May be?

If that trough could slow 6 hours or so In the NE or amplify a bit more, given 500mb NW flow around 40-50kts and 700mb NW flow around 35-45kts, that would easily support a MCS, but the gfs brings it though to quick so storms develop in SE NC on Monday 5386AB56-3E28-443B-A39A-06ED36B113B2.pngB5C7FF86-95B0-4164-ABC2-4F882C53CC9A.png
 
Once that ridge breaks down, CAPE would at least advect in again, allowing diurnal convection, but this is farther out so meh 4C414152-99D2-4FA8-9287-E0833A973B82.png5190C5CD-1D68-4140-B060-900340569292.png
 
I like heat, but with storms, just subsidence there with a random shower around at best
Yep, move it east and its a very summery setup, shift it west and we can maybe get some NW flow MCS going on or at least maybe some frontal activity. Where its at, dead, measuring rain by the thimble
 
I wonder if we can get one of those MCVs on Sunday or maybe even Monday along with the main energy 7C1C6245-9881-4BFF-A10C-9331DD7B909E.png
 
Wouldn’t surprise me if we get a few downbursts/strong outflow winds on Monday given the inverted V soundings, 30+ degree T/DP spreads is favorable for damaging wind gusts D47B947B-201C-4C42-A468-49B06A33B740.png
 
I know @GaWx talks about the GEFS long-range cold bias all the time, but I'm not sure how these mid-level heights could get any higher (&/or warmer)

This literally looks like almost every seasonal climate model forecast... ever

It’s just January man, nothing new, but anyways no joke gefs is on crack, lol, but I like the chances of NW flow MCSs once that ridge breaks down around here
 
Unless something changes drastically I think we take a run at 100 memorial day weekend
Just like a colorado rockies summer ! They are pleasant as some mentioned but far, far , far more unstable than we are.
 
GFS looks decent for thunderstorms on Sunday 62BC58CC-7A62-4486-9B31-7CA1D8D1F2CB.pngF18930D8-9558-4EEB-A41C-20EBCD9737A4.png
also looks solid for thunderstorms (some severe) on Monday with enhanced flow at 500mb, soundings not bad for hail/downbursts and perhaps a MCS given the straight hodographs with decent 6-8km flow C81A853A-AAAC-4B60-8013-B40A581AE4BB.png220A028B-924B-445F-910F-03E740A72558.pngE66B2190-E876-4F34-9E61-726E38DD65D4.png
 
I like this run, 500mb cutoff gets stuck under the ridge so the ridge can’t strengthen properly, means less heat, only if it could be a lock, lol 9F366249-E008-4077-B906-27A50BAA6CD4.png
 
It always get hotter and dry when a tropical system moves offshore to the north/east. A lot of sinking air on the west side. Think this induce the pattern change to dry and hot.
 
Nice little “low” south of Tyler, Texas. May be we get tropical depression on land
 
Severe threat IMO is increasing Monday given the trend to a more amplified/better digging shortwave in the NE us bringing in stronger 500mb flow and slightly better low level wind profiles which would allow for more organized convection, @SD remember that CMC run we wanted to hug, well that run may have actually been onto something... MCS with that type of flow like the gfs shows is nearly a good bet 1B440E55-6B81-43DA-8894-3408C8040EBF.gifE558BE74-1493-43AC-AB33-3E18A38FC550.gif829A835F-52ED-4761-A82E-790E014AA456.png
