48°F with a 45°F wind chill at 3am, headed to 76°F this afternoon, which will be in record territory. The standing record high is 77°F, set in 1917,1950&1985!
1st Clipper of the season over Minnesota this morning.
Ignoring the Sharp front for Christmas for a second.... Seeing something for end of month around 29th...
Canadian showing a storm heading towards the Great lakes then transferring to a coastal storm. Note where it has the high pressure here compared to the Euro below. If this is the scenario and that storm transfers to the coast south of Philly we'll have a snowstorm in the Northeast (if temps support it)
Here's the Euro...... No storm heads to Great Lakes. It focuses on one storm with the Southern Jet Stream and exits North Carolina. Note where the High is. Even though its leaving fast, it has Arctic air with it. Similar setup as last weeks.
Ignore the temps right now (which is warm on the Euro, its 8 days away). Lets figure out the pieces of the puzzle first and see what the trend is next couple days
Not impressed at all looking at today's model runs, GFS is already indicating that the +PNA being negated by the nonstop storm track into western Canada which is throwing a wrench into the jet stream pattern leading to a lack of any sustained cold air at even northern latitudes above 45 degrees in the US. La Nina influenced winters are just incredibly aggravating IMO.
Well any chance of snow is pretty much gone. It's downright criminal to have a low of 24, high of 35 Christmas day and then a low of 22, all without any snow. All that rain Thursday while it's in the 50s.

KPDK's lowest high on Christmas is 40. We'll beat that by 5 degrees or so. It wasn't that long ago we hit 76 on Christmas. Would much rather have that if we're not getting any snow.

With no snow on the ground for Toronto, it will really come down to the last hour whether we'll get a White Christmas...
Forecast calls for 5C and rain on Christmas Eve, dropping to -5C and snow overnight. The question is when will it transition and how much snow after transitioning?
Other than Christmas Day having highs only in the low 20s, not much impressive in the upcoming forecast. Rain Wednesday looks to move out before cold air can change much to snow. Not really expecting any snow accumulations before precipitation ends Thursday morning. So it looks once again like there will be no white Christmas for us.
