waiting for SD to say "boom goes the dynamite" 1029 ejected by the block from Greenland?
Yep, energy over lakes prevents high pressure from gaining strength and cold delivery via cad, since higher heights up there rise sfc pressure, we either need that to back off or we need some strong but quick moving N/S diving into PA/VA then the S/S system moves inGoing to get something here pattern over the lakes and NE should keep it from cutting big time but might ruin good cold deliveryView attachment 102501
All models have a workable look inside of day 10, we going somewhereSquished sammich
Perfect. We’re alive heading into the weekend.Squished sammich
I'd rather be squishing at d7-10 than already amplified. Ways to score here but ways to send it west of the appsAll models have a workable look inside of day 10, we going somewhere
Yeah, all we really need is for those higher heights just east of Greenland to move south a tad and all of a sudden you have the same set up of the biggest snowstorm CLT metro has had in the last 100 years, but about 5 weeks earlier on the calendarThis is what I mean, shift that SE can vortex south more and it gets more interesting View attachment 102504View attachment 102505
Idk, I’m really a fan of the trend here, we finally managed to get the TPV phased with some energy/lower heights in the Atlantic and have a nice -NAO block now, low heights in the 50/50 region, and a southern stream that seems favored to stay further south, this pattern looks good and looks prone to Miller Bs especiallyI'd rather be squishing at d7-10 than already amplified.

Implications of this?Euro really extended the pac jet again the end of the run and had a monster Aleutian low View attachment 102509
My guess is pacific ridge printer go brrrImplications of this?
Delayed retraction of the pacific jet so slowed down retrogression processImplications of this?
Need a cleaning cloth for your computer screen?
Not a bad thing long term. Will cause some sweaty armpits and thread bans in the short termDelayed retraction of the pacific jet so slowed down retrogression process
The result of this is slowed down retrogression and renewed troughing around the Aleutians/Alaska, and more western US ridge. it’s something im not mad at, but not necessarily wanting, I’m ready to go thru with the process as it is, not delay itYeah the EPS/control extended the pacific jet a little more around day 8-10 after some retraction View attachment 102522View attachment 102523View attachment 102524
-NAO trends are much more fun to look atThe result of this is slowed down retrogression and renewed troughing around the Aleutians/Alaska, and more western US ridge. it’s something im not mad at, but not necessarily wanting, I’m ready to go thru with the process as it is, not delay it View attachment 102525View attachment 102526
On the eps control yeah, the EPS mean has way less -NAO-NAO trends are much more fun to look at
I’ve seen a lot worse for early mid JanuaryWasn’t a great EPS run but wasn’t bad, solid 6/10
Imagine there are some in North MS, AL that wouldn’t mind Member 46. ?

Yeah the OP euro def looked better

My hunch is that we see a -NAO take shape, but it sets up as more east-based. If I'm wrong and it becomes more favorably oriented, then we can move the dial on your scale from a 4 to a 5. It looks like there's lots of energy to work with.Think we just stay the course here in the medium-extended range (Jan 15-30). GEFS is probably too amplified out west and EPS not amplified enough. GEFS is more of a -EPO pattern with episodic cold highs dropping down (colder, better chances farther south and/or Miller B, as has been stated), while EPS is more of a split flow / weak +PNA look (not as cold, but could have some good chances if timing is there). I still think a quick retraction of the jet back to the WPac (back to -PNA) is the least likely scenario. AAM charts are trending up, so, more evidence of westerly momentum getting charged into the Pac jet and keeping it from doing a quick retreat. GEFS is probably overdone on the -NAO, but still think we may have an opportunity there. AAM charts from @MattHugo81 on Twitter
Keeping it simple, on a scale of 1 to 5 with 3 being avg and 5 being excellent, I'd view the 2nd half of Jan as a 4 (better than average).
