Pattern Januworry

Hoping we all can cash in over the next 3 weeks. Exciting times. FFC throws a bone in its latest discussion…

LONG TERM /Monday through Saturday/...

Only minor concern in the long term period is likelihood of
winter precip next Saturday.

What`s left of front should be mostly out of the area by early
Monday with strong NW flow and below normal temps pattern
following most of the week. One shortwave expected to drop down in
NW flow on Wed but almost no chance for moisture return in this
pattern so only clouds expected. 12Z deterministic GFS somewhat of
an outlier with deeper wave traveling west of the area with a
little more clouds and a spot or two of light precip. Even GEFS is
dry so only 5-10% PoPs for Wed night this cycle.

Wave digs deeper and amplifies as it moves into the Atlantic with
very strong NNW flowand subsidence over the area Thurs/Fri.
Meanwhile, upper low over the SW CONUS left behind in split flow
finally progged to kick out east across the southern states. These
kickers are notoriously hard to get the timing right and models
can be off by 24-48 hours. So anyway, assuming the wave does move
into the SE by next weekend, we would see a slightly favorable
setup for light winter precip at onset with liquid precip falling
into cool and very dry low levels. With very low confidence in
pattern and generally low model confidence at day 7-8, have not
included in official grids at day 7 but do have a spot or two in
our placeholder for day 8 (sunday).

This GFS run reminds me of that GEFS Ext run from last night where it got stuck in a loop, shown here from Day 4 to Day 16

Low pressure stuck over Scandinavia / Barents Sea
High pressure stuck in E Asia
Low pressure stuck in the Aleutians
High pressure dropping down E of the Rockies
Low pressure running off the E Coast

It's not a -NAO type of setup, but it's about as good as it can be on the Pacific side. And as others have mentioned, getting Nor'easters to run up into Newfoundland slows down the N Atlantic flow a bit

Same here for the Pacific jet where it gets stuck with max jet extension just north of Hawaii
