Do you really believe that this may happen? Two differences between now and march 2001- modeling is better, and the block is so strong.
I mean, a 30-50 mile shift NW, sure. But 200-300 miles in this situation? I think that is less likely
Since NAM is a mesoscale model, maybe it’s seeing something that globals aren’t seeing wrt gulf moisture and latent heating putting the slp track north. LWX alluded to this in the afternoon AFD.
One would think models would start correcting more NW for that reason, but they’ve been going the other way instead. Maybe it’s still too soon for a NW correction.
Looking ahead… there will be a warm up the last week of feb into first few days of march, but it may be brief as mjo is slow to get through 1-2-3 and epo ridge showing signs of rebuilding
Honestly thought it would turn out better based on h5 leading in, but the sfc fell apart at the last minute. So im feeling what psu is feeling. Something about this feels off.
