Woke up at 57 degrees this morning, moderate rain on and off all morning.
I woke up around 1130 last night and thought I saw lightning, no rumbles though. Must have been that mothership scanning my locale.
I don't think its an awful look, its better than years past anyway. EAR and BSR could foreshadow a more active pattern in January? I assume the PAC could still be a bully. The terrible SE ridge hasn't shown up yet. Some operationals sniffing out a sneaky disturbance between the 19th-22nd too.
I use ensembles the most, average > one model run, that’s a no brainer. Grace posted the difference of one month between heights and it’s not even in the ball park.
I stopped looking at long term model outputs around late summer/fall. Look at those differences in Graces post, it’s just not worth the time diving into anything past day 7 lol. I can’t believe we had better shots at 14-21 days out on the accuweather forum 10-15 years ago.
BSR holds more value over LT and once the pattern changes over they’ve tended to stick for a while. I like our shot at a solid to good winter this year. Warm periods here and there are always expected and help moisture transits move around.
