11-14-19 European Weekly Analysis

Agriculture, Becks, Energy
Good Evening!  Here is your latest European Weekly Analysis.  Have a blessed day!  -Matt HD Link (11-14-19 EWA) Newest European Weeklies came in warm for weeks 3, 4, and 5.  This seems to be a common theme for the EPS weekly as it consistently hints at a warm week 3, 4, and 5.  As stated from our previous reports, we are anticipating a colder than normal December and do not agree with the EPS weeklies.  Our research continues to suggest that we should see increased midlatitude blocking and therefore colder temperatures across the eastern US.  Our thoughts on a colder…

Today's video: https://youtu.be/NeS8EZgAcVc PDF report (click link to the right to open in HD): 11-14-19 Long-range analysis Key Points: Quiet pattern for much of the CONUS in the week 1 period.  We anticipate the further into week 2 we go the more potent impacts from the –NAO will become. This is one of the reasons we remain much cooler than the EPS. With the MJO working back into 8-1-2 and slowing, we believe the –AAM will become a bigger influencer with cooler risks in the NE. Major differences for both temperatures and precipitation in week 2. We believe the EPS…

Today's video: https://youtu.be/iXwuzGgTXV0 PDF report (click link to the right to open in HD): 11-13-19 Long-range analysis Key Points: Widespread record cold again this morning – many stations breaking all time November cold records. Warmer risks in week 2 look to be rather transient. Initially some warmth is possible in the Central US (strong Pacific Jet/MJO Phase 8) with cooler risks behind storm systems. We anticipate the further into week 2 we go for a more potent –NAO to become likely. For this reason we have cooled more of the Midwest for week 2.  With the MJO working back into…

Initially some warmth is possible in the Central US (strong Pacific Jet/MJO Phase 8) with cooler risks behind storm systems. We still think week 2 can be more active – this looks to occur especially as we initially…

11-10-19 Week Ahead Outlook

Agriculture, Becks, Energy, Weekly Energy Report, Weekly Farm Report
Good afternoon!  Here is your latest Week Ahead Outlook.  Have a blessed day! - Matt HD Link: (11-10-19 Week Ahead Report) Temperatures: A  very cold week 1 is expected behind our storm system that will bring some accumulating snowfall across portions of the Midwest.  An artic high pressure system will be the dominate feature during this time.  We do have a few storm dates during this time which will allow for some transient warmth out ahead of these systems with more reinforcing air in their wake.  Meanwhile, a persisting upper level ridge will continue to keep the west coast warm. …

Today's video: http://youtu.be/NgEMSJQbPe8?hd=1 PDF report (click link to the right to open in HD): 11-8-19 Long-range analysis Key Points: Record cold temperatures this morning in spots with additional record cold possible early next week. Cold will linger into week 2 and slowly shift eastward as it begins to moderation throughout the period. Overall colder than normal pattern for week 2. Would not be surprised to see the pattern start to get more active into Mid-Month with major SOI fluctuations and more low pressure in the North Pacific. As we work into this more active pattern with MJO phase 8, would…

Cold blast is reinforced by Super Typhoon Halong that will recurve and impact the jet stream the next few days. Latest MJO analogs show continued support for colder risks beyond the initial cold impacts of the typhoon recurve. We think the cold can seep further East this time due to the MJO and a further east recurve.  Would not be surprised to see the…

Today's video: http://youtu.be/h3Us--oN3w0?hd=1 PDF report (click link to the right to open in HD): 11-5-19 Long-range analysis Key Points: Much below normal temperatures for the Central US into the Ohio Valley this week. Current –AAM combined with Polar Vortex location major drivers – though the AAM is expected to rise in the coming days.  Forecast has trended colder due to emergence of recurving typhoon Halong in the W. Pacific later this week.  The typical warmer risks associated with the +AAM do not look to materialize due to this typhoon and the Polar Vortex.  We think the cold can seep further…
