PROGNOSTIC DISCUSSION FOR 6 TO 10 AND 8 TO 14 DAY OUTLOOKS
NWS CLIMATE PREDICTION CENTER COLLEGE PARK, MD
300 PM EST FRI DECEMBER 19 2025
6-10 DAY OUTLOOK FOR DEC 25 - 29 2025
A HIGHLY AMPLIFIED PATTERN IS FORECAST FOR THE 6-10 DAY PERIOD ACROSS NORTH
AMERICA AND ADJACENT AREAS. A STRONG MID-LEVEL RIDGE IS FORECAST TO BE CENTERED
ACROSS THE ALEUTIAN ISLANDS AND NORTH PACIFIC. DOWNSTREAM, NEGATIVE 500-HPA
HEIGHT ANOMALIES AND MID-LEVEL TROUGHING ARE FORECAST FROM SOUTHEAST ALASKA
SOUTHWARD OFFSHORE OF THE WESTERN CONTIGUOUS U.S. (CONUS). THIS SET-UP FAVORS
CONTINUING EPISODES OF STRONG PACIFIC FLOW AND STORMINESS INTO THE WESTERN
CONUS DURING THE PERIOD. AN EXPANSIVE AREA OF POSITIVE 500-HPA HEIGHT ANOMALIES
IS FORECAST TO BE CENTERED NEAR THE CENTRAL CONUS, AND ANOTHER AMPLIFIED
POSITIVE MEAN 500-HPA ANOMALY IS EXPECTED OVER THE NORTHEASTERN ATLANTIC, WITH
SOME MID-LEVEL TROUGHING IN BETWEEN THESE TWO FEATURES, IN THE NORTHWESTERN
ATLANTIC.
IN THE MANUAL BLEND, THE LOCATIONS OF THE MOST ANOMALOUS MEAN 500-HPA HEIGHTS
IN THIS HIGHLY AMPLIFIED PATTERN ARE ESSENTIALLY UNCHANGED FROM YESTERDAY, AND
EVEN A BIT MORE AMPLIFIED (+390 M CENTERED OVER THE WESTERNMOST ALEUTIANS AND
+330 M EAST OF ICELAND). THE NEGATIVE ANOMALIES MAXIMIZED OVER THE ALASKAN
PANHANDLE ARE ALSO SLIGHTLY MORE AMPLIFIED THAN YESTERDAY (-210 M) WHILE THE
PATTERN OVER AND ADJACENT TO THE CONUS IS A BIT LESS AMPLIFIED THAN YESTERDAY,
WITH MEAN ANOMALIES RANGING FROM -60 M WEST OF CALIFORNIA TO +120 M OVER THE
CENTRAL CONUS. BY THE END OF THE PERIOD, ENSEMBLE MEANS DIVERGE IN THEIR
SOLUTIONS OVER NORTHWESTERN NORTH AMERICA AND THE NORTHEASTERN PACIFIC. THE
EUROPEAN ENSEMBLE (ECENS) MEAN IS CONSIDERABLY MORE POSITIVELY-TILTED WITH THE
TROUGH EXTENDING SOUTHWARD FROM SOUTHEASTERN ALASKA, DEPICTING A TROUGH AXIS
REACHING TOWARD THE CENTRAL NORTH PACIFIC. THIS ALLOWS ABOVE-NORMAL 500-HPA
HEIGHTS TO BUILD INTO THE WESTERN CONUS. THE GEFS MEAN PLACES THE TROUGH AXIS
FROM SOUTHEASTERN ALASKA INTO THE NORTHEASTERN NORTH PACIFIC, PLACING SUBNORMAL
500-HPA IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST AND RELEGATING ABOVE-NORMAL 500-HPA HEIGHTS
FARTHER EAST. THE CANADIAN ENSEMBLE (CNENS) MEAN SOLUTION IS A COMPROMISE OF
THE OTHER TWO, AND IS THE FAVORED SOLUTION AT THIS TIME AS IT REFLECTS THE
MODEL CONSENSUS. THE EVENTUAL PLACEMENT OF MID-LEVEL FEATURES IN THIS REGION
COULD HAVE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON SENSIBLE WEATHER, AS THE ECENS MEAN
FEATURING ABOVE-NORMAL 500-HPA HEIGHTS OVER THE WESTERN CONUS WOULD REDUCE THE
STRENGTH OF THE PACIFIC AIR FLOW INTO THE WESTERN CONUS, RESULTING IN SOMEWHAT
LOWER PRECIPITATION TOTALS. FARTHER SOUTH, A WEAK 500-HPA RIDGE OVER HAWAII
EARLY IN THE PERIOD IS EXPECTED TO DRIFT EASTWARD AS BELOW-NORMAL 500-HPA
HEIGHTS ENCROACH ON THE STATE FROM THE WEST.
