This isnt a bad ops look at this range. Finally a decent look that is moving closer instead of stationary or delayed. The -NAO just a day or so after is epic but I'm trying not to look too far ahead anymore. This alone is 8 days out so yeah this can change too:
-
Ha! RGEM insistent on mid 50s here Sunday morning still. Leading the way with other guidance ticking towards it. Unreal.
-
NAM coming in N and warmer so far thru 24....not sure how the run will end but I have an idea.
-
T-minus 5 minutes before the NAM provides more false hope for the weekend.
-
So 2nd and 3rd week of Feb will rock?
-
This is like a MECS this season relative to the November HECS lol. Radar continues backbuilding and still accumulating lightly.

NAM is by itself. Either a major win coming or overdoing things as usual. Rgem is obviously warmest but fair support that says NAM is likely too cold. -
Yep ... 2nd half of January now and second largest storm of the season for us coming in at a whopping 1.2"
-
I was never big on overpaying for one player. It's not like he is going to make us an overnight contender by himself anyway. Why waste the cash? Put a chunk of that money towards a legit ace starting pitcher instead. Need a solid top 3 which we dont have still.

2 days to go til the Jan 20 date many had circled for the warm winter welcome towards a much better pattern up top. Everything still a go I hope? Missing @showmethesnow

Nails coffin and all that stuff -
Mid 50s Sunday?
-
Final nail in the coffin on the weekend? Models are considerably warmer surface and at 850 now. Far NW areas should cash in but aside from the icon and NAM basically this is mainly a rainer down here now. GFS has a couple mangled flakes to start and to finish and that's it. Same with RGEM. Next week looks like a fropa followed by a wave on the front that either cuts or slides ots under us....choose your poison on that one. 3 weeks pitchers and catchers.

Fitting....this trended s and E but the weekend system went and keeps going N and W. Some years ya win some ya lose that's just the way it is.

Pattern change ftw

Rgem is torched at 2m -
RGEM went South as well. ICON otoh is warmer and ticked N. RGEM and NAM seemed like sizable shifts anyway. Eta: weird...rgem torches the surface 2m temps (into the 40s in extreme sepa) yet is slightly colder at 850mb. Still warmish overall but track is better.

It's in its wheelhouse (weenie rule #5723 section b clause 4) -
Was only really expecting a c-2" but radar has really fallen apart. Might eek out a dusting-coating.
-
Awesome! This was a lousy year in the surf for many so one blue isnt horrible. Worst I may have ever had. Maybe we'll wet lines sometime man.
-
New NAM never gets above freezing here at the surface. 850s torch tho so looks like after 3-6" thump of snow we have sleetmageddon. In any event quite a shift in apparent snowfall from 18z: Eta: ninja'd by kamu aka snow pile guy aka squirrel man
-
Yes. Pretty avid hardcore surf fisherman. I hit the rivers in spring early and follow the striper migration then move down into lower Delaware Bay mid April thru very early May then move to the beaches and catch the run of black drum, blues, and of course the stripers moving thru. Then flounder and weakies most of summer with surf kingfish by July. I usually relax late July thru mid to late August then gear up for the fall mullet run and subsequently blues and stripers. So yeah, I fish a little.

Striped bass run in t-minus 2 months!!
-
Aaaannnnndddd 18z gfs is this exact scenario. Cant make this stuff up. This season miss 20 miles N miss 20 miles s miss 20 miles w miss 20 miles e and the tightest gradients ever. Aside from Nov which will probably be our secs for the year.
-
Weird....the JMA 850s dont match. 850s scorch but precip maps are frozen. Toss.
