Naughty November

Icon looked liked it would head for glory if it went passed hour 180, looks like the trough would make it here first then the southern stream wave second View attachment 52851

I still stand by my idea from days ago that w/ a strong subtropical jet, we could have a fighting chance to see something out of this if the northern stream plays ball

Wow, the subtropical jet is absolutely raging on the ICON. Very rarely see a 125 kt jet streak over northern Mexico. We definitely have some of the large-scale ingredients in place to see a particularly strong mid-latitude cyclone traverse across the south, we just have to get some cooperation from the northern branch of the jet to make it happen

Nice precip shield! Truly getting the December 2018 vibes on this run.

Here's the GEFS as a point of comparison. Hostile takeover by the subtropical jet

I think that some of the things I’ve observed in the ICON vs the GFS, is #1 The phasing of the two s/w’s in red. If that happens, then the trough can move into the NE. #2 Obviously, we need the main trough more neutrally tilted rather than positive so it doesn’t waste our moisture.

No weenie stuff, but I could see the gfs progressive bias Being a issue here
 
Obviously a lot of different setups/solution, The pattern is very encouraging, but I wouldn’t hold my breath (even though I obviously am). ;)

same, staring at this same exact longwave pattern has gotten to me, I’ve forgot the joy of a legit winter storm 50758DCF-0D22-47BA-A3EA-5E85B3D1F4C3.png
