Wintry 1/9-12 Winter Potential Great Dane or Yorkie

Still have a signal, collect the W’s while we have them. I love seeing another major model run showing the @SD idea with the vorts. Long way from the finish line.

The fun (read: nauseating) thing about all of this is each day increases the stakes. Down runs in the bottom of the ninth. Can’t win it with one swing of the bat, so let’s just get runners on base
 
The GFS did almost exactly what I'm looking for (me, not everyone). It not only dropped the C Plains wave down out ahead of the baja wave, it did 2 other things very well...1) it sent the base of the wave forcefully south into Oklahoma, and 2) it dropped the wave down positive tilt - if more neutral tilt, it would have been warmer out ahead of it. As we've said, drop it down forcefully into OK in positive tilt, then jerk it neutral late

18z EPS was better than 12z right? So hopefully the 0z operational and eps trend this way. euro op run would be a super energizer to confidence if it trended
 
00z ukmet looks great... partial phase with a surface low south of LA gulf coast at hr 144... 850mb temps running west/east pretty far south.
Speaking of the UKMET. Snow Mean trend on the 18Z run of the MOGREPS-G (UKMET Ensembles).

i still think we can do better

this is very funny to me. this is seriously the low? the synoptics are nonexistent. most of the snow has fallen by now. almost all the precip is basically from qpf nuke shrapnel experiencing isentropic upglide. i do see your point but think there's room for more digging and to go negative tilt a little quicker. lots of potential left

Yes, I hear ya....the last piece would be for it to even go negative at the base of the trough.....but that adds more winners and losers. Farther south you are, the more you should like sliders that don't press the warmth back to the NW as much
 
Why is there a min east of the Apps? Asking for a friend.

It's not downsloping, so I assume it must be a moisture transport thing. I don't have the pretty maps yet.

profile is all westerlies because this storm is running on no synoptics and all vibes

kind of funny to have a snowstorm with everyone having a wind from the west
 
With this scenario, leaving that baja low cutoff and left behind would give us another plausible opportunity in the following days. That energy would have to slide east at some point and most likely on the same latitude. Northern stream energy continues to dive south as that thing just marinates. I love to get my cart ahead of my horse.

That would indeed be a trip Jimmy if the baja wave came out as storm 2 lol. Would harken back to the double barrel storms in Jan 1982 (1st one was the OG Atlanta Snowjam storm)

Eh it makes sense, low-mid level FGEN and WAA and the snow right above FGEN band/WAA. Can see the Lee side screw job though IMG_3185.pngIMG_3184.pngIMG_3183.png
 
You know we’re getting better when we’re finding different options for snow instead of a driving rainstorm
I was thinking same thing, this a great sign, in a way it's like having ensembles coming to the same ends with different means to get there.... it's a good thing
