Lol yeah. I have no clue what some people are seeing. Basically every sign is pointing towards a cold outbreak.


Sort of like what happened in 2021 (not suggesting that specifically is on the table here) but the reaction from many "enthusiasts" along with a few local mets in my area even at that time was to dismiss that particular pattern potential/setup in favor of daily operational model runs (in that case the Euro) which obviously proved to be out to lunch right up until a few days before the event itself. I think all of us who were on this site then remember that daily contradiction similar to an extent with what the GFS has shown. Ensembles this far out are still your best bet as mets on this site have reinforced.

The big takeaway in my opinion is put your trust in those who have experience in the field and more importantly a track record of being able to recognize these pattern signals (despite the models) over someone doing a bit on a YouTube channel who might very well get an A in software graphics presentation, but beyond that it goes downhill quickly from there. Just saying.

Btw that's not to say that individual shouldn't get an "attaboy" for loving the weather (as we all do). I think as it relates to that aspect, I say more power to him but in the end verify your sources is all. Again, just my .02.

The CPC is slowly changing their tune. If only they wouldn’t weigh the GFS so much.

The difference between the GFS and the other models is insane. Their mindset will not go towards a cold wave unless the GFS decides to cave in towards the Euro and CMC.

Heat Miser (Wxman57) has not been here lately, I think he's working on the wall and messing with the models!

Exactly. They’re not gonna buy in till the GFS comes around.

If not, I hold you personally accountable.

If we have a silver lining with the stubborn -PNA, we also have a -NAO that refuses to become more positive.

I think we need to focus on the mjo and it's progression. I know there has been convection in IO, perhaps from a tropical system. I believe that's important because western hemisphere forcing is better than eastern hemisphere if you want a better opportunity at a cold pattern. Something we need to really focus on moving forward :eek:

SPC now has severe weather for the Southern Plains and parts of Dixie Alley on 12/12 and 12/13. This is getting weird!

All the major models agreeing on 500mb setup now. Big change starting early-mid week next week.

I didn’t even look at the models this morning when I woke up like I normally would because I was too scared they were gonna start changing because I wasn’t getting very good vibes yesterday by the lack of activity on here and couldn’t really find anyone else on social media talking about it either. Was getting the feeling that it was fading away.

I’m probably the only one that does that :lol:

It’s quiet because the front is a little less than 7 days away.

The fog is so bad out there this morning. Visibility is near 0 down here. Ridiculous.

I think that the 'Upgrade' messed up the GFS model for a while, but now it has settled down.

Maybe it’s just me being a natural pessimist. I suppose things will start to crank up around here and on social media soon.

From Anthony Masiello regarding MJO:

Another quick post, this time on the MJO:

The signal has not been a real MJO for the last couple of weeks. Instead, it's higher frequency waves (KW/ER) with extratropical feedback from the blocking patterns inducing the wind anomalies in the Tropics. The eastern hemisphere firing up this month was anticipated as instability from extratropical influence ignites Walker Cell uplift. What you're seeing on the plots ahead is the ER induced TCs on both sides of the IO equator. This signal carries well into extended range with ensemble mean CHI fields averaging negative here, esp. in the southern IO. However, the state of the W PAC is less clear on them so while averaging out it seems like a weak to no signal. The MJO however will emerge across the W PAC during second half of Dec once the TC situation is resolved. The intensification of the subtropical W PAC high is already underway within 1-2 weeks (with typhoon BTW) and this extends the N. Pac jet (and starts dropping the EPO). RMMs will look anemic when they have 1 signal continuing over the S IO and the other progressing over Indo/W. Pac. Stay level-headed during this process.
