Eps totally caving to the GEFS this afternoon…not shocked 

Definitely did in the tropics this run. Much more of the gefs type looks there among the individual members then there have been at 12z. I think it makes sense too, with what the gefs is doing. According to the sst layout currently anyway.

Yup. The trough is moving east the last few runs

Milder air is poised to overspread the region. Much of the rest of this week will see above normal temperatures before the next cold front reaches the region during the weekend. That cold shot will likely be of a fairly short duration.

There is growing consensus on the long range ensembles that the second half of February could experience a significant pattern change. Ridging could retrograde to the East with the persistent trough heading westward. That pattern change would lead to a return of sustained above normal readings after mid-month. Such a change could be preceded by a storm, as sometimes happens. There remains a degree of uncertainty about the timing and magnitude of the pattern change. However, the warmer pattern will likely be in place for the closing week of February. Some guidance suggests that readings could rise to well above normal levels during that time.

The EPS continues to forecast the development of an EPO+/AO+/PNA- pattern around February 20th. Such a pattern favors above to much above normal temperatures in the Middle Atlantic and southern New England regions.

The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was -1.0°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was -0.6°C for the week centered around February 2. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged -0.80°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged -0.83°C. La Niña conditions will likely persist through meteorological winter.

The SOI was +7.30 today.

The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was +1.672.

On February 5 the MJO was in Phase 3 at an amplitude of 0.837 (RMM). The February 4-adjusted amplitude was 0.769 (RMM).

Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied 68% probability that New York City will have a warmer than normal February (1991-2020 normal). February will likely finish with a mean temperature near 37.7° (1.8° above normal).

Feb will still be several degrees above normal even if it isn't an all out torch. Just look at this week. I see low to mid 50s for highs.

We get a brief cool down but then things trend up again. This is far from the Jan chill we've experienced

Which is fine.. Jan was a bit too cold especially the nights

Im fairness, late Feb highs are low 40s already.

The one thing that we can say about the long range EPS is that it has been trying to weaken the Western Ridge too quickly. We saw this with forecasts for early to mid February issued back in late January. The record ridge near California this week is exceeding the forecast made on January 31st. This was the first January since 2015 with the Ridiculously Resilient Ridge making a return. The EPS also had the same problem then with showing too weak a ridge out West in its long range forecasts in 2015. This may go beyond the MJO differences between the Euro and GFS since that ridge was shown to be related to forcing in the WPAC east of the Philippines. So that may be why we see the split forcing near the IO with the MJO and WPAC forcing east of the Philippines.

isnt that California drought keeping the ridge going? Maybe it will stay there for the entire month?

All the models are a close  miss for a big storm but every model has H5 really different than 12z in a favorable way.

The only model I'm looking at that hasn't jumped way west with the storm is the GEFS. And the GEFS did jump the opposite way, to the east, but not really that much. We know the models will shift around some more and we know from extremely recent history that the first models to lock in the correct track will be the European and the Canadian models.

Morning thoughts…

Clouds will give way to sunshine. It will be mild. High temperatures will likely reach the middle 40s in most of the region. Likely high temperatures around the region include:

New York City (Central Park): 45°

Newark: 44°

Philadelphia: 45°

Temperatures will remain above normal into the weekend.. 

Normals:

New York City: 30-Year: 40..9°; 15-Year: 40.9°

Newark: 30-Year: 41.6°; 15-Year: 41.7°

Philadelphia: 30-Year: 42.8°; 15-Year: 42.7°

The next 8 days are averaging 37degs.(29/44) or +3.

Month to date is  33.9[-0.1].       Should be 35.5[+1.6] by the 16th.

Reached 40 here yesterday.

For the Super Bowl Sunday event, the GFS/EURO say---take your boat 300 miles east and prepare to shovel the deck clear.

Today: 43-45, wind w., breezy, cloudy-clearing early, 32 by tomorrow AM.

37*(92%RH) here at 6am.     44* at Noon.        40* at 4pm and clouded up.       36* at 8pm.

Eps and gefs moving in the right direction for the vday weekend storm

Canadian ensembles have something out there as well. It's possible to squeeze something in if we get the favorable PNA spike. Just from a pattern point of view. Gotta keep an eye on it.
