The GEFS wasn't that impressive. If it captures it'll be well offshore.
The trough is too far east and there's no Greenland blocking to hold it in place.
At best it'll be a brush-by.
Except there's zero support for it happening.
This one's a dud imo. Late month is probably going to be OTS. Just not seeing anything positive in terms of snow atm.
Fast flow ftl
The 12z runs highlight the problems of fast flow.
Unless we have a very strong PNA ridge it'll be a struggle to get a phase going so I'm not very optimistic right now.
While our hunt for snow continues, parts of SC/NC/VA had a nice event last night.
So far this year has had something for everyone. Places to our south really cleaned up already.
Something is def going to happen end of January given strong and consistent signals from ensembles.
Way too early to say what exactly though.
That's a strong signal from 06z GEFS. The problem is whether the trough axis will end up too far east leading to another close call.
I'd like to see a sharper ridge out west moving forward.
The trough looks considerably further east than the last major cutter. OTS is more of a risk imo.
I think the new Euro upgrade amps the storms too far.
Theres def some merit to this. Euro op has been performing terribly this year.
It really would be amazing if we got through this period with nothing. Talk about incredibly bad luck.