ACROSS THE CONUS, BROADLY POSITIVE 500-HPA HEIGHT ANOMALIES AND ENHANCED MILD
PACIFIC FLOW SHOULD RESULT IN ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES ACROSS MOST OF THE
CONUS. PROBABILITIES FOR ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES EXCEED 90% OVER MOST OF THE
SOUTHERN PLAINS, AND SOME ENHANCEMENT IN THE ODDS FOR ABOVE-NORMAL TEMPERATURES
COVERS ALMOST THE ENTIRE CONUS, EXCEPTING THE WESTERN AND NORTHEASTERN FRINGES.
THE NORTHEAST MAY AVERAGE CLOSER TO NORMAL UNDER NEAR-NORMAL 500-HPA HEIGHTS
AND MODERATE MID-LEVEL TROUGHING IN THE ADJACENT ATLANTIC, WHILE PERSISTENT
PRECIPITATION OVER THE WESTERN CONUS SHOULD LIMIT THE DIURNAL RANGE AND KEEP
AVERAGE TEMPERATURES FROM STRAYING TOO FAR FROM NORMAL. IN CONTRAST TO THE
CONUS, BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES ARE FAVORED ALMOST REGIONWIDE ACROSS ALASKA.
ONLY THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS ARE AN EXCEPTION, WITH WARMER THAN NORMAL
TEMPERATURES EXPECTED IN ASSOCIATION WITH LARGE POSITIVE 500-HPA HEIGHT
ANOMALIES. IN HAWAII, ABOVE-NORMAL TEMPERATURES REMAIN FAVORED, CONSISTENT WITH
THE CONSOLIDATION FORECAST.
THE PERSISTENT MID-LEVEL TROUGH AXIS JUST OFF THE WEST COAST FAVORS CONTINUING
EPISODES OF STORMINESS AND ATMOSPHERIC RIVER ACTIVITY IN THE WESTERN CONUS, AND
THUS ABOVE-NORMAL PRECIPITATION. THE ENHANCEMENT OF THE ODDS FOR ABOVE-NORMAL
PRECIPITATION ARE SLIGHTLY LOWER THAN YESTERDAY, REFLECTING THE POSSIBILITY
THAT THE MID-LEVEL TROUGH AXIS MAY RELOAD FARTHER WEST OVER THE CENTRAL NORTH
PACIFIC LATER IN THE PERIOD (PER THE ECENS MEAN), WHICH WOULD RELAX THE PACIFIC
INFLOW AND REDUCE PRECIPITATION TOTALS. THE HIGHEST CHANCES FOR ABOVE NORMAL
PRECIPITATION (OVER 70 PERCENT) EXTEND ACROSS MUCH OF CALIFORNIA, AND ODDS
EXCEEDING 50 PERCENT EXTEND WESTWARD THROUGH THE GREAT BASIN AND INTO THE
CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN ROCKIES. ABOVE-NORMAL PRECIPITATION CHANCES ALSO EXCEED 50
PERCENT IN MUCH OF WASHINGTON AS 500-HPA HEIGHTS REBOUND OVER THE LOWER WESTERN
CONUS LATER IN THE PERIOD, PUSHING ATMOSPHERIC RIVER ACTIVITY BACK TO THE
NORTH. THE EXPECTED HEAVY PRECIPITATION AND POTENTIALLY WINDY CONDITIONS WILL
LIKELY RESULT IN HAZARDOUS TRAVEL CONDITIONS AT TIMES DURING THE HOLIDAY SEASON
ACROSS PARTS OF THE WEST. IN CONTRAST, BELOW NORMAL PRECIPITATION IS FAVORED
OVER MUCH OF THE NORTH-CENTRAL AND SOUTHEASTERN CONUS WITH MID-LEVEL RIDGING
LIMITING PRECIPITATION POTENTIAL ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION. NEAR TO ABOVE
NORMAL PRECIPITATION IS FAVORED OVER THE INTERIOR NORTHEASTERN CONUS WHERE AN
ACTIVE STORM TRACK COULD SET UP. IN ALASKA, NEAR NORMAL PRECIPITATION IS
