  1. Even for the op GFS this is insane run to run jumps. I’ve honestly never seen anything like it. Let’s see if that has GEFS support
  2. EPS and GEFS are identical now for the 1/20 period. The pattern shift begins just after mid-month
  3. @Gawx @bluewave @40/70 Benchmark @donsutherland1
  4. It’s going as good as all your snowstorm fantasies
  5. I absolutely believe we see -PNA/RNA at the end of the month. The 2 questions are 1) how strong of a -PNA? (which you just said) and 2) is there going to be legit west-based -NAO blocking to somewhat tame the SE ridging?
  6. If you get a dusting/coating with this tomorrow, consider it a win. The floor is just virga, which I think is what all areas north and west of the city see….
  7. IMO no way in hell is next weekend a cutter or inland runner/hugger. The risk is OTS. If I’m wrong tear me apart…..
  8. The NAM loves doing this with literally every storm at this range. It has 2 runs where it over amps/comes north of all the other guidance, then it pulls the rug out in subsequent runs
  9. With the amount of times the NAM has done something like this in the past only to burn us in the end I take its solutions with a huge grain of salt
  10. The people who were hyping a historic, record east coast snowstorm (KU) pattern for 1/1 - 1/15, even mentioning blizzards, repeated tweets of “buckle up!” and invoking January, 1996 as a very good analog, look to be in the exact same boat as the historic arctic cold crowd
  11. Once the RNA kicks in (especially in a -ENSO) you want some semblance of -NAO or the SE ridge will go wild, especially if convection starts firing in the SE….latent/sensible heat release aloft strengths the SE ridge. As we’ve seen time and again the models will grossly underestimate the SE ridge at range and get stronger and stronger as we move closer in time which ends up resulting in inland runner and cutter tracks when you don’t have a -NAO counteracting it somewhat
  12. Those are RMM plots are noisy. The VP/OLR anomaly maps are more accurate and they show a decided push into the IO phases late month. Pray for -NAO to tame what’s likely going to be a -PNA/RNA developing
  13. Yea, the models (ensembles and operationals) are showing the mid-late month pattern starting to break down with some troughing beginning to push into the west around 1/18
  14. 20-21 worked in February because you had a solar minimum that allowed the locked in -NAO/-AO blocking. The QBO and MJO progression was also different
  15. Definite signal on the EURO for a -PNA late month
  16. When you consider that the models are likely rushing it some, that actual change is probably during the last week of this month
  17. The 1980’s called, they want their winter back…
  18. The ensembles are starting to hint at a late month retrogression and pattern change
  19. The tropical forcing progression supports the pattern breaking down but after mid-month. The models are likely rushing it. It’s probably more along the lines of the blocking and cold starting to break down around 1/20 or just after
  20. There’s a couple of issues besides the record warm Hudson Bay and the wide open waters there….The total lack of snowcover in the northeast/bare ground and the still unfrozen, open Great Lakes. That airmass, though arctic, is going to modify a lot by the time it reaches the east coast
