Impressive Omega block.

Oh look, it evolves into this, another omega block with a cutoff low along the Atlantic coast.

This is probably not exactly how the pattern will transpire, but a strong signal for a generally blocky regime with a cutoff low remaining off the MA/SE coast across global guidance. Pretty wild.

True?

 

Don’t know for sure either way, but wouldn’t surprise me in the least if this year the anomaly is calculated relative to the 90-20 norms vs 2014 calculated against 80-10 norms. And in absolute terms, this year wasn’t as cold. But that’s just a guess.

Can one of the smart weather people explain why the low that ruins our weekend sits off the coast and appears to reverse and bring even more rain/clouds for the rest of next week?

Looks like high pressure parks off the coast for a few days- leaving the low no escape.

Also, a much stronger than normal ridge will develop behind the weekend low over the Great Lakes/Ohio Valley and northeastward into southeastern Canada resulting in a NE flow over us going around the ridge than could be strong enough to retrograde the low back to the southwest. 

Side-note: While it's still early and SSTs are generally in the low 20sC off of the SE coast, save for the Gulf Stream with ~25C SSTs, I'd watch for signs of the low acquiring sub-tropical characteristics should the pattern play out as advertised.
