Weather Models Long Range Blocking Issues

As we have over the last week or longer, weather models have and continue to have a difficult time dealing with the developing North Atlantic blocking. To review, a block is higher than normal pressures or in this case  strong high pressure aloft in the North Atlantic region which displaces the jet stream far to the south of its normal position. It also impacts the normal west to east flow of air masses and locks the Eastern US at least in an valley of below average temperatures and at time much below average temperatures. Weather models long range have been going back and forth and at times in opposite directions regarding the position and strength of the block which has led to all sorts of bizarre solutions regarding the weather going forward. What we are sure of is that next week it will be dry and except for Tuesday which will be mild, most days will be below average for this time of year. It won’t be anything crazy below average at least through Friday.

I am getting a bit more interested in what the models are putting out for next weekend. Both models show a strong blocking high over Greenland. Both models show the block the same way which is the first time in the last week that models even remotely matched up. This increases the confidence level somewhat. It also raises the risk of some sort of storm development to affect the Northeast US. The European model is the most dynamic of the 2 developing a storm off the coast of Southern New England.

The GFS times everything out differently by keeping all the elements separate. One big difference is the timing a system in the northeast Gulf of Mexico which the European gets this system involved in the development while the GFS times that out differently by shooting it out to the northeast faster and keeps the pieces separate. In either case if there is no storm development it does mean below average temperatures and even much below average temperatures beginning next Wednesday and lasting right into the first days of December.
