Pattern January Joke

EPS AI looks more wet/active week 2 in a workable pattern....🤷‍♂️

Yeah maybe the East Pac Low can send some waviness thru the weaker western ridging here near month end and get some systems running a bit more west to east instead of NNW to SSE over a tall western ridge. Jet is nice and extended here, albeit a touch poleward. No tropical forcing issues seen. Just gotta ride with what we got and hope we get episodic high pressure to our N / NW and try to time it out with a wave / storm

That split flow really looks good to me, with with the flow south of us. The snow mean is crazy good this far out as well. With high pressure constantly to our north in this set up perhaps our goalposts are a little wider than usual to close the month. Completely different than this weekend's sadness.

The AK sea low does remind me of early December though where waves kept cutting the western ridge down, sending the cold and the storms to our NE. Never quite getting south enough. Hope we don't have a repeat of that, and like you said perhaps some southern vorts push through the ridge. That's quite a split flow shown verbatim.
 
Big storm signal from GFS Op and Euro Op Day 9-10 Jan 25th. Looks like a front pushes down and as it's sinking south, several LPs ride along as we get a big Artic push. Probably trend to big Ice Cad areas, with snow on backside. Buries state of VA in snow right now.
I think this might be our next legitimate winter weather threat. It's a ways out but the ingredients might be there for a big event if conditions are right. We will have plenty of time to wait and see if anything materializes. Hopefully areas that miss out on Sunday's storm can cash in on this or something else down the road.
 

It’s the gfs, too soon. But yeah look at all that high pressure to the north. You love to see it.

A bit of Nino-like split flow along the west coast with stream phasing here on the Euro AI at month end yields a storm that is on the northern side of things, but an interesting look overall

With the last image there you’d think it would be bigger storm. Maybe more ice around clt. But I would be amazed to get 2 inches of snow right now though. So starved.
 
Tonight will be the coldest of the winter thus far. The Iguanas won't be happy 🤣

It’s quite a cold night in the SE! Here it’s down to 37 with gusty winds lingering to make it feel like it’s in the 20s. The forecasted low is low 20s, which would be the coldest of the winter so far beating two 25s in Dec. It would easily beat the coldest so far this month of 31.
 
Messing around, I asked AI was it gonna snow sunday in Asheboro. It says better chance Asheboro sees snow jan 25th. Gave it a 60-70% chance. We shall see.

💀 💀 💀 IMG_7574.jpegI’m learning to hate AI. I’m guilty of using it but I’ve grown to find it is a toxic echo chamber and it 100% can cause psychosis
