It doesn’t seem like a set up though that’s suddenly going to switch to a cutter like the one last month, so frankly I’d like to see a quickly trend to much closer to the coast
So many times (Jan '11) we see a big storm and then a great pattern following. Then we get the big storm and the pattern goes to poopoo. Lets just a decent storm, maybe Jan 14, and then see what happens.
I'm not a fan of those patterns that look epic for the Mid Atl and SNE. They tend to not work out here. I like swfe patterns and ones that occassionally bomb out miller b style. And patterns that produce clippers into really cold air. Sometimes we can do well on the "epic" patterns, but often not.
That being said I'm not looking for a pattern that dumps all the cold and energy into the west.
