Pattern Dazzling December

After the initial Arctic boundary storm that drops down mid-late next week, the Euro is plowing the closed low over the Great Lakes / NE up into the blocking Greenland ridge and breaking it down (less +PNA ridge contributes as well) - 1st loop

The GFS has a much better looking evolution where the closed low rolls up under the blocking ridge that retrogrades into Hudson Bay - 2nd loop

This slows things down and you can see how the next wave then starts to dig more sharpely thru the Rockies on the GFS (better) vs. the Plains on the Euro

This is a key piece to watch for with respect to follow-up storm potential which would be loaded with wintry potential if this could hit right given the influx of deep south cold air.

This is what has me excited, is the follow up. EPS shows it nicely, well honestly every ensemble does
 
Looks like the 3k Nam nailed the warm front today. Seems to be very good with warm noses.
And it’s always been that way. It seems to be right with projected warm noses more than 80% of the time

To me, the EURO has a much more likely scenario than the GFS but it IS known to hang energy back in the west too long, so there is some doubt about the end game here as you would expect this far out. The key is going to be the western ridging and how strong it verifies for most of us in the SE but the NE will score bigly either way. If you want snow anywhere outside of the mountains, we need the western heights to strengthen quite a bit
