The 12z GGEM looks sloppy between 120-132hr. I'd wait for maps before concluding.

well with that in mind we can discount a suppressed solution at this time most of the guidance is signaling a storm close enough to give us a SECS - Next up the EURO

I'm not sure there is enough blocking for the northern stream to truly phase, but the general synoptics have greatly improved. The PNA ridge is improved, but still "running" a bit too much -- would like to see the flow a bit more north-to-south in the Plains. That would allow the vorticity to better consolidate in the base of the trough, allowing more deepening and further amplification, and perhaps not even need any northern stream phasing.

It is way too early to discount any solution. Because as quickly as the models lost the suppressed idea they could flip back. How quick we forget that this is a fast and generally progressive pattern. Id wait it out a bit.

At this point if they flip to anything it will be the suppressed idea, the only way we really could see an inland move is if the southern steream becomes much more involved and hence the northern wave digs more, the entire setup takes 24-36 hours more and it allowd the very brief strongly -NAO to flip neutral or positive.

I'd watch the event at 84 hours but most likley thats a miss, you probably want that to be a miss anyway because if that were to blowup more and become a minor hit or near miss it may screw with this event on the 3rd and 4th.

doesn't this have to do with setting up a pseudo 50/50 block if that were to miss and help us with east coast amplification with the next storm?

Interesting scenarios.

think the term on this board that we've all become accustomed to hearing pertains to this scenario " threading the needle". we need a perfectly timed dig from the northern vort to phase with the southern stream to get the big miller A. if anything in flow so much as farts "joking for not timed correctly" we get OTS solution or a far east solution. you nailed it earthlight this is a VERY fragile setup indeed

With the PNA rising, the flow is going to slow down.
