40/70 Benchmark Posted January 17, 2021 Author Share Posted January 17, 2021 I still fell like we will get a moderate event before month's end, but am not confident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40/70 Benchmark Posted January 17, 2021 Author Share Posted January 17, 2021 This incoming pattern seems to me as though the N stream just can not dig quite enough due to the RNA out west. The result is that everything phases and congeals to our NE. Best bet is probably either hoping for a brief PNA nod timed well with the passage of N steam wave, or waiting until the pattern begins to break down nearer the end of the month. The latter seems more likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

40/70 Benchmark Posted January 17, 2021 Author Share Posted January 17, 2021 I think the threat near the end of the month has the best shot to dig because heights in the west begin to elevate a bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
