Pattern Jammin January 2024

Canadian is drier than icon,gfs. Something to watch. Gfs turns it into a nice noreaster,should keep us cold next weekend,then pattern washes out,re-sets
 
What looked very promising is now fading very fast...the pattern starts to collapse which doesn't allow the energy to dig southwest like we need. It's really a shame. But the good news is we warm up and get to do the whole death by million cutters again for Feb.

Here’s the issue it looks like to me with this… first of all I do think there is going to be a decent looking storm system in that timeframe, but on this run of the GFS and even the 0z ICON is that instead of that low along the Gulf Coast holding together, it transfers to form another low 6 hours later just south of Cape Hatteras and it starts to pull away… it brings a few hours of light snow east of the mountains. We need one of two things to happen, either the Gulf low needs to hold together and not transfer energy for about 6 hours or so later as the cold air is pushing in or we need the coastal on Wednesday to completely bomb out and slow the flow so that when that coastal develops on Friday, it’s further southwest close to Savannah and moving slower. Honestly I’ve kinda been back and forth on that system late week, in ways looks better for us than this early week system ever has, but it just looks a little off… FWIW, Brad Panovich does think this one hold real potential for the Piedmont and Upstate… CLT area included

Where did you see Panovich say that? His vlog yesterday morning he was only talking flurries and no big deal for either system. He's more focused on getting a T to say we broke the snow drought.

The west coast ridge does seem like a lock to set it in around January 27/28. All the ensembles build it up in the same place and looks to have staying power.

This may be the first winter in a while where we average below normal temperatures for the season.

Let's hope the PNA is further east as depicted by the EPS, and not back toward Alaska like the GEFS. Otherwise, it's Groundhog Day again. I'm done with arctic highs dropping into Montana. Give me some 1040+ highs into the Great Lakes and NE.

I'm done with northern stream energy period. Trying to get it to drop in and dig and tilt correctly isn't going to work 9 out of 10 times. It's just like what we have now. Bad tilt and dries up east of the Apps then blows up off the coast and maybe scrapes the outer banks and NE. CAD driven storms are about the only hope in that and they require confluence off the NE coast. The only 2 big storms in 5 years (Dec 2018 and Jan 2022) were CAD storms. Where is the southern energy with Baja lows that's so prevalent in Ninos? This Nino has been broken the whole time. It didn't even rain in Oct and November. Now all the rains are mostly from cutters and severe weather from a warm juiced up Gulf.

At least the weather has been somewhat interesting, not that that's much of a consolation.
