Pattern December Dud 👀

Fairly big difference day 10+ over the arctice on the GEFS v/s EPS. Obviously we want the EPS...to block or not to block....who you got...

Comes down to the latitude and extensiveness of the pacific jet. A stronger/poleward shifted jet lowers the heights over Alaska & the Bering Sea more on the GEFS. Today’s EPS took a step towards the GEFS in the long range.

It’s a delicate balance between having a strong enough pacific jet to trigger a +PNA but not too strong that we get stuck in an east-based Nino type pattern. We also don’t want it to totally retract to the point where we get stuck in the canonical La Niña/-PNA pattern
 
I expected it to be much busier in here with such an exciting pattern setting up.
we've had plenty of epic d8-d10 looks last few years that don't didn't close. coffee is for closers. we're in eternal "there's concepts of a plan here" stage of storm tracking. eyes will come when a threat breaks containment into d5
 
Honestly I’d love to score something this earlier but just having a cold December or really just some cold in general even if it’s dry is a win. Outside of a couple of weeks in totality, we didn’t get a climate fall. It took until late October and November to get upper 60’s which is above avg still
