I don't have my hopes up for this upcoming event. Sure we have great blocking but the PAC and the SE ridge are not cooperating. They haven't all winter. I admit I can't completely rule it out but I don't it's coming back. It was only ever on the CMC and EPS control anyway.
Both the GEFS and the EPS show a period of below normal heights with no SE ridge the 14th- the 20th., my money is on the day after ST Patty's day.
