Re: Solar
The literature suggests a lag of ~3 years for max effect. So that would put us in a decent enough spot seemingly. Just wanted to point that out. Not making any calls based on purely that, obviously.
Have been thinking LF somewhere very near CT/RI boarder since yesterday morning. Seems on track to me, give or take. Boatload of rain on the menu here today I think.
00z eps
I've been liking that near MTP track since yesterday while quietly observing. Would make this a big rainmaker where I am. Interesting couple days on tap.
Didn't see 00z euro ensembles posted. Personally IMHO,after absorbing models for 2 days, thinking LF very near CT, RI border with this when all is said and done.
MEI is interesting. At -1.53 it's more negative than any time last year. But also, have to go back about a decade for a comparable number.

Eps looks snowy. Didn't look at the Canadian. This is a pretty impressive ensemble mean.
And the end of the run is retrograding Scandinavian blocking to Greenland.
