I think one more Euro run should do it.

Oh yeah the models have all struggled. Flip flopping and having no consistency at all until we get down into like a 5 day window. It's kind of been like that this whole Fall.
If the Euro bites again, mise well start a thread.

It's weird that the Canadian doesn't have it lol, usually the GEM model goes bonkers for any set up like this.
Cold HP trending stronger. Position remaining the same.

Probably start one for Tuesday. Looks icy and will only trend that way as we get closer. Always does
the only model with significant wintry weather solidly south into NC i see is the gfs that people keep saying is horrible
Once the GFS goes back to a cold rain, people will call it horrible
Yeah, but if this were N. Georgia I'd be making a milk, bread, and beer run just for practice.
i think a mix at onset is possible, but is that even significant? idk, i'm leaning towards VA north right now but we'll see. i really wish these snow maps stopped counting zr/ip as snow
not trying to piss in anyone's cereal but i am not impressed by how transient the wedging high is modeled currently
that's where i am at. i hope it works out, but i'm just not seeing it for a thread right now, that's all. when we get to making a lot of threads for threats that don't pan out, it leads to confusion and stuff
Unreal energy. I live in the armpit of hell & trying to get excited for y’all. Lmaoo
goofus is the most optimistic about how far south it is at precip onset as well as keeping it lingering into sat AM hours and that's why you get a more exciting solution. i'm not saying barf yak oof toss yet, but for most of us this needs work to be much of anything. tweaking the timing by not a whole lot creates a much more intriguing output and that could certainly happen on any given model run sometime soon!

The GEFS trending colder is a good sign though
The GFS has been known to be too fast with the northern flow, the fact that is is holding the cold in longer would be a good sign, hopefully

3 consecutive 12z + 0z runs with the cut off upper low trending more progressive in the medium range, including today’s 12z that’s loading.
Odds are, this shift will further help with the CAD later this week
The euro has a slow bias with these troughs normally but it’s extra bad this year

Too soon to start a thread. We’ve seen too many systems disappear less than 5 days out the last few years
slightly weaker cold push/damming high on the 12z euro, and it is congrats VA CAD zones on this run
When the GFS and ICON are the only models in your camp showing wintery precipitation then I would put the thread on pause for now. Hopefully, the Euro and some of other models will join the party soon. Of course, the GFS could always swing back to a solution like the Euro was showing with just a cold rain for most of us in North Carolina and Virginia except for the western sections. It wouldn't be the first time that has happened. It would be nice to see what Google AI is showing for next weekend.
We need someone with academic credentials to get access to that data. It has to be applied for and then the data can be used for research purposes etc. Maybe Webb could get access, I'm not sure. I went to apply, but it's more than obvious they are targeting a certain demographic for the data aside from myself.
Also, it's likely just data, so plotting it without experience could be annoying for someone to do, tbh. I have a suspicion that these guys with their "in house best weather model" have access to it.
This is not really the ideal background pattern for anything more than a quick, nuisance event around here. If the block around Greenland was stronger, I'd be more interested. Or if we had a taller western ridge.
It's a fascinating week of seeing how model guidance responds to MJO progression.Are we in for December to Remember or will we stumble back to reality? Time will tell. Today is the last day of November. The month we have all waited for is now here.

The -NAO begins to really flex next weekend forcing the polar vortex south.
