Pattern January 2021 - Joyless January

I've been taking a little break from posting on here (for personal reasons) but I've been watching from afar. But I am glad to see things coming back to work in our favor. At least for now. Let's keep this mojo up and hopefully reel ourselves- board wide- a decent winter storm!
 
Starting to get this into the D10 window And this looks mildly interesting, not a bad pattern for Cold air damming to pop up given the SE Canada vortex and the S/W handoffs From the west
Coast trough
Worth noting that CAD doesn’t normally appear until D 7-8 on ensembles 4E571025-E5E0-455F-A35D-C2235F9A85F1.png63805848-5FA3-437C-917B-1047EC4DDFB8.png9771635F-E41E-487B-90EA-C6567221048E.png65F69E65-FED7-4748-87C3-E141323C14B4.png
 
One thing I’m noticing is the significant retrogression of the pattern, as the pacific block heads <<<<<<, so does the trough with it and the ridge out ahead, I’m noticing the models want to slowly retrograde our ridge to the central Us and SW, and bring the trough in the Atlantic towards the EC23E4EC4F-9006-4128-A9A6-4B952502D645.pngCEDAB185-CB0C-4B44-BDD1-5936778CFF93.pngAA0CB164-592C-4CF1-9096-E3220FAACB78.png

I'd be interested to see P6/7 500mb composites with similar enso and how they rolled forward.
 
This is the worst run to run inconsistency I’ve ever seen. There is little to look at beyond D5. The trash heap of tossed model runs is growing exponentially.

I think it’s a very wild pattern .. with large amounts of blocking like we are seeing it’s much harder to predict how certain pieces will interact with others because the atmosphere is doing wild things under those blocks.. add in some SSW and youre bound to have inconsistencies.. I do believe as soon as they get a handle on the pattern things should start seeming more accurate and less wild.. they just need some time to figure out what the hoot is going on
 
I like this EURO (this run lol) look in the end of the short term range.
You have the sub-tropical trof digging east and se of HI...You have a massive ridge going up over AK and building to the pole. You have a -NAO that is DEF. WEST based.... The SE ridge is there (sorta) but will be squashed later. Big high pressure building that will drop into the US.

I feel like that dump out west comes out much fast than what the op run is showing... That is a nice high nosing down tho.
I hope so, can't wait to see if the EPS supports it. Realistically even if it was legit that -nao would likely pay off for NC/TN not so much farther south
