Pattern Jammin' January

So far, the 0Z GEFS is supporting the colder 0Z GFS just as the colder 18Z GEFS did the 18Z GFS. Part of this is a developing strong -NAO. If it could get very strong as this run continues, we should see a big NAO drop on the NCEP site tomorrow, especially for days 10 and 14.
 
What I see when I go back over the last 10 GFs runs is there is a clear trend of heights building over AK however our heights over Greenland have been back and forth. No clear trend there at all imo. This thing is far from over but it’s nice to see a storm showing up on most global models tonight. It’s probably better that I run a trend loop with the GEFS
 
No -NAO for this threat period on the GEFS but heights are trending in the right direction. We haven’t had it for the past decade but we’ve still found a way to nickel and dime our way through winter

I see a -NAO on 1/27 on the 0Z GEFS that only gets stronger through the run. Look for a drop in the NCEP NAO tomorrow!

Apologies. Trend loop malfunction ??‍♂️ Sometimes I really hate TT but it’s all I’ve got
 
No problem. Greenland 500 mb heights well above normal 1/29 to the end of the 0Z GEFS run.
You can really see that -NAO doing a number late in the run. Lows running the coast and circling back into Canada. Fun to look at. It’s been a while
 
Also for those worried about precip totals at this juncture: don’t. There has been one constant so far this winter and that is that these things trend wetter. We need a south trend over the coming days, assuming we keep this general look going forward.
 
That accumulating snow on the mean is less than 50 miles from @pcbjr to both his Ne and his NW! Wow!
Given the range of solutions we've seen and the amount of cold air potentially available, I think flakes in the air even for you during this period is a non-zero probability. Of course if that happens it probably wouldn't be good for me...
Told you guys this had potential. Still just potential but it's inching close to being a legitimate threat with the increasing ensemble support. 00Z GEFS was a nice little nod with plenty of room for more.

FWIW, Wednesday/Thursday gfs/fv3 still looks little interesting
 
Looks like a week LP in Arkansas by hour 168, 850 are supportive of snow in the majority of the southeast but I can’t see sfc temps on tidbits
 
Won’t be long before a model run shows a really good run for us Carolina folks for that storm, will probably show a sfc Low develop/transfer towards the sc/ga coast and move up the coast and deepen, its going to happen on a model run, mark my words
