Pattern January 2021 - Joyless January

[Montanasnow30]

If we are still waiting at the end of the month might as well put a bow on this one

i totally agree well at least we can look forward to fabulous February if January don’t work out

I think we will know in 7-10 days.

Indeed. I liked day 6-10 on the euro we actually poked some ridging into the Arctic circle and tapped into that.

The control has a big storm north of I-40.

That seems pretty close!

It's been kind of showing that off and on for a few days, but the blobs of cold keep rotating back out and away. I thought yesterday's D10 looked really good when you ran the loop. But then it didn't make any progress to today.

EPS is actually a little bit better than last run

Congrats to those 2 tiny areas in AL lol View attachment 61800

Rates will overcome. Lol

Need to see the heights rise near & north of Alaska to force Eurasia to share some of its cold air w/ N America.

 

[Rain Cold]

That seems pretty close!

Problem is, close at that range usually doesn't turn out well. You need a slam dunk at range if you want snow around here, most of the time.

Low-level warm anomalies retrograding towards Alaska by day 10 on the EPS. We're getting closer to opening the refrigerator door.

The 60s in central va make it even better

Classic Raleigh to Roanoke to Greensboro cold hole .

It's happening

-NAO legitimately backing off after January 10th on the EPS, that's usually when the mid-Atlantic tends to score in regimes like this. Might be a hot take but I want to see a big storm there at some point & hopefully by mid-month so these air masses aren't as stale when they arrive here

288 hr EPS showing a closed mid-level ridge north of Alaska in the arctic circle.

Should start to see some of the really cold air over Siberia get transported across the pond & into N America once this feature goes up.

Really would be nice if we could dislodge a TPV

 

[Ollie Williams]

Wow! The EPS is literally almost the exact H5 look for Miller A storms in NC!

 

[Myfrotho704_]

Nice to have the EPS as eye candy rather than the GEFS/GFS

 

[Webberweather53]

Yep, definitely a big -EPO-like signal being hinted at on the EPS as we approach mid-month & if that comes to fruition, then we'll finally have legit cold air masses to work with for most of the board. Provides even more credence to the Jan 15-25 period I've been outlining imo
