Is not better than this

Kid yourselves though....

Just stop. The wavelengths are elongating. The 18z might have dug a bit more, but that allows

The southern stream low to escape east.

The 0s gfs had a quicker phase with that southern stream, pulling it more north and deepening it faster. The window is small for more western solution to occur, but this was a baby step.

At 12 hours, you can see the slight nuances in the amplitude of the northern Alaskan ridging coupled with the downstream effects on the north Atlantic Pacific Northern Pacific Pattern

.... What? Is there a teleconnection for that?

And I have to agree that the latest gfs is better and baby steps in the right direction.

Ok, if it makes folks feel better. Sure

you have several mets in this thread saying that the gfs was a step in the right direction.   If you dont think so, state why and not "Stick a fork in it" as you said.  It is way too early to say that, just as it is way too early to say the storm will be a big hit.

It is good to be seeing these improvements despite the Ridge out west continuing to trend worse. The GFS was able to inch closer thanks to the vort phasing in faster - i.e. much better timing. If the ridge would have strengthened or even just remained on par with 18z, the shift west would have been more significant. Nevertheless, this is good to see as the PNA is set to rise. So if we can get the ridge to cooperate, as it is forecast to, coupled with the better SLP placement and vort interaction we have seen today--we should be in good shape for further small trends west over the next few days.

You seem to be so confident in yourself that this isn't happening. Care to share any sound scientific reasoning behind that?

This.   By the way, I think that the models have been honed in on a storm for several days, which is usually a good sign.  This is not to say it wont blow up too offshore, but I feel a little more confident than usual this far out that there will be a serious storm off the east coast tuesday-wednesday.

Ridge out west is not a requirement. Many of our big storms have had mediocre west coast ridges or ridges breaking down during storm development.

Nice post. In fact on the very maps weatherx posted to say it was worse then 18z you can see what appears to be a cleaner phase and less suppressive pv influence. The ridge out west scares me still like I said however that has been changing on the modeling frequently so I'll wait to make full judgements there. Like you said though the improvements are clear in other aspects.

True but. .. When talking a situation like this where the axis could push it ots the ridge out west will be a crucial factor. Can we still get a phase without it? Sure but timing would need to be perfect and if we had the better Ridge out west we will have much more wiggle room and it will aide in forcing the entire setup.

I'm not saying it is. My point is that it is important, and it has been working against us today, even as the models shifted slightly west.

I didn't mean to make it seem like you were saying that. I apologize.

I'm just posting that because I see people constantly posting about it like its a must have to get a good storm. Not true.

I can post 4 classic storms that had mediocre west coast ridges.

In this setup it will be a very important player.

Ah no apologies needed - no hard feelings, seriously.

 

Yes, the ridge out west has been spoken about nearly ad nauseam thus far - but I can assure you it's for good reason. No we don't need it for a hit, per se, but if it would cooperate our chances go up significantly, and there would be far less anxiety about a track OTS

According to pna forecasts, should the ridge reamplify in time to positively impact the track?

Yes it should spike in response to the western energy pumping it (before it beats it down later) so the hope is this spike continues to trend more amped before it begins to break down.

It's actually going to be in the process of deamplification at storm time with that energy cutting into it along the west coast but the hope is that slows enough to allow it to still be amped enough/ spikes out ahead of that energy out west at the time we need it to aide the vort in digging South and forcing a phase.
