Pattern Januworry

Going to get something here pattern over the lakes and NE should keep it from cutting big time but might ruin good cold deliveryView attachment 102501
Yep, energy over lakes prevents high pressure from gaining strength and cold delivery via cad, since higher heights up there rise sfc pressure, we either need that to back off or we need some strong but quick moving N/S diving into PA/VA then the S/S system moves in
 
This is still legitimately close to something big with the vortex in SE can and S/S wave, Kinda reminds me of the look that appeared last March but backed off as we got closer, also somewhat similar look to feb 2004 at H59A70141F-C3D7-44D0-8BCB-173B4312E96B.png
 
This is what I mean, shift that SE can vortex south more and it gets more interesting View attachment 102504View attachment 102505
Yeah, all we really need is for those higher heights just east of Greenland to move south a tad and all of a sudden you have the same set up of the biggest snowstorm CLT metro has had in the last 100 years, but about 5 weeks earlier on the calendar
 
I'd rather be squishing at d7-10 than already amplified. Ways to score here but ways to send it west of the apps
Idk, I’m really a fan of the trend here, we finally managed to get the TPV phased with some energy/lower heights in the Atlantic and have a nice -NAO block now, low heights in the 50/50 region, and a southern stream that seems favored to stay further south, this pattern looks good and looks prone to Miller Bs especially 54FA470C-EE93-4832-B56A-1FF3E250BAA6.gif
 
So many moving parts in this pattern. Models having a bit of a hard time with it. But eventually I think we get something to track inside 7 days.

Euro really extended the pac jet again the end of the run and had a monster Aleutian low

Not a bad thing long term. Will cause some sweaty armpits and thread bans in the short term

Think we just stay the course here in the medium-extended range (Jan 15-30). GEFS is probably too amplified out west and EPS not amplified enough. GEFS is more of a -EPO pattern with episodic cold highs dropping down (colder, better chances farther south and/or Miller B, as has been stated), while EPS is more of a split flow / weak +PNA look (not as cold, but could have some good chances if timing is there). I still think a quick retraction of the jet back to the WPac (back to -PNA) is the least likely scenario. AAM charts are trending up, so, more evidence of westerly momentum getting charged into the Pac jet and keeping it from doing a quick retreat. GEFS is probably overdone on the -NAO, but still think we may have an opportunity there. AAM charts from @MattHugo81 on Twitter

Keeping it simple, on a scale of 1 to 5 with 3 being avg and 5 being excellent, I'd view the 2nd half of Jan as a 4 (better than average).

My hunch is that we see a -NAO take shape, but it sets up as more east-based. If I'm wrong and it becomes more favorably oriented, then we can move the dial on your scale from a 4 to a 5. It looks like there's lots of energy to work with.
