Northern Europe is rather mild today, as evidenced by the 7°C air temperature over the North Atlantic at 67°N, courtesy of strong southerlies. In Sweden, much of the country remains above freezing. Notably though, it appears as the ice sheet has finally emerged in far North-East of the Bothnia Bay with a 10°C difference between rather short distances offshore. This is 1 pm Central European Time today.
Upper Low over Arizona and Northern Mexico.
Jet stream digging way down south
Surface storm getting its act together over New Mexico.
Everything is pushing East but warmth will be surging north first
Snowing in Northern Nebraska. Raining in Kansas.
Lake Ontario effect snows in Syracuse and Utica, NY
Freezing Fog in North Carolina
Heavy band of rain off Washington coast heading inland
It's nice to see a strong trough out West and a ridge out East. Usually at this time of year it's reversed.
Currently 63 degrees in Austin, forecasted high of 68. It's been raining all morning and 2-5" of rain is expected. I'm very glad as the cedar pollen count was over 10,000.
In central Texas the main tree is cedar (juniper ashe actually). It produces pollen Dec - Feb in amounts that are astronomically higher than anything else all year. The rain is reducing the pollen count, very good news. But only for two days before it surges higher.
No white Christmas here in central Indiana. We had sunshine most of the day with temps pretty seasonal in the 30s. More sunshine today and climbing into the 40s. Tomorrow brings rain and even more warmth with highs in the mid-50s. Tomorrow night may not even drop below 50! Another day in the 50s on Friday before 30s return for the weekend and a storm system next week just in time for the new year. Maybe some actual snow finally! At this point, it looks like we will finish the year with less than an inch of snow for the 2018-2019 snow season when we should have had over 7 inches at this point on average.
This is what today looks like in Austin. Extremely hard rain, threat of tornadoes, temp 66F, gusty SSE wind 12MPH. This is pure Gulf of Mexico dominance here. Dewpoint is also 66F.
Great forecast here, with lots of sun and above average temperatures. December has been fantastic so far, wouldn't mind a repeat of that for January and February
Well we are dead locked into a blocked pattern just like i called for months ago. So nothing but heat and dry and it could last for 6 weeks +. So a super record hot and dry fall was saved thanks to the first 3 weeks of Dec to tame down the record hot temps in Oct to Nov and with 10" of rain to save a dry summer and fall for my area. So now i am back to hating the weather.
I had my 3 weeks of heaven and will now pay a long and dry price.

Low latitude nightmare climate, good luck with the summer temperatures this year when the rain stops.
