I’ve seen them be very stubborn before and then cave late. Esp RGEM. But they can still be directionally correct in the mean….in other words, the flatter models will trend toward them. GEFS and EPS don’t have any members as amped as them so I think the RGEM/GGEM eventually come east at least somewhat. I’m still going with a compromise.

Most are famine…it’s been a very good pattern for upslope snow so anyone on the NW or W side of big mountains are going to be doing well. Hopefully we start getting some more synoptic events going.

Some spots could put up some impressive lows during the middle of next week if we can decouple with snow cover. -20 to -25 850 temps while decoupled with snow cover will make some good numbers. Nothing super crazy but I’d expect a lot of below zero readings in the usual rad pits if that happened.

I like the RGEM in the short range....I'm not sure I'd use it as a marker at 72-84 hours....it's a piece of fringe guidance at that range imho.....GGEM can be ok, but again, the GFS is better than it at this point during winter season for our region. Maybe years ago they'd run neck and neck. I def still look at the Canadian...it still scores enough coups and it was the model sniffing this threat out days ago when all others were completely flat like @Typhoon Tip already mentioned.,

Yeah agreed. That’s what I meant when I said it was “directionally correct” but may be a little too west verbatim now. But if we still get the final solution to be anything lien the GFS or heck, even more of a weaker advisory event like the euro, it’s still a win for the GGEM in the D5/6 range. It does score coups now and then. @40/70 Benchmark will never forget December 2022 coup it scored when our east coast blizzard turned into the apocalypse for Buffalo while we enjoyed another grinch rainstorm.

IF we can keep that ridge nice and poleward into the Bering and north of it, then I think we'll continue to have chances even if we have to deal with a cutter mixed in at some point. It will keep loading the source region with arctic air so the airmasses won't become perpetually stale.
-
Just mentioned above in my post to Scott that the Euro ensembles have been reducing the SE ridge....but a bit of model battle because the GEFS have it more stout for the beginning of February.

Looked good for the start of February too. I've noticed on the ensembles too they are beating down the SE ridge. It's still there, but we're north of the gradient, which is what we want to see.
