If you use this url you will see the
current 144 hour MRF forecast...500mb Heights:

grads.iges.org

As you can see, on the current run the wavelenth
of that ridge is exceptionally long, so it is sure
to retrograde. This current solution does begin to
indicate subtle retrogression out around day ten
(not available on the iges server) so that would
be right around the end of the month.

We may see exceptionally cold air pour into the northern
half of the western and central U.S. around the first
week of January if the ridge retrogrades and amplifies.
Tropical convection in the Central and Eastern Pacific
has finally petered out--so the pattern typical of
"La Nina" may finally kick in. I think it has good chance
--put a coke on it last night that the change in the solutions
with time would be more wintery after a few more runs...
Even if Yukon air doesn't plunge south toward Washington around
New Years, maybe a nice 'quasistationary' polar low over Alberta,
I'd settle for that. (mets love to say that word, quasistationary)

Dprog/Dt gave me a bad signal a few days ago however, but
that is fine--I'm mostly on the Aviation/Marine shift this
next week, persistence will be a very good forcast for the
airports, heheh. Fog--It will set up tonight at Sea-Tac...
