The good news? The GFS has a strong shortwave down south. 

 

Bad news? There is a pesky ULL over the Lakes from a lobe that breaks off, makes it so HP can't build in that area, 

 

The ironic news? That lobe could form another 50/50 @ 192 hours and there is energy coming in from the West. lol

Agreed, but it will just split again and send another one there, what's a winter without a low stuck in HB. LOL.

Yeah would be perfect if we had a cold high in place, but pacific air has blasted most of the cold air out by the time the storm moves in. Always perfect timing here.

Has it not weakened down to strong moderate Nino at this point though?

Not sure what the rules are on that but it's at its peak ONI value thru OND. Plus there's a lag. It decreasing now doesn't mean a whole lot.. it's supposed to be in general tho there are secondary spikes.

Timing is always important. A block doesn't guarantee anything. Not saying the guidance is correct- it might not be. But on the 0z GFS there is no vortex in the 50-50 region(its displaced too far north), and in fact there is one back over south-central Canada, and a trough is digging into the central US around the 17th. With that set up,  a storm track inland/over us is on the table.

Lobes are the worst.. 

 

Chin up.. the EURO will save us

 

LOL Idk why I call it a lobe....I could say breaks into a separate ULL....Lobe sounds better. Lobe I guess comes from 'ear-lobe'. The ear is an 'extension' of the head, and the ear lobe is an extension of the ear. The ULL lobe is an extension of the PV...i guess that is why I say that.

No high in place?

Weak high to the north. Problem is the primary is in KY. Too far north with weak hp. Return flow from the low screws up the surface and midlevels are borderline splitting the area.

A low tracking from MO is not a good starting point more often than not. I mentioned this earlier. The stronger the low the more it will try to gain latitude. A bit of a dammed if you do and dammed if you don't setup. I guess we root for a weaker wave or more dig/confluence/hp.
