Dr. Ryan Maue alerts us of this forecast via his Twitter feed:
ECMWF 12z drops cold hammer on NW and Western US in 7-10 days. Trending much colder…
Here’s the forecast graphic:
~ 20 degrees below normal for those sections of the USA For balance, Nature has provided a nice +20 warm patch in Siberia too.
UK is predicted a heatwave for next week.
Makes you wonder if this global temperature matters to anyone in any practical sense.
That model did the same thing about a week ago.
Has the Arctic Vortex formed yet?
I agree, here in CA, snow in SF would really be a signal! Bring it on!
Looking forward to the Icicles hanging from my nostrils!!!
The map at the top is for 850 hPa (roughly about a mile up) and in Celsius degrees. It is not a surface forecast map. Compare, for example, NWS for Bismarck, ND for next Thursday – expecting a low in the lower 30s (F). Still, stay tuned.
I hope Al isn’t coming to Florida. My plant’s aren’t ready for an early frost.

Pick ’em green, slice and fry in butter. Delicious.
Classic PNA- pattern phase.
Until last year these graphics were free Dr. Ryan Maue . I loved http://policlimate.com/weather/current/gfs_dyntrop_nh.html
I know you also have to make a living. Too bad I do not buy anything over the internet.
Oh wait, how can that be? I thought all that open Arctic ocean water was supposed to prevent that? Where can cold air come from now?
We’re all doomed I say, doooomed…

The subscription is worth every penny. I tried to go without for a while but Ryan’s model runs are invaluable. And you are correct, he does have to earn a living and I am happy to oblige.
