Furnace to me is +20. That’s near peak winter climo so it’s 55-low 60’s as high confidence attainable in SNE. Maybe a peak day or so within which challenges ATH’s closer to 70 in local spots. That’s my current thinking.

If it isn’t transient the regional climate is effffed lol

This look on the 23rd with the subtropical jet and a developing (significant) western Atlantic ridge is ….

We have about a week in 4-6 at high amplitude. Highest of the winter season. This is also immediately following peak ENSO conditions. phase 7 is most likely destination thereafter which is also +AN. I’m expecting a furnace in the northeast; but it won’t be reflected in guidance until we’re much closer in, around the 20th.

BOS: 60/51

Many areas in SNE gonna push 60 before this front clears. Could be a helluva nice afternoon in southeast sections to even Boston maybe…

If you want to read 384hr+ on the GEFS/EPS. Go for it. The irony is, verbatim, we lose the -NAO, and the long wave ridge placement out west is approximately 750–1000 miles too far west —the northeast will be prone to cutters and warm sectoring with that look. This especially true in eastern half of New England. Doesn’t take much to see, just look under the hood of the same guidance you’re referencing. End of the month—as advertised—the pacific improves, the east coast worsens. Not saying it will play out that way, but if you take off the snow goggles…that’s what it is right now.

Patience.

The Jan 20th to end of month period looks like an El Niño induced furnace. Hang on… Today’s 12z GFS hr 240+ just an appetizer.

Much nicer day than day prior to last storm. Higher High—> Lower Low. I’m expecting a bigger wind/rain/coastal flooding event in Seacoast NH.

Can’t handle the truth.

The wind and hydro threat looks more impressive than the previous stemwinder -Warmer antecedent airmass… Much higher dews. -less snow cover; reduce chances of low level inversion. -Southeasterly fetch tracing back to Bermuda. -low level jet pointed perpendicular to larger area of New England coastline. Very high wind threat looks to be in much more densely populated areas. Not a “just in Maine” story. SE MA, Boston in focus. -Deeper low ~972; vs 977 at our latitude.

I’m not looking out that far. Post Jan 20th increasingly looks like a torch period, a window of a week or more.

I don’t like that the El Niño forcing calmed (relaxed) this month; while El Niño state actually intensified to major territory. I believe that means it is more likely that it makes its biggest appearance yet, as MJO 4,5,6 at end of the month.

Agreed. Not looking frigid. Not severe cold. N to BN for bulk of the week. Closer to N along the coast. But a very big warmup follows.

Looks like for a week, with best snow chances for SNE of the season. But I see a big warmup beginning around the 20th. Not sure it can classify as a January “thaw” given how warm it’s been outside of far interior of NNE, but that’s the cliche. Might pass for a thaw after next week’s cold.

Not true, if you closed the shades as I'd told you, you wouldn't have noticed it even snowed.

35/25 at PSM. Allow the great melt to commence. 37/27 BOS

It always snows Winne—> north Just get them storms and a normal season is attainable

Absolutely, assuredly no. There is no depth to the cold outside your house. You will be above freezing a few hours after sunrise, max.

Fake cold. 850s already near 0C in SNE. torch it.

Denial ain’t a river in Egypt. It’s gone. It’s gonna be okay.

We back to brown
