I didnt want to waste the bandwidth but I will reply. This is thru Jan 20 give or take. The real pattern change takes place Jan 21+. These maps ALL show substantial cold ready to drop South. Those maps do not imply a warm end of Jan nor Feb. Please Chuck....just please.
The unicorns look festive and cheery but we should still keep our expectations in check. Worst case scenario would be a miss with one of the systems ushering in the cold then the PV taking over and we go frigid cold but dry. It's a possibility but I think there will be fluctuations with several dips/retractions from the PV and our times to cash in will be in between. Speculation of course.
FV3CPO at range has -20s fairly deep into the Plains and -30s just North of the Great Lakes. PV is coming South this run geez. Not sure I want that spreading East or not
We went from barely anything to track to so many threats and chances thru 384 hrs+ I dont know which to post as there are several drool worthy looks. This FV3 h5 map is calling to me....my goodness:
Eta: just shift things a hair farther east and dive that NS
Didnt realize those signings they made. Very impressive! I was NEVER big on them spending 350$ million on a Harper or Machado. They made some significant improvements as you said....I can live with that. Another solid ace would be nice but maybe that's a pickup they make when they are on the cusp of being a contender. Was glad to see Santana go. Herrera needs to have a more consistently productive year in 2019. On the right track Phinally! Now about those Flyers lol.....
Fringed
In all seriousness that's the period that has looked most favorable for a few days now Jan 12-14.
Also of note all globals and ens generally flip the crud pattern over alot earlier than previously modeled. That period ushers in winter whether the particular storm u posted a map of verifies or not. Looks to be here to stay thereafter. Busy times ahead.
Where is Paul after he was starting to get a little nervous about his winter outlook?
Btw Iceman did u see the control? Both our winter forecasts could be busted by end of next weekend lol.
