Pattern Fab Feb

Euro AI would be one of the strangest southern snow storms ever. It does it completely with the northern wave. Just another solution.

KATL discussion about next weekend..

This is the part of the AFD where I get to do my favorite PSA -
friends don`t let friends share single model runs of 10:1 snow
totals 8 to 9 days out on social media. From any model. Yes, I am
judging you for posting that GFS run. Anyway, while the
operational version of the GFS keeps posting varying fun totals,
the GEFS puts the probability of an inch across areas around
15-20%. The probability of 4" is basically 4%...a single member,
most likely. So, let`s just pump the brakes on talking about the
next storm, and wait for a bit more model consistency (the Euro
ensemble, for instance, locates probabilities a bit further north
than the American). We`ve got bigger fish to fry this weekend.

That's one of the funniest NWS forecast discussions I've read.

Here is a composite for all winters that had an official SSW in late November or early December. We had one this winter on November 28. The composite doesn't match what we've seen out west this winter, but the west-based -NAO is noted.

Hopefully we see a storm chance next weekend. Then at the end of their runs, the ensembles are pointing to the following weekend (Feb 8) having a potentially nice pattern as well with -AO / -NAO continuing. It would be nice if we could get the trough to work back more into the central U.S. -AO / -NAO combined with a trough in both the central U.S. and eastern U.S. is a very nice pattern.

With the stratosphere forecasted to undergo a solid weakening in early February, and with what may end up trending toward a SSW in the 2nd week of Feb, I think the -NAO continuing makes sense

After the February 8 weekend, here is what the Euro and GFS Weeklies show for Feb 8-15
