Pattern Failboat February

That's a pretty incredible arctic block. You'd think we couldn't screw that look up down the road with mjo going favorable.View attachment 168015
Don’t recall one forming so clean and annular like that with the AK / Scandi combo. Now to get it closer in time, drop south, and with Pacific side help
 
Sorta strange how "weak" the GFS was with that storm considering the 500mb evolution. I would have expected a sub 970mb nuke going up the east coast.

If the arctic block breaks down by hooking up with a WC ridge thanks to MJO forcing... we will get a monster East coast storm and crazy cold afterwards, imo. Finally got an operational run to show that just now. That's what we need to root for.

You talking about this one? It looked pretty warm and rainy.

Yea, a storm in this time frame is probably going to be a table-setter, but the if the arctic block retrogrades/congeals cleanly with a pumping west coast ridge, we could score in this time frame too I think. Basically like this run just showed.
 
I'm still interested in the pattern going forward but until we pull the vortex through and establish the 50/50 in the north Atlantic it's a cutter/wedge party. It's weird that the last years we've had these -naos with the best -anoms over the upper mid west and central Canada. Maybe it's that way a lot and I just don't pay enough attention
 
It’s a wonderful May evening here in Central SC. AC running. Kids outside playing with shorts & short sleeves. Touch of humidity. Heck, it’s almost the 4th of July.
Heck even pop up showers in my area southern midlands. Clouds building fast, nice ole May Day.

The ensembles seem to agree on a clean congeal of the west coast and Atlantic ridge around the 16th, then a river of cold air flows SE all the way to us, which is great.

But after that we lose ridging in AK so the cold hangs to the north because we get ridgy along the south of the US. More of a N pacific flow rather than polar flow maybe. I don’t know, who knows. Just wait and see I guess.

I like where we’re headed toward the last week in February

That upper low finally swings through helping to beat down the SER and a ridge in the west tries to go up coupled with a super block...the last week of Feb will hopefully be a window. I don't know what it is but we seem to have a lot of events in Feb the last week of Feb.

Yep. The ceiling is higher than normal for a high-end east coast winter storm. The pattern is super active, and we'll be in the process of aligning several key background elements favorable for winter weather.

When all us said and done, it wouldn't surprise me for a lot of areas to end the winter with much above normal snowfall, outside of the deep south/Gulf coast.
 
12z euro looks warm after late in February. Beginning to wonder if all this cold is nothing but a tease. And if it does come we will just be dry. Seems like the Tennessee way for sure.
