This. Even if the GFS was wrong it did tend to slowly adjust to trends. This new updated GFS is abysmal trainwreck and needs serious work. It’s been horrific this winter. .
All three ensembles have a Pos PNA/-EPO setting up around the 20th. We’ve been teased all winter with this, but at least we got some signal for positive change. .
GFS is phasing part of the TPV with that southern vort, miniature version of what euro was doing a few days ago. Do we buy? Idk? I bet GEFS will come in colder and with some weenie hits because of it though .
The only saving grace right now is the possibility of a +PNA/-EPO around Jan 20th. Ensembles kind of hinted at it today. We’ve been head faked multiple times this year though so hard to trust .
Yesterdays 12z euro and a few runs of other models before that were phasing tpv energy with the southern vort creating a strong 50/50. When That didn’t happen and the euro caved I knew this threat was toast…. All we can do is move on to the next one. .
We need cold to set in prior to a snowstorm most of the time. Our key here was getting some N Stream energy to rotate through NE & SE Canada to help build in HP/confluence. Aka a 50/50. This run you could tell was going to be really bad early on because the confluence is much farther N. It’s one OP run, but ugh…. .
Not that good of a cold push this run, not looking good so far…gfs and cmc at least had some confluence, wouldn’t be shocked if this run brings the low to Chicago lol, hope I’m wrong as I usually am .
Have to see what 00z does, but 18z eps/control caved towards 12z GFS/CMC with handling of day 5 wave and the tpv phase….could argue we might see the 00z euro come well N with long range system at 00z if that stays course .
It really comes down to what happens with that Atlantic system day 5-6. Some models phase the TPV, others, like todays Canadian and GFS don’t. That’s going to create our 50/50. Here Is difference between 18z GFS and EURO. Focus on the Atlantic We’ll probably see this sorted out soon as it’s almost under 120 hours .
