Acer 721 Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 At the 500MB level we are two weeks away from a favorable pattern. At the 850 MB level we are still looking for some cold air at that time. I didn't see any 850 temps below -5 on the 18Z operational even with the pattern reset at 384 hours. We have often in the past seen a good 500 MB pattern not really produce the goods. Maybe I'm just being a negative weenie but maybe we should find a pair of glasses with a little less rosy tint to them. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not that looking at the long wave pattern at that range is a considerably better idea, but there is at least some skill there. It’s not the same as chasing weeklies or phantom “blocks” as was happening throughout December. There is at least bit of a signal for a significant pattern change (ridging followed by some manner of retrogression) in the long range.

AbbyJr 454 Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 I just wanted to remind everyone that this upcoming pattern change is expected around January 20th at the very earliest. That is still 15 days away. SSW is still in progress so models will struggle. Expect a lot of flip flopping and try not to get emotionally invested in any given solution this far out. That said, trends for the most part are in our favour but details are still very much unclear at this point. 1 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I’m getting more encouraged we can actually get some type of Arctic blast before winter is over after seeing all of the ensembles.

I'm sure WW2 a lot of this kind of thing occurred once enough people woke up to what's happening and shifted the balance. It also happens during extreme droughts historically ending when people have gotten together to help shift the balance which sometimes works too well.
