people have to realize that climate change is also responsible for winters like 2009-10, 2010-11, 2013-14, 2014-15, 2015-16, 2017-18, and 2020-21
just makes the bad periods worse and the good periods better
we want to see the southern stream continue to tick faster for Monday... it seems like that's the main culprit for the lowered heights later in the run:
I think one of the most important parts of the medium to LR forecast will be the NAO... if we can establish even a weak -NAO, even into Feb when the PNA becomes negative, it'll keep the TPV in a favorable spot with cold nearby
if not... not so good. the NAO is inherently very difficult to predict, so there's going to be a lot of changes, but it's nice to see modeling maintain that signal
