Moving past first week of January General Discussion/banter

Oh, I'm definitely not saying that I think it's right. I was just struck by the contrast with some of the prior op runs, and with the apparent conventional wisdom about the anticipated return to a cold pattern. As a cold lover I've definitely been comforted by what I've heard about the GEFS and Euro, as well as the atmospheric analysis of many of the mets here -- understanding, of course, that there's a lot of volatility.

 

 

 

There is a lot of volatility when we transistion, Thats why you can't ride the op model wave on any of the models as they flip flop from run to run, The ensembles usually give you more of an idea as to the direction this is going, But its going to take a few more days

the gfs ensembles now have massive spread on the AO in the long range...anywhere from below -6 to to 2.5/3.

 

The mean still looks like around -2...but huge spread.

 

Models really struggling with the volatility.  Amazing changes for even 4-6 day lead, obviously grasping massive changes that will hopefully break in our favor.

GFS leaves a lot of the southern energy behind in the SW. Most of the snow or ice scenarios have been doing this...including the Euro. GFS leaves even more energy behind than the Euro allowing for a colder solution that is mainly snow.

 

Should be interesting to track it. The southwest energy ejection in positively tilted troughs is one of the weaknesses of NWP. Should just be another volatile variable to track over the next several days.
