Pattern January 2021 - Joyless January

Is it just or since April have the mean trough/ ridge axis seemed completely out of wack ? Normally the coldest and bottom of a trough is Tennessee / Alabama area, rule of thumb is always further east less cold .Thats why Huntsville Alabama and Greensboro nc have the same annual mean minimum . However ever since April it has seemed to be completely out of wack and instead an abnormal further west you are the warmer . Just look at models for Tuesday . Places NW of me look as warm or warmer .
 
This IS THE WAY. We've tested this theory every which way possible. We need the high to build in and to do that we need that upper low out of the way. I am truly shocked at the GEFS though, was not expecting such a dramatic shift. Wow.
Yeah that’s a shift you’d expect at hour 144+ or something like that, geez

Yeah I was looking at temperatures in a lot of these models and there’s a few things I notice ... the cold is going to be rushing in but will there be moisture left? GFS looks like it’s randomly dry as soon as conditions become favorable at 850 .. but I see temps in the 30s on a lot of the models when we have good amount of précis over us .. this is very very close to a crush job for NC ... I’ve been saying we don’t want to be in the jackpot at 140 hours
 
WOW I WAS TYPING UP THAT TWEET BEFORE I SAW THE UK ... yeah I swear this is like clock work with classic NC winter storms coming back in medium to short range
Shoutout for sticking with it, man. I fully admit I gave up after 12z runs today and now it looks like it has a chance, regardless of how it ends up.
 
Loving what I see on the UKMET! I read that the UK at one point had a bias towards placing features too far south, do yall know if that's still something it struggles with? Seems like the UK has consistently been modeling the storm south of the GFS, Euro, etc.