FAVORED FOR THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN MAINLAND WHILE DRIER THAN NORMAL WEATHER
IS MORE LIKELY FARTHER SOUTH DOWNSTREAM FROM THE STRONG MID-LEVEL RIDGE AND
UPSTREAM FROM THE SOUTHEAST ALASKA NEGATIVE HEIGHT ANOMALY CENTER. A SLIGHT
TILT TOWARDS ABOVE-NORMAL PRECIPITATION IS NOTED FOR PARTS OF THE ALASKAN
PANHANDLE NEAR OR DOWNSTREAM FROM THE AXIS OF THE STRONG MEAN MID-LEVEL TROUGH,
WHERE SURFACE STORM DEVELOPMENT WOULD BE FAVORED. FARTHER SOUTH, ODDS FOR
SURPLUS PRECIPITATION INCREASE FROM EAST TO WEST ACROSS HAWAII IN CONCERT WITH
THE ENCROACHMENT OF BELOW-NORMAL 500-HPA HEIGHTS FROM THE WEST. CHANCES FOR
UNUSUALLY WET WEATHER EXCEED 40 PERCENT OVER MOST OF THE WESTERN ISLANDS OF
KAUAI AND NIIHAU.
THE OFFICIAL 6-10 DAY 500-HPA HEIGHT BLEND CONSISTS OF 25% OF TODAY'S 6Z GFS
ENSEMBLE MEAN CENTERED ON DAY 8, 25% OF TODAY'S 0Z EUROPEAN ENSEMBLE MEAN
CENTERED ON DAY 8, 20% OF TODAY'S OPERATIONAL 0Z ECMWF CENTERED ON DAY 8, AND
30% OF TODAY'S 0Z CANADIAN ENSEMBLE MEAN CENTERED ON DAY 8
FORECAST CONFIDENCE FOR THE 6-10 DAY PERIOD: WELL ABOVE AVERAGE, 5 OUT OF 5,
DUE TO GOOD MODEL AGREEMENT AND EXCELLENT MODEL CONSISTENCY OVER THE PAST
SEVERAL DAYS, MAINTAINING A STABLE, AMPLIFIED MID-LEVEL PATTERN OVER THE
NORTHERN WESTERN HEMISPHERE.
8-14 DAY OUTLOOK FOR DEC 27, 2025 - JAN 02, 2026
THE WEEK-2 500-HPA MEAN HEIGHT FORECAST REMAINS CONSISTENT WITH THE 6-10 DAY
PERIOD AND WITH YESTERDAY'S FORECAST. AN AMPLIFIED MEAN MID-LEVEL RIDGE REMAINS
LIKELY OVER THE NORTH PACIFIC AND ALEUTIAN ISLANDS. DOWNSTREAM MEAN MID-LEVEL
TROUGHING IS FORECAST TO PERSIST OVER AND NEAR SOUTHEAST ALASKA WHILE THE
MODERATELY-STRONG FLAT MID-LEVEL RIDGE REMAINS ROUGHLY IN PLACE OVER MUCH OF
THE CONUS. A FAIRLY WEAK MEAN TROUGH IS STILL ANTICIPATED OFF THE EAST COAST,
LEADING INTO A SECOND STRONG MID-LEVEL RIDGE WITH THE LARGEST POSITIVE 500-HPA
HEIGHT ANOMALIES ANTICIPATED NEAR ICELAND. THE PRIMARY CHANGE FROM YESTERDAY IS
THE INCREASED POTENTIAL FOR MEAN 500-HPA HEIGHTS TO AVERAGE CLOSER TO NORMAL
OVER AT LEAST PART OF THE WESTERN CONUS, WHICH COULD REDUCE THE IMPACT OF
PACIFIC ONSHORE FLOW AND ATMOSPHERIC RIVER ACTIVITY, ESPECIALLY OVER CENTRAL
AND SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE WEST COAST. THE DETERMINISTIC EUROPEAN MODEL AND A
MINORITY OF THE ECENS MEMBERS FORM A CUT-OFF 500-HPA LOW FOR AT LEAST ONE OR
TWO DAYS DURING WEEK-2 NEAR SOUTHEAST ALASKA, WHICH ALLOWS 500-HPA HEIGHTS TO
BUILD OVER THE WESTERN CONUS AND SQUELCH THE STRONG ATMOSPHERIC RIVER ACTIVITY
THAT HAS PERSISTENTLY IMPACTED THE REGION. THIS IS A MINORITY SOLUTION AMONG
THE MODELS AT THIS TIME AND THUS NOT THE FAVORED SOLUTION, BUT THE POSSIBILITY
RESULTS IN SOMEWHAT LOWER LIKELIHOODS OF HEAVY PRECIPITATION IN THE WEST,
