It increases volatility. When you combine deconstructive indices together there's no one size fits all analog.
I think it would ballsy and delusional to forecast a cold winter. That doesn't mean 1-2 major snow events are off the table either.
That is the most likely scenario as warming continues in this region. Notice it's a lot of the over the top warming with tons of onshore flow underneath.
Looks very mild overall for the entire US with the weekend chill sort of a blip in the warm pattern. The onshore flow and coastal low could blunt highs but should still be plenty warm.
That slowdown is what's causing the energy to get left behind and potentially become an ocean storn in the onshore flow environment.
Don't know what, if any impacts will result from this but another coastal storm wouldn't surprise me.
Definitely will see tons of volatility but that doesn't mean snow either. We could have powerful, wet systems though if any arctic air gets involved then maybe.
We have about 8-9 hours til landfall. So it's a race against time with the shear.
The storm has done a remarkable job fighting it off. No doubt the very warm, undisturbed gulf and jet stream alignment helped big time.
Recon doesn't show degradation. I'm not sure what people are seeing. It's still generating very strong convection near center. It looks very steady to me.
