Pattern January Joke

EPS AI looks more wet/active week 2 in a workable pattern....🤷‍♂️

Yeah maybe the East Pac Low can send some waviness thru the weaker western ridging here near month end and get some systems running a bit more west to east instead of NNW to SSE over a tall western ridge. Jet is nice and extended here, albeit a touch poleward. No tropical forcing issues seen. Just gotta ride with what we got and hope we get episodic high pressure to our N / NW and try to time it out with a wave / storm

That split flow really looks good to me, with with the flow south of us. The snow mean is crazy good this far out as well. With high pressure constantly to our north in this set up perhaps our goalposts are a little wider than usual to close the month. Completely different than this weekend's sadness.

The AK sea low does remind me of early December though where waves kept cutting the western ridge down, sending the cold and the storms to our NE. Never quite getting south enough. Hope we don't have a repeat of that, and like you said perhaps some southern vorts push through the ridge. That's quite a split flow shown verbatim.
 
Big storm signal from GFS Op and Euro Op Day 9-10 Jan 25th. Looks like a front pushes down and as it's sinking south, several LPs ride along as we get a big Artic push. Probably trend to big Ice Cad areas, with snow on backside. Buries state of VA in snow right now.
I think this might be our next legitimate winter weather threat. It's a ways out but the ingredients might be there for a big event if conditions are right. We will have plenty of time to wait and see if anything materializes. Hopefully areas that miss out on Sunday's storm can cash in on this or something else down the road.
