Updated Update

Just when they ruin my Thanksgiving with a warm December forecast, they do an about face and tease me with the chance of a slightly different twist on what to expect in the next couple of weeks!

Here is the latest...........

There is still debate on whether it is going to be colder than normal or just seasonally could in December. Either scenario is completely different than the forecasts that came out just three days earlier. This is GREAT NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Several forecasters commented that in Oct they expected the HEART of the cold air would be centered over the Western Great Lakes, the Upper Mississippi Valley and the Plains...........that thought has returned. Their explanation for the warm Dec forecast was the surge in intensity of El Nino leads to just that 9 out of 10 times. But, apparently this is going to be that 1 time in 10! Oh yeah!

What changed to make such a stunning turnaround? Seems that we are about to see a jet stream change. The powerful Pacific Jet is about to be replaced by a split jet which will set the stage for the Arctic Jet and the Subtropical Jet to become prominent. This being said, we have a great opportunity to see some cold air early and some snow later as the Arctic Jet provides the cold air and the SubTropic Jet provides the moisture............

LET THIS SCENARIO PLAY OUT AND IT WILL BE A GREAT START TO THE SEASON!!!!
