Correct.
I still feel like we're sitting on no-mans land waiting on closer consensus on the pattern change. I'd feel more comfortable if this was Saturday/Sunday and we're seeing it.
Was gonna say, with this being a more Basin wide Nina, models have been struggling with the PAC jet.
Agree we need that jet to retract westward thus promoting more ridging into our cold source region.
I still had/have leaves on my trees now. A lot finally came down in mid December but I never had a chance to blow them away. Now they’re currently stuck to grass from rain and freeze.
I don't see the next pattern change any different than the last. The only caveat is we are getting near peak temp mins. The biggest caveat is we will have not seen a preceding period of much cold/snow so that may offset low level cold in SWFE's.
That SE Ridge looks like a pig and is going to take some time to beat down. I give it till mid month where it becomes more favorable to "majority" for more wintry outcomes.
Nina's just seem to wreak havoc on modeling with the PAC. @brooklynwx99has posted great info on this.
