Pattern January Joke

There’s some SW flow on that southern branch though I think.

Hard to get anything to happen with a sheared out wave and cold front dropping into the lakes. Still good look at this range!
 

Lol! But seriously, NG moves relatively little on op runs because they’re so unstable and thus aren’t very telling. So, instead it usually cares mainly about the more credible GEFS and EPS means, especially in week 2, and forecasts of mets of course put much more weight on those.

Favorable trends here for the first wave late next week, trend with the western ridge helping out with that scenario.

Same on the Euro Ens
 
Yep, keep spiking that ridge to allow the shortwave to take full advantage of the trough downstream, you could def get a decent size storm out of it.

A nice block in east Canada would go a long way here.

The mean smooths out the details. Op shows a kicker.

Sorta thing that pops up in medium range out of nowhere. Lots of time for that

Yeah we're a looooong way out. Certainly don't want it picture perfect at this range. And no need to sweat the details rn as long as the big picture looks decent. That is a huge blessing in an of itself!
 
That kinda gives me some February 2014 vibes. The first system produces a light to moderate overrunning event then you get a gulf low developing on the back side producing a major storm

There’s quite a few characteristics from Jan-FEB 2014 that are similar to the upcoming pattern. Although, Jan 2014 cold hit early than this year, we’re a little behind on that, but hopefully we’ll make up for it later.

Thank you, Everybody, for a great and respectful discussion the last couple of days. It's nice to log in and not see a bunch of arguing and insulting and derailing. Really appreciate that!
Just give it a day or two for the models to go to ---- and we will be ready to kill each other again.
 
ICON was setting up for glory at 180, EC has just enough stream separation to hamper a GOM low forming. I'm cool though with a weak suppressed track at this range. Pretty much all guidance though is showing a anomalously deep trough over the Eastern US next week, question is do we get a storm out of it.

This is just a snap shot of course, but this is an amazing depiction of what has been happening the past 4 years in potential winter weather scenarios. Notice the blues over the foothills/piedmont. This is the exact area that we were discussing has been so behind in snowfall. Whatever has been happening with the orientation and progression of cold has not allowed for sufficient cooling for those areas. Yet, historically; those were the best areas with a chance outside the mountains. Not sure what has changed so drastically but I wish it would change back.
 
Off the 12Z Eps: After this Sunday Greensboro never gets higher than the mid 40's for highs throughout the entire run. Only exception is wed 1/14 high of 50-51.

As things stand now: I put the odds of Greensboro hitting/ exceeding it's normal annual snowfall accum before Easter Sunday at 99%. Caveat is gonna be qpf rather than Cold
