Pattern January 2021 - Joyless January

The only month in history not to break 60 at RDU was January 1977 which was our coldest January ever . Out of over 130 years only 1 didn’t break 60. If the EPS mean were right ( hoping Gfs pulls through ) then for the second time in over 130 years we will have a month not break 60. This is beyond exceptional. We are due a mega torch !
 
EPS, GEFS and GEPS all indicating some good high pressure finally making it's way southward during the D8-D10 range, which has been the key missing ingredient for keeping sustained cold air supportive of wintry weather into our latitude. Obviously need that high to get further southeastward, but may be something we can work with. Certainly lends a little more credence to this range that the EPS is excited about.

Weren't the last 2 January's and February's payment enough for this colder bout?
 
Looking at the 6 hour members, a lot of them show something moving in from the NW (sorta miller b fashion) then it transfers quickly to a coastal/miller A, sound similar ?

The good thing that we’re seeing is that it’s really wanting to put high pressure in the area that we need it. Give me a 1036-1038mb high in the right location the last week of January/ first week of February and I’ll take my chances.

Please just please be right, it’s been a month since I’ve smelled 60 if I’m not mistaken View attachment 66537

The last time for me was 12/28...if it doesn’t hit 60 on the 26th, there is a real chance that KCLT could go the entire month of January without reaching 60 degrees. I don’t know that this has ever happened.
