a Rossby wave packet for early December (signal for renewed blocking)
With the MJO continuing east and the likelihood of further +ve AAM in the context of a weak sPV, blocking regimes are far more likely through December vs the usual zonal weather patterns.

The strong +EAMT event led to a Pacific Jet extension generating a Rossby Wave packet (next weeks block) this will relax and we’re now seeing a Pacific jet retraction (signal for the block to drift west), another +EAMT will generate another Pacific jet extension generating..

Modelling is certainly struggling at the moment, today’s EC46 comes tantalisingly close to a minor reversal!

Following up with this - Todays EC46 has slightly trended away from the idea.

Thank you really informative! Hadn’t realised models were overconfident in the Pacific Trough regime!

I'd be interested to hear @simonleewx.com's thoughts!

The likelihood of a major SSW remains low however but the trend has been to weaken u-wind speeds further so it's definitely not something I'd rule out.
The warming appears to originate over Canada which makes these potentially even rarer. Strong eQBO and -IOD certainly having an impact here.

Sudden Stratospheric Warming - A dramatic and sudden warming in the Arctic stratosphere, can lead to colder weather
Madden-Julian Oscillation - An area of rain and thunderstorms that moves eastwards in a (rough) 30-60 day cycle, it’s positioning can impact the jet stream & global weather patterns
Madden-Julian Oscillation - An area of rain and thunderstorms that moves eastwards in a (rough) 30-60 day cycle, it’s positioning can impact the jet stream & global weather patterns
