You are leagues ahead of me with sensible wx knowledge, I was just going on climo experience and staring at a bunch of multiple hour model runs today. What I saw was coastal hugger or a slightly suppressed push E and weak dynamics with the perfect BM solution being a more tenuous resolve.
I have not bought my winter model subscription so I don’t see high res hour by hour so I am detail ignorant. I am just trying to learn and have fun at the end of the day.
edit: to clarify I looked at a bunch of 500 and 700mb maps trying to look for trends.
