle as we flip the calendar into 2021. BTW, hope you all had a relaxing and enjoyable Thanksgiving with family and friends. Let the holiday season begin!

What I read in that is we get a good track next two weeks, but insufficient cold. Then, when cold makes it's appearance, the action will be where it was in October, west end of the Sub and we'll be on the warm side of their snow systems again. Do I have that right?

It's rather unusual to see so much snow being flashed on the ensembles way down in the deep south of OK/AR. 00z Euro Control..."outta control"... Alright, Alright, Alright...I'm tickled to share with you the data that shows we are heading in the right direction for real Winter to begin showing up across our Sub. Once we get past the 2nd winter storm of this month, we will begin to focus our eyes on a shift in the Flow aloft that will begin to usher in the seasons coldest air mass of the season. I've been dialing in on this pattern and I'm beginning to see a very close 30-day harmonic pattern or what may in fact be a 60-day LRC cycle. There are a lot of systems this season that look very similar to one another which was has been confusing to me of late, however, now as I see where this pattern is heading I think this could be a longer repeating LRC than usual. I'm really curious to hear what Gary Lezak has to say. If anyone of you near KC can chime in that would greatly appreciated. I know @Clintonsaid he's throwing out the idea of a 45 day cycle but not sure if he's still believing that. Anyhow, I'm going to comment more on my ideas of the LRC later today when I get to my other comp that has all the maps I have saved. In the meantime, one of the big signals I have been looking for was the modeling to show signs of shifting the Flow aloft from a stout +PNA towards a neutral one and we are now seeing that from the EPS and Canadian in the extended. Why do I believe those two models and not the GEFS??? Look at both the 30mb/50mb animations below and focus in on the region of W NAMER where the warm pool grows around Nov 9th for about a week, then turns colder, but still has a warm pool just offshore the coast of the U.S. This, to me, signals a northern stream pattern and systems digging into the SW creating a SW Flow aloft by the time we enter the 2nd weekend of December or the Week of the 13th. Notice also the warm pool that grows near the GOM and along the EC. This is a sign of a SER trying to grow, but I don't foresee it to be as strong as it was in October. The pop in the PNA pattern correlates well with the burst of the warm pool that starts around Nov 8th/9th in W NAMER. There is about a 3-week lag period to this LR forecasting tool I've been using. The GEFS model is forecasting an ideal signal at 10mb for Week 2 which portray's a noteworthy storm track right through our Sub. This should translate to a neutral PNA or even slightly negative pattern out towards Week 2. The signal for a SSW event in Siberia is NOT going away which are all good signs for later. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CentralNebWeather Posted November 28, 2020 Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 NWS Hastings, the bad news continues. Pending the outcome of the meandering upper low, temperatures should start to rebound next Friday and continue the trend into the next week. The 8-13 day period still looks mostly dry and likely warmer than normal. Anomalously warm temperatures will persist across most of Canada as upper high pressure ridges up into the prairie provinces. That essentially keeps any prolonged cold air out of area until possibly mid December. On top of that, if the midweek low pressure doesn`t bring precipitation to speak of, most of the region will likely be dry until mid December too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then....the following weekend is when we begin to see REAL Winter set up shop and the EPS is signaling what I've been planning on, that being, a storm system coming out of the Rockies and into the Plains/MW along an Arctic Front. This should be a fun period around the 11th-13th and could last for a couple or more weeks. 48 day cycle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted November 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 15 hours ago, Clinton said: 48 day cycle? I'll post some similarities I'm seeing in the models from our current system tracking through the S Plains, the next one diving directly S out of Canada late next week and then the pattern between the 9th-13th. I'm not 100% on this cycle just yet but I'm seriously leaning towards a 60-day cycle. Almost identical to last year's cycle length. I looked at the 40-day cycle you mentioned Gary is thinking and I cannot find a reason why that would be the case. I looked at several storm systems that we just experienced and they did not line up. Remember back in early October when I posted maps of troughs that tracked into Cali??? And when there was a period in early October where there was a cut-off trough near the Baja that swirled around and spun?? That part of the pattern is coming and the models are showing it in the extended. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd argue that the snow magnet was in the Twin Cities, and I got their scraps. 3 1 Quote Formerly *ahem*: LNK_Weather, TOL_Weather, FAR_Weather, MSP_Weather, IMoveALot_Weather.

Tom Posted November 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 Let's take a look back at what the Euro seasonal was forecasting for December...IMO, it's going to nail the blocking pattern in the N ATL/Greenland and in the SW, but the pattern near Alaska/NW NAMER will prob bust. Tomorrow night the new seasonal model run comes out and I'm really curious to see the new data. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
