And it’s digital snow not at hour 360!

Tried to upload the GFS AI loop but alas. Either way, I like the evolution it shows. We lose our PNA a little bit for some time but cold really dumps from the lakes south. There’s several instances where the trough orientation digs sharply.

Not gonna lie. I want a winter storm but I’m longing for summer. I know…sinful to say. Our house has had a virus at least biweekly since Oct. I miss getting outside in the evenings, I miss fishing and tbh, I miss a good peak heating thunderstorm.

It screams overrunning potential.

We need more help from the pacific jet. You can see on models just how retracted it gets later in runs. It’s funny that we always get too much of the pacific jet or too little but never just enough lol.

One minute its SER, the next its cross polar flow and snowfall again for the oil rigs in the Gulf. Hoping we find some balance here soon (we won’t).

Lots of players on the field in the long range. I like (Borat voice).

Now that our ensembles are in, I like the look we seem to be developing. I still hope we start seeing fantasy storms soon but we’ll have quite the cold pool setting up to our north with blocking in place to deliver CAD. Now can we throw moisture into it?

Snow in Arkansas, Tenn, Miss and Alabama? Book it. They have been on a Mountain West heater these past few years with storms.

Cad is in full effect here as well

We gotta start seeing some fantasy runs soon. I always feel like they’re an indicator of how good/bad the pattern may be.

Bring us good fortune again!

Where are we for the MJO? Still stuck in the cod?

What a bust of a forecast today. Also, who wants to do the honors of starting a 2026 thread?

Better west coast ridging across the board last night. That made a world of difference on the outlook for cold on the east coast. Let’s see if we can keep the positive trends going.
