  1. Way too early to say that. Even the GFS ensembles wete warmer than meet up. But, Luckily we have time to see if we can improve it.
  2. Winds increasing aloft, but not too bad yet. Closer to lunch time will be a bigger issue. Expect some bumps into the Carolinas.
  3. Full blown SWFE on the 6z GFS next week. Euro has some CAD, but not like GFS. Hopefully that improves.
  4. Changes were evident early on. On the 18z GFS, you can see the s/w kissing the CA coast causing the main s/w near Denver to start moving NE at hr 150. At hr 144 on the 00z GFS, these two systems are much farther apart. As a result, the first and parent s/w dives well south and is not allowed to amp up as much due to confluence. Because it can't amplify, it's taken to the grinder. Not sure if it is right or not. Hopefully it is.
  5. Some big changes next week on the GFS. That s/w that causes the low to cut west, digs farther south is just seems a bit weaker. Thus, a more SWFE and cooler solution for now. To me, the massive ULL SW of Greenland almost forces this to not amplify.
  6. If you look at it hemispherically and want to see how things like tropical cyclones enhance the jet, it actually adds some value. Stuff like that is cool. I know a met at BOX who probably would love to use that word..
  7. LOL, yeah. Unfortunately not a lot of operational value there..but good weenie stuff.
  8. 12z GFS FV3 has a more SWFE look to it. And Dear God...Santa brought us some new tools for Pivotal Weather. Awesome we can get so many soundings now.
  9. Yeah I agree with Will. If anything maybe it means some areas start as snow is the precip can break out well ahead, plowing into HP. I’ll give it a shot for a partial SWFE for SNE, just keep expectations real.
  10. Feel like it will be tough to avoid the cutter after. That ridging in the EPO domain and eventually onto the West Coast will cause the s/w to dive south in the desert southwest. I guess the good news is that it may be weak and lack a lot of rain for ski country, but I can't really see how that's avoided. I suppose it could be more icy in the interior perhaps.
  11. Yeah as long at it stays like that and doesn't get shredded out. Would be a nice festive deal.
  12. I think it’s less than that. Probably an inch maybe two in spots.
  13. Euro has a potent vort but surprised how dry it is. It can’t really get a surface reflection and inflow Going. Despite that, probably a mid level magic band somewhere in there.
  14. Right. I’m just hoping we avoid a total dud through 1/1. There’s some support for something near the 30-31 too, so I feel like we can at least grab a few between now and then.
  15. It’s still real weak And might not be much of a thing. Guidance has been on and off with a separate thing sort of breaking off from the potential cutter.
  16. The pattern looks to be after New Year’s right now. I don’t count a little snow and then the cutter deep winter.
  17. Yeah that destroyed the 15-20" that fell from the Jan storm in a lot of areas, esp coastal areas.
  18. Yep. Hopefully we can snag an event or two prior. I could see the 27-28 trend flatter and/or south..but I'm expecting something non-wintry for my area anyways.
