Pattern Morch

The dominoes starting to fall for a major mid month pattern change over North America. It will obviously be cold before then and we could see a threat for a winter storm show up in early March.

Nice negative E Asia Mountain Torque shows up next week and along with the MJO, starts the process of retracting the north pacific jet stream. This will eventually lead to a -PNA/SE ridge type pattern closer to mid month. It will just take a while for the downstream wave pattern to fully catch up and adjust

Need this thing to wrap up tight and hit us with a classic Snow Map..... 20-30" Elevations / 12-18" Foothills / 6-8" CAD N/W I85.....So IK that setup is actually still possible in my head.

EDIT: So it feels real I need to See Wake/Meck split in half on Mix ....sorry guys
Well if foothills can get 12-18 then N/W 85 can do better. Make it a 8-14 and we'll call it a deal!

Thats true, but im predicting a Heck of a Sleety nostril right over GSP - CLT Metro. I was thinking that 6-8" Would be accompanied by 1-2" of Pure sleet and 1/4 " FRZN .... Goodluck Sun Angle bros
 
After March 10 I hope we torch. Give me some upper 70s / low 80s ☀️🔥
Yes. We’ve got a cruise on the 20th. I don’t think i can stomach driving through any more Florida snow on my way to Port Canaveral.

When the bathtub finally sloshes, it’s going to flood the kitchen 🌵 ☀️
 
I mean I got zilch in that sooooooooo.....

Sameee

That broke my 13-year-old heart.

I'd actually be willing to gamble on a ULL if one appears this time though, otherwise, let's go to spring (hopefully average-ish weather though) and maybe next year for my area (although I'm happy with this winter), figure out how to get a cold pattern that is slightly less extreme that dumps on this corridor that me, Mitch, Shawn, etc are in, instead of to the south.
 
Latest Euro weeklies keep the idea going of early March cold then a sudden transition to spring mid-month.

I suspect after that the -NAO tries to make a come back near the tail end of March into early April w/ the -PNA & Scandinavian ridge returning and western hemisphere MJO orbit, all usually precursors to said -NAO regime.

Then a few weeks later (mid to late April or so) all hell breaks loose w/ the tornado season, especially over the lower-mid MS & TN valley. -NAO regimes also usually precede periods with big tornado outbreak potential in the spring by a couple weeks & this year's base state is very conducive to big outbreaks. Arguably the closest thing I've seen to 2011 since.

So ready for chase season to begin. Hoping I haven’t got drive to far see the top action close by this spring . Before things shift west in may
 
Early Morch possibly could deliver for NC and TN, but it's nigh impossible further south. But, I'll take any cold while I can get it before the swamp air returns for good!

edit: I'm forever calling this "Morch" now.
It’s not as hard as the warministas would have you think to get snow in march. We are due.