ESPECIALLY IN THE SOUTHWEST. THE BOTTOM LINE, HOWEVER, IS THAT THE BROADLY
PERSISTENT, AMPLIFIED MEAN PATTERN IS STRONGLY FAVORED TO CONTINUE, BUT HOW
INDIVIDUAL FEATURES MAY CAUSE THE 500-HPA ANOMALY CENTERS AND MID-LEVEL
RIDGE/TROUGH AXES TO MEANDER AND/OR VARY IN AMPLITUDE IS UNCERTAIN, LEADING TO
SOME UNCERTAINTY IN THE FORECAST. TO THE SOUTH, HAWAII WILL LIKELY REMAIN
DOWNSTREAM FROM A REGION OF SUBNORMAL 500-HPA HEIGHTS, KEEPING
CYCLONICALLY-CURVED MID-LEVEL FLOW ACROSS THE ISLAND CHAIN.
IN CONCERT WITH THE 500-HPA HEIGHT FORECAST, THE TEMPERATURE FORECAST FOR
WEEK-2 IS QUITE CONSISTENT WITH YESTERDAY AND WITH THE 6-10 DAY PERIOD. ABOVE
NORMAL TEMPERATURES ARE FAVORED FOR NEARLY ALL OF THE CONUS WITH THE STRONGEST
CHANCES EXCEEDING 80% OVER MUCH OF THE SOUTHERN GREAT PLAINS. NEAR NORMAL
TEMPERATURES ARE FAVORED FOR MUCH OF THE IMMEDIATE WEST COAST TIED TO ONSHORE
FLOW BRINGING IN CLOUDS AND PRECIPITATION, AND FOR NEW ENGLAND UNDER 500-HPA
HEIGHTS CLOSER TO NORMAL JUST UPSTREAM FROM A MODERATE MEAN MID-LEVEL TROUGH
AXIS. AT HIGHER LATITUDES, THE AMPLIFIED RIDGE/TROUGH COUPLET FROM THE
NORTH-CENTRAL PACIFIC INTO ALASKA AND WESTERN CANADA SHOULD KEEP BELOW-NORMAL
TEMPERATURES ENTRENCHED ACROSS MOST OF ALASKA, ALTHOUGH THE MAGNITUDE AND
EXPANSE OF THE COLD AIR WILL WAX AND WANE OVER THE COURSE OF THE PERIOD.
ABOVE-NORMAL TEMPERATURES ARE FAVORED FOR HAWAII, WITH SOMEWHAT HIGHER ODDS
THAN FOR THE 6-10 DAY PERIOD OVER CENTRAL AND EASTERN PARTS OF THE ISLAND
CHAIN..
ABOVE-NORMAL PRECIPITATION REMAINS LIKELY FOR THE WEST COAST WITH CONTINUED
CHANCES FOR ATMOSPHERIC RIVER ACTIVITY TO IMPACT THE REGION THROUGHOUT WEEK-2.
THE POTENTIAL FOR A PERIOD OF INCREASED 500-HPA HEIGHTS REDUCES THE ODDS
SLIGHTLY, ESPECIALLY OVER THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE WESTERN CONUS, BUT THE MEAN
PATTERN FAVORING SURPLUS PRECIPITATION WILL REMAIN IN PLACE, FOCUSED ON THE
NORTHWEST DURING WEEK-2. BENEATH THE 500-HPA RIDGE OVER THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN
CONUS, BELOW-NORMAL PRECIPITATION IS GENERALLY FAVORED FOR THE SOUTHEAST, THE
IMMEDIATE EASTERN SEABOARD, THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY, AND PORTIONS OF THE
ADJACENT PLAINS. OTHERWISE, NEAR NORMAL PRECIPITATION IS FAVORED FOR MOST AREAS
EAST OF THE ROCKIES AS PIECES OF SHORTWAVE ENERGY FROM THE PACIFIC MAY INDUCE
SURFACE STORM SYSTEMS AND FRONTAL COMPLEXES THAT BRING RELATIVELY BRIEF
EPISODES OF MODERATE TO HEAVY PRECIPITATION. NEAR NORMAL PRECIPITATION IS
FAVORED OVER MUCH OF MAINLAND ALASKA, WITH SUBNORMAL TOTALS AGAIN FAVORED
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN TIER OF THE MAINLAND, SIMILAR TO THE 6-10 DAY PERIOD.
