Storm threat (Early Jan) 1/4 - 1/6

Did you intentionally cherry pick that image? Because there is this one too, 24 hours later that I was really talking about. Do I really need to give my reasoning?

Not at all. I just think you should be careful with expectations.

Caveat is that the pattern looks good, so who knows

If the GFS and now GGEM are right in sending a sharp trof through the upper midwest around day 4 there could be a threat in the Thursday-Friday timeframe. H5 looks ripe for a mid-atlantic storm. The strongest baroclinic zone is pushed pretty far south so it will be hard to get a SLP going in the southeast, but it will happen with a sharp enough trof and some good vorticity advection. We've seen the scenario before where the strong cutoff near Newfoundland pinches in two, with a double barrel vortex retrograding back toward Ontario and possibly southward into the developing trof. You have to use your imagination a bit, but this next week doesn't have to be suppression city.

Non event here for us folks no matter how hard people try to twist and pick only models that look positve but dismiss ones that do not - been a good week tho - will be another threat in 10-15 days

Agree. The ggem and gfs are both showing potential in the Jan. 7-8th timeframe. This is the next period to watch, IMO.

we're going to be entering a suppressed period for sure, but DC might bet a big storm out of this.

That sucks!!!!! Also looks like our temps rebound to normal levels by next sat. To bad we couldn't get a storm when it was really cold... Hopefully we can get a storm after next week problem is by then our temps are in the 40's again and nyc metro will prob have to deal with mixing issues. I know that all depends on the storm track.. It's just unfortunate we couldn't pull something off whie our temps were so cold......

Latest UKMET says we have an event after all. Not sure what kind, but definitely not a non-event, unless it is wrong of course, but right now it is running in 2nd place behind only the Euro at 144 hrs. Let's see what the Euro has to say about this.

The UKMET shows a definitely different solution for next weekend. Not only is it not suppressed, it brings the storm up out of the Gulf to our west.

That 2nd panel there is the classic SW open wave I talked about a few days back, thats our best shot at snows in a pattern where you otherwise won't get a good coastal low. Relatively weak low to the west running into a high over southern Canada and the low not being so strong it floods the mid levels or boundary layer with warmth. Usually can pull 4-8 inches out in those types of events. Would definitely prefer a classic setup though given the cold air we may have in place.
