Over night runs were uninspiring to say the least. And now you can throw in the 06Z GFS as well.

Yea I see nothing in the next 2 weeks. The only interesting thing is how all the guidance is building a very impressive epo ridge towards day 15 and gave a lot of cold ready to dump in. I could see a cold period in march from that. But everything this year has been transient so I doubt it's a long window. 

The potential spoiler is the epo doesn't have as strong a cold signal in march as January/February probably because the shorter wavelengths open the risk the trough is sharp enough that ridging fights back along the east coast. We could see everything cut to our west. It can work 2014-15 proves that but it can fail too. 

There are definitely some underlying factors to the pattern that continue to override favorable signals.  In December we wasted a -epo mid month. In January we torched right through a fairly healthy mjo phase 1. We just wasted a -nao and we're about to torch through most of one of the most impressive mjo waves through cold phases.  At times we have had positive factors lined up but some combination of other influences is saying NO!

The man has no integrity left. 

Remember him from the accuweather days when he wasn't quite so into the hype as he is now. Actually enjoyed reading him back then. He's actually pretty savvy with his weather knowledge and you can learn a thing or two. The problem is that you need to be knowledgeable enough to understand when he is just throwing out BS or whether there is a legitimate threat. And to be honest, I got tired years ago of trying to weed through all the hype just to get a nugget or two of weather knowledge.

Very good description of the good and bad with JB. I will give him some credit that back in the early 2000s before he went off the rails I learned a lot. He can definitely pull out some nuggets about telleconection and long range tricks. And you can learn some things from him.  Problem is he has become like Fox News. Sure there is some real news in there but it's also littered with utter nonsense and unless your knowledgeable enough to discern the difference he can cause more harm then good.

I really liked the younger JB.  He has become bitter and heavily biased in his rants.  I payed for him at Accu, but never at WB.  He is a wealth of knowledge and can sniff out a long range pattern better than many.  But I've largely moved on, as there became to much parsing for weather morsels.

 

Back to the weather......

 

there aint none to talk about....for at least a week.  Someone wake me up next Friday and well see whats cookin by then.

May still be the entire lower 48.  Ugh

00z GGEM trying a lil something something Day 10?  1038 H in Quebec and 1004mb SLP in NE GA

00z EURO at 240 has ridging building just west of Alaska (+PNA?) with no large GOA low and what I believe is to be an eastern trough developing

Extrapolating 00z GGEM (I know), there could be something there.  00z GEPS seems to agree.  It's not much, but I think this might be the best look the GEPS has had for a while.  Of course it will probably be gone in a few hours.

The entire evolution is wacky, Im not putting much thought into that.

It looks like a stronger first wave might prevent the second low from cutting.  Fujiwhara effect?   GGEM had something similar last night, but now it has the weaker first wave today.

Yeah, Im just not buying it. One of them will probably end up being a dominant low, my bet would be on the strong s/w out west

I'm not commenting on the chances of the GFS being right, but it looks like one of those typical spring-time events when vorts get cut off and start dancing around.

 

P.S. I know the vort is not cut off, but you get odds scenarios in the spring with vorts cutting off and banging into each other.

Any thoughts on the day 10 euro?  Other than it's day 10?

I see a low tracking to the western GL, some warm sector rain ahead of it, and a trailing cold front.

eta- there is a low that forms way off the coast that looks like it may end up giving snow to NE.

I see a cold front that has already passed, flat flow and cold 850's behind it, and a low in the Texas panhandle getting ready to come east.

You see no possibilities there?

Beyond day 10, with colder air in place, if something should develop in that area and move east, I suppose there would be possibilities. There is a very weak "L" in N Texas but no precip at day 10.

Vort panels look good but d10 op vort panels have panned out exactly zero times this winter.