CHANCES FOR ABOVE-NORMAL PRECIPITATION CONTINUE TO INCREASE ACROSS HAWAII,
WHICH SHOULD REMAIN DOWNSTREAM FROM A MODERATE MID-LEVEL TROUGH UNDER NEAR- OR
BELOW-NORMAL 500-HPA HEIGHTS. THE STRONGEST PROBABILITIES FOR ABOVE-NORMAL
PRECIPITATION (50 TO 60 PERCENT) REMAIN ACROSS THE WESTERN ISLANDS, CLOSER TO
THE 500-HPA TROUGH AXIS.
THE OFFICIAL 8-14 DAY 500-HPA HEIGHT BLEND CONSISTS OF: 29% OF TODAY'S 6Z GFS
ENSEMBLE MEAN CENTERED ON DAY 11, 13% OF TODAY'S OPERATIONAL 6Z GFS CENTERED ON
DAY 11, 29% OF TODAY'S 0Z EUROPEAN ENSEMBLE MEAN CENTERED ON DAY 11, AND 29% OF
TODAY'S 0Z CANADIAN ENSEMBLE MEAN CENTERED ON DAY 11
FORECAST CONFIDENCE FOR THE 8-14 DAY PERIOD: ABOVE-AVERAGE, 4 OUT OF 5, DUE TO
GOOD MODEL AGREEMENT ON THE PERSISTENCE OF THE AMPLIFIED, STABLE MID-LEVEL
HEIGHT PATTERN, TEMPERED SOMEWHAT BY UNCERTAINTIES IN THE DAY-TO-DAY VARIANCE
BROUGHT ABOUT AS INDIVIDUAL FEATURES MOVE THROUGH THE LONGWAVE PATTERN,
ESPECIALLY ALONG THE WEST COAST.
FORECASTER: RICH TINKER
NOTES:
THE NOTATION FOR THE CATEGORICAL FORECAST INDICATED ON THE MAPS IS
THE SAME AS THAT IN THE TABLES: A-ABOVE N-NEAR NORMAL B-BELOW
THE TEMPERATURE MAP SHOWS REGIONS WITH > 33% CHANCE OF BEING WARMER
(ORANGE, "A"), COLDER (BLUE, "B"), OR CLOSE TO (GRAY, "N") NORMAL.
LABELS ON THE SHADED LINES GIVE THE PROBABILITY (> 33%) OF THE MORE
LIKELY CATEGORY (B OR A). PROBABILITY OF N IS ALWAYS < 40%.
THE PRECIPITATION MAP SHOWS REGIONS WITH > 33% CHANCE OF BEING
WETTER (GREEN, "A"), DRIER (TAN, "B"), OR CLOSE TO (GRAY, "N")
NORMAL. LABELS ON THE SHADED LINES GIVE THE PROBABILITY (> 33%) OF
THE MORE LIKELY CATEGORY (B OR A). PROBABILITY OF N IS ALWAYS < 40%.
IN THE SOUTHWEST AND OTHER CLIMATOLOGICALLY DRY REGIONS - THERE WILL
BE A GREATER THAN 33.3% CHANCE OF NO PRECIPITATION AND OCCASIONALLY
EVEN A NORMAL (I.E. MEDIAN) VALUE OF ZERO - ESPECIALLY DURING THE DRY
SEASONS. IN SUCH CASES A FORECAST OF NEAR NORMAL IS EFFECTIVELY A
FORECAST OF LITTLE OR NO PRECIPITATION.
THE CLIMATE PREDICTION CENTER USES 1991-2020 BASE PERIOD MEANS AS
REFERENCE IN THE CLIMATE OUTLOOKS.
THE NEXT SET OF LONG-LEAD MONTHLY AND SEASONAL OUTLOOKS WILL BE RELEASED ON
JANUARY 15.
