Brian_in_Leavenworth Posted December 30, 2020 Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 Actually last nights EPS showed signs of the Jet in the Pacific slowing down in the long range. Since I am not used to looking at the jet in the EPS, maybe that is normal, due to less of a strong signal in the really long range, but it looked like a slowdown. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AbbyJr Posted December 30, 2020 Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 12 hours ago, Phil said: Maybe he’s referring to the period straight ahead where the SSW is still ongoing but the Pacific jet is screaming? Makes more sense to me. I wouldn’t expect direct effects from the SSW in the West until the MJO is triggered and leaves the IO, which is still 2-3 weeks away. Took about 3 weeks in 2019 too. When do you think the models will start to pick up on the post SSW pattern? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I am not used to looking at the jet in the EPS, maybe that is normal, due to less of a strong signal in the really long range, but it looked like a slowdown. That’s a complete inevitability. It’s pretty rare for a pattern like the one advertised in the mid range to persist more than 7-10 days. I suspect it has the right idea that ridging/higher heights will return as we head toward mid month after which ACTUAL retrogression smells like a good possibility. 3 Quote My preferences can beat up your preferences’ dad.

AlTahoe Posted December 30, 2020 Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 50 minutes ago, Phil said: Enjoy your zonal flow while it lasts. Soon it’ll be replaced by cold, continental flow. So serious question. Wouldn't the Polar vortex lobe depicted to be over Eastern Asia/Korea next week cause a amped up East Asian Jet stream. I feel like record cold meeting up with above normal SST's in the kuroshio current would get the EAJ screaming. So we would have the current EAJ extension through next week. Then maybe a 3-5 relaxing of it before it comes screaming back in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian_in_Leavenworth Posted December 30, 2020 Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 Listening to Ventrice, doubling down on prediction that the jet stream will relax, Western Canada will get cold, eventually leading to cold not only over the eastern US, but also the Pacific Northwest. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian_in_Leavenworth Posted December 30, 2020 Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 Ventrice thinks the models will start to change in the next 3-5 days. He said the weeklies from a few days ago "saw" the SSW event, and completely flipped the pattern at about week 4. He thinks the models will see a split in the PV. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The complete absence of the Canadian Archipelago cold pool is something to behold. Of course it’s technically a positive development, given its evacuation has almost always been a harbinger of significant, and prolonged, NH winter blocking. But it’s still weird to see, especially considering that region was the icebox of the NH for 5 years while everyone else torched.
