This is the problem- energy left behind and the trough doesn't dig as much and is broader as it approaches.

Ridge axis isn't in as good a spot either, too far west, compared to earlier.  Not sure if that's the effect of the energy being left behind in the southwest, or if it's causing that.

hard to really even find the key differences between 12 and 18z.  seems like it was just a subtle difference with that energy that drops in from the pac nw/canada.  probably want that energy to be a little more consolidated to carve out a better trough.

Subtle differences. The SW was further west but the trough was more progressive so instead of riding the base and amplifying it stretched and got left behind.

yea i'm just saying it might not take much to get a better solution.  imo 12z looked kinda wonky to an extent.  how often is a trough that narrow like the gfs showed.

Yeah, now its almost too far west. Started too far east, now that energy as you mentioned is pumping it up causing the flat heights out in front as well.

The two pieces have to come in sync. That obviously did not happen.

The sw piece currently sits at 160w long, 55n lat. The northern piece as far as I can tell resides somewhere in the vicinity of the Alaska/Yukon border. It also appears highly influenced by disturbances rotating around the PV. 
 

I’m sure the models have all of those pieces figured out perfectly at this point.

We are basically in a dry pattern regarding winter storms.

You can hash it it or dash anyway you wish, but that is a fact. The very dry progressive pattern northwest to southeast kicks potential storms off the east coast. The vortex over eastern Canada needs to relax.

This will change in February, but will we still have enough cold air?

Friday/Saturday?  Possible, but not likely.

18z GEFS isn't bad. Not as good as 6 or 12z though.

 

Says the dude 100 miles east of me. Lol sorry had too. But it is valid for the NW crew we still weren’t really into it and needed more west trends so a setback is more problematic. Also we all know these miss east 90% of the time so seeing the best global recently go that way feels more meaningful that it should.  But it could easily be a blip or head fake. We won’t know until 0z.

Hot take. You’re like the models .. you already know.

All due respect, you aren’t part of the nw crew lol.
