Very wet signal for BC/WA with no reprieve from drought in California.
A cold Alaska would set BC up well as we go into winter.

Happy November! Remember DST ended so models come out an hour earlier. Score! This is what I like to see

Re: November 2020 Forecasts and Discussions
Very wet next week and then very dry with chilly surface temperatures. Sounds ok with me.
No early ski season though.

It's called clown range for a reason.

Re: November 2020 Forecasts and Discussions
A N-S gradient would have suggested otherwise but the ridge is nosing further east with each run which would put us into a major stagnant airmass by next Sunday. Cold air dumping into the Praries. Wouldn't be surprised if future runs plant that ridge directly overhead.Rubus_Leucodermis wrote: ↑Sun Nov 01, 2020 7:43 am Persistent fog and inversions are always a possibility with such a set-up.

Re: November 2020 Forecasts and Discussions
We shall see. It seems as if every time I anticipate the development of persistent inversion conditions, it does not materialize.wetcoast91 wrote: ↑Sun Nov 01, 2020 8:17 am A N-S gradient would have suggested otherwise but the ridge is nosing further east with each run which would put us into a major stagnant airmass by next Sunday.

Then again, I shouldn’t feel so bad about it. Inversions give the pros headaches, too.

Re: November 2020 Forecasts and Discussions
You need a pretty anomalously warm airmass setup overhead to establish any type of meaningful inversion. There is really no sign of that happening any time soon in any of the ensembles. Maybe the models are wrong but maybe they aren’t.
