Some professional forecasters have hinted at a VERY COLD arctic outbreak coming our way. While true it will be getting somewhat colder, don't buy into the hype that we may see lows in the minus 20° to minus 30° degree range. The operational runs of the ECMWF and their ensembles strongly hint that the cold air will be bottled up to our NW. Even though the GFS operational has been showing lows of around -25° to -30° for the same time period, their ensemble mean is strongly aligned with the Euro and its ensembles means of keeping the coldest air to our northwest.randyinchamplinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07607833493422286368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3483614767822693875.post-87972433554999971462020-01-10T16:53:02.372-06:002020-01-10T16:53:02.372-06:00Thanks for asking that, Tim.
