Pattern Jammin January 2023

Huge changes in the Pacific features run to run even at this lead time. Low confidence in any solution is in order.

12z GFS ain’t pretty.

Doesn’t look bad big high pressure moving in probably some sort of overrunning event will be shown. Again you aren’t going to get the same look every run 240 hours out .. that’s not how models work. The premise should be find the cold make sure it makes it through to the east and then look underneath for energy
 
Both not good in their own ways as the new run is just a cool shot and thats it. The old run would set something up because of the western ridging. You know I'm still not sure why I'm keeping tabs on this. Better to look at ensembles.
 
We can't win. You would think this would be near a perfect setup. Of course this is fantasy land (especially being the GFS).

I love not seeing big perfect winter storms 200+ hours out because things will change. Again, no one should have their hopes up at all as the background pattern is bad and we should be getting consistent warmth with SER were getting lucky by even having a small window of opportunity in this pattern.
 
If you go back and and look at all the ensemble runs nothing has really changed with regard to timing for our best window. We're now around 228hrs from when the front pushes through if you average all the ensembles and we open up the window to score.

All this stuff the GFS has been showing and on off before that is very suspect and not surprisingly went away this run.

Being that our best window is still between 228-300hrs, we don't really have a hint of how the evolution will actually play out. All we can take away at this point is odds are good that we will have a very strong high pressure dominating the country with arctic air to tap into.Screen Shot 2023-01-24 at 12.10.38 PM.pngScreen Shot 2023-01-24 at 12.09.59 PM.pngScreen Shot 2023-01-24 at 12.09.33 PM.pngScreen Shot 2023-01-24 at 12.09.09 PM.pngScreen Shot 2023-01-24 at 12.08.22 PM.png
