I poo-pooed the euro for warmth, I have to equally poo-poo this one...

 

The Euro has been worse than the NAM in the 240hr range.... and the NAM doesn't even do 240hrs!

 

 

Nearly every GFS member shows monster amplication and a storm during this period.

 

Bad news for you is, these always trend hard west and looks like rain for MI

I'm going to be in the central UP at that time frame, I would like a storm here, but I really don't care.

The Dec 20 +/- timeframe might be one of the best potentials in this subforum since GHD.  There's plenty that can go wrong and lead to a somewhat lame outcome but I always get a little excited when there's that kind of amplification. 

 

Yes I would agree with this, the models all amplify the pattern significantly in that time frame.

Big time signals for something around the 20-21st.  Have a really good feeling about this one. 

 

 

yeah....putting MBY aside, whenever we see this kind of signal for massive amplification and potent vort ejecting from the SW big things happen. Could be a madison special or it could be an Apps runner, but I'll be surprised if there isn't a high impact event during this period.

Hate to compare a setup that's over 200hrs out to anything, but man that 850mb baroclinic zone is eerily similar to you know who.

One major difference with that storm on the EURO and GFS (versus the crap so far) at 240hr is the 150kt jet digging into the west coast. You don't see that often. It's a pretty good sign that something big will happen around that period when you have that much energy at play.

Based on the GFS's depiction, I wouldn't be surprised if there are mixing issues.

 

Its a close call but if we can lay down a snow-cover this weekend, i doubt we'll see any WAA working into this. Any mixing issues IMO will be south of London. 

 

GGEM showed all snow.

so has the gfs with its troughing bias. The -PNA, no blocking signal suggests a west coast/rockies trough with some sort with a ridge in the pacific. That is a change from the high level epo blocking over the last week.

 

The GFS said this week was going to be cold with a trough, while the Euro had 50+ degrees into the UP.

 

Who was right there?

 

Alek was posting disaster warm-up images from the Euro about a week ago.
