Anything from suppressed to a phase with NS wave(s) would be on the table. Well below avg temps for the central/eastern US as advertised. Ha, I was literally coming to say that, for illustrative purposes, this is a potential big dog look. PV trapped under the -NAO with a strong southern stream wave forced to move W-E across the conus with arctic air locked in. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold arrives and overwhelms the pattern = cold/dry....pattern relaxes late month and we get our typical 1 Nino shot at a big storm. 4 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most strong Ninos give us a 3-5 week heater and comes down to how many times we can capitalize. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph, your gut is one the worst possible evolutions of this pattern in terms of snow chances? That’s shocking. You are usually such an optimist… /s 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold arrives and overwhelms the pattern = cold/dry....pattern relaxes late month and we get our typical 1 Nino shot at a big storm. There could def be a time period where the lower heights under the block overwhelm. Until I actually see a west ridge on the OPs under 7-8 days I won’t believe. Pattern has potential, but im at the show me stage. Until then I’ll just assume the block will act like the blocks we’ve had the last few years . 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve25 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 How do you guys feel about the weekend of the 13th/14th? Does the overall pattern look like it would lend itself to another NW/cutter type of track like mid-week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terpeast Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 LR looks good, but I’m worried about the MJO trending stronger in the warm phases. I hope that’s wrong, but if it isn’t it might interfere with The Look. We want it to stay weak enough. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shad Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 An event around MLK day has been on my radar for a few days....the period after that also looks favorable for below normal temps with an active stream. With the way the past few winters have gone id much prefer suppression risk over having to worry about temps. A couple inches along with a period of below normal temps would do a lot for morale around here. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the past 7 years, a couple inches and cold weather in a Nino in late January is probably going to lower morale even more than it already is 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paleocene Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 GFS holds on possibility of a front end thump of snow for the monster rainstorm coming next tuesday. NW of the metropolitan fringe (areas getting snow saturday) should do best. But we all flip to heavy rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Next tuesdays cutter sets the thermal boundary for any follow up waves. GGEM makes that boundary much more favorable and has been consistently more friendly than the gfs. But gfs isn’t too far off… Late next week is still a time to watch closely. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heisy Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 This boundary type system could work if the N/S pushes out ahead a little farther E or the stj wave is slower/delayed . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Balti Zen Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 It's cool wxluvr - not specifically giving you the business but it is the posting style of a bunch of people in this thread to take a 10+ day map and say "if we-change-a-few-things-it's-Dubai-in-three-weeks" kinda stuff that's all. It's kinda funny taking the long view. And if you read enough of those posts etc. Peace, friend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heisy Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 I see eventual anafront/overrunning chances in that....I also see dead people. Yes! Was going to mention that’s an anafrontal setup if altered a little bit. Didn’t want to get trolled too much lolAnd to those saying stop analyzing day 10 maps. I know it’s 10 days, but you can still get a an idea that you might have a storm threat in the range. I like to see OPs show a path to victory ina given pattern. Storms never really pop out of nowhere. We’ve been tracking Saturday’s storm for over 240 hours . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
