Arctic Plunge on the way

Ensembles and teleconnections continue to support a major cold outbreak as we head into December. As mentioned back in October and stated again last week. Is that I continue to predict a major cold wave in December. If you remember back in the Winter Forecast I mentioned the year 1989 as one of the years showing up on the anomalies. Well we might challenge some of those records from 89' especially across the areas east of the Mississippi River. Here is the latest Arctic Oscillation which is showing it tanking negative as we head towards mid-month. Also the latest GFS ensemble which show well below normal heights with the upper level winds coming straight south from the North Pole. Keep checking back as I'll be posting a more detailed forecast for the Thanksgiving holiday and Upcoming Cold weather.
