All I have to say is...
It's fools gold. Bite at your own peril. If the last "winter storm" wasn't proof enough that the models are clueless that far out and not only lost the storm but lost the intense cold too. In fact the snow we had almost 2 weeks ago offered colder daytime highs than what we'll see this weekend and early next week.

I know I may be in the minority, but I am enjoying this warm SE Texas weather. It's beautiful outside, what else can I say....days like today make me glad I don't live up north.

Yeah I’m the exact opposite. This weather is disgusting in December. This weather is “nice” if it happened in August.jasons wrote:I know I may be in the minority, but I am enjoying this warm SE Texas weather.

Truth.
18Z rolling in. Get your popcorn ready. Its already slower with the New Years-ish cold blast. But with a deeper western trough than the 12z.

Well the 18z brings some cold, but nothing too out of the ordinary and no frozen precip. Probably alot closer to reality than the 12z.

Keep projecting the cold. We'll catch up to that hour 240 mark at some point this winter.

Just a guy sweating in my deer stand

Truth.
Some of those analog dates got cold like in 1962, 1063, 1983, and 1989.srainhoutx wrote:Winter officially starts tomorrow and we already have seen a couple of inches of snow. We still have at least 2 to 3 months of cold weather potential.
Just took a peak at the shorter range versions of the NAM (32km/12km/3km). Look at the 500mb vorticity charts at hour 54. Those closed 500mb charts look somewhat like what wxman57 posted a week ago when the GFS showed that vort near El Paso and had totally disappeared from the recent week worth of Global models. Remember is never wise to fully trust those model beyond a couple of day particularly in Winter.
Also the morning Day 8+ Analogs:
Um...have ya'll seen the CMC?

That 12z Canadian deserves consideration for the model insanity hall of fame. Go home CMC you're drunk.
Crazy Uncle as it may be, it nailed our snow event here in Louisiana two weeks ago. LOL!
Might be a silly question but could La Nina be a reason for the models to be acting like they are on crack or something? They can't seem to get 2 runs in a row to look the same.....

My hunch is the Global Models are having fits with a very persistent low pressure gyre situated over Eurasia and portions of Eastern Siberia. The models have tried to break that pattern down and as of yet, it is holding strong. That is just one of many factors including tropical forcing across the Pacific as well as the MJO and lack of any meaningful cold air across our Source Regions. Looking at the teleconnection indices, there continues to be some "hints" of a somewhat favorable pattern for delivering cold air down South and there are a couple of Tropical Storms brewing in the Western Pacific, but time will tell of the Indices and the impacts of those tropical disturbance will even have a meaningful impact in the week ahead. Meanwhile expect freezing temperatures mainly along and North of I-10 Christmas Eve night into Christmas Morning with slightly below climatology temperature wise Sunday through next Tuesday. At least it will 'feel' a little like Christmas.snowman65 wrote:Might be a silly question but could La Nina be a reason for the models to be acting like they are on crack or something?
