North American heat on the ensembles. No arctic air to be found, only near normal in a small pocket likely from clouds and rain. The AO isn't going to tank anytime soon to record levels like in 2009 to prevent the December blowtorch in Canada Nino's are famous for. It will be near record warmth for the northern plains and northern tier to start December where they left off in November.
The cold mongering folks up north are afraid to death of super nino 1997-1998/1877-1878 (this is why some of the colder bias mets are quickly to point out differences from 97). Don't know if this will repeat but certainly will give them a scare.


The month does look wet for Texas and the southwest though with near to below normal averages. Looks like 60"+ is well within reach for DFW
