My thoughts haven't really changed. The pattern is favorable with the HL block and some improvement on the Pac side. Late week still looks interesting, as does the period early the following week. Time to shift the focus from tracking the longwave pattern to tracking specific threats.
By midnight! lol Things have shifted a tad since then. Looked like temps would be rising this evening. Been in the 30s all day here until the last hour. Up to 40 now. The rain ended up a bit colder.
50 tomorrow.
Try a beer. Try a real one- a craft ale, maybe a fruity/juicy IPA or something, not a Bud lite lol. I wouldn't go straight to trying liquor, although a lot of young adults do just that. Jager bombs ftl.
Look at the evolution at 500 mb. It's wonky af. Short answer is it all comes together too late/too far north for us.
eta- I meant to reply to @Scraff lol
I generally agree. I think the ensemble members/mean maps have a little more value once the models hone in on an actual threat- provides an indication of the confidence in the event for given locations, but should never be taken even close to verbatim wrt to amounts.
I think it has a lot to do with the pattern. In this case with a stout block in place/strong confluence, there probably wont be as much of a tendency for north trends towards game time. More likely to tick south a tad.
I agree about it being a bit suppressed this far out- it's right on the doorstep.
