[dmillz25 5,993]

Getting closer and closer to winter guys!

Look how close to the 02/03 analog we are running in the early going.

 

Nov is about a week displaced but those SSTs are giving you the same signature.

@PB GFI can you check out my post in the October thread...thanks

We look to open November AN and then wait to see if a turn back to cooler materializes.

After we open November AN , look for the first real cold outbreak to the season to center itself in the UMW / GL and then extend east around the 10th.

The Control run although a low res product is what could happen as Canada is snow covered so the anomalies could get forces under and create some decent deviations from normal.

The new gfs has 3 coastal lows throughout the run.

I agree with this, I am not really a fan of any extreme cold/snow prior to mid November. After that its all good.

Yeah and considering the average high temps around here are still in the mid 50's for the middle of the month, we should never really expect much yet.

nother soaker on the way, 18z EPS, 1 inch or greater PROB

Pretty sick 180 knot upper level jet streak over the region early Saturday morning. Parts of eastern PA and western NJ could be in for some very heavy showers and thunderstorms. 

 

[Rtd208 812]

The 12z GFS looks pretty wet from Thursday night thru Saturday morning at least. Looks like an active period moving forward with another storm around Tuesday/Wednesday of next week. 

[Allsnow 22,460]

At the end of next week we should see a decent cold shot after the cutter. It will produce temps the lowest they been since last winter

You daily solar update Gents!!

Can we get past unlucky #13?? - 61 more days left 

only 7 out of the 31 days had sunspots this month  - from the buildup last year through this year wonder why we are seeing a spike in geomagnetic activity (Volcanic eruptions and EQ's??)

Seems like there is a signal for a storm with more cold to work with around that timeframe.

Day 9 - 13 matches the EPS , the flip has been there for a few days now.

 

 

But where the EPS flattens the ridge and starts to torch the CONUS by day 14 / 15 , the GEFS  keeps the cold coming
