18z GFS has the cutoff low closed off much earlier than any modeling so far. Cuts off at 90 hours much more south and west. 12z Para cut off over the 4 corners region at hour 120.

GFS operational 2mT 168 HR forecast bias January 2017 & the first 7 days of February... The GFS actually had a warm bias in the SE US in January while thus far in Feb it's been verifying way too cold @/around 168 HR.

Oh hi I see you polar vortex.

This run not likely to be much different than the 18z. By 156 hours the ULL is no longer cutoff, 18z held it until 2/15 00z or 174 hours. Timing as far as east movement virtually identical to 18z at 165 hours. We need this ULL hanging back and spinning around much longer (and stronger) like the para in order to allow the confluence/PV to swing in. What you see swinging in at 132 hours on the 00z isn't the PV.

This run starts a bit colder but I think this is going to be another Apps Runner.

LOL the gfs is trying. Looking like it's gonna be a big rainmaker with a perfect track

Or maybe we're about to see a great track without the cold trolol.
The PV is being held back than 18z. On the 18z you could see the edge of the vortex over eastern Canada at 12z Wed. No vortex there yet at 12z Wed on 0z. The cold will come in after the ULL on this run.

At 177hr it closes off over central TX, that's good and different than the 18z. But yeah, started jogging east way too soon, not going to cut it.

What this setup favors is an Apps Runner but this shortwave sure is trying hard to not run so far.
