  1. that negative anomaly over the Rockies is likely the GEFS trying to parse some larger storm signal more than anything IMO. you can see it on the vorticity plot kind of a ridiculous look with the AK ridging, 50/50, -NAO, and vorticity from the Plains into the SW. the elongated TPV is also a classic feature of these blocking patterns
  2. i know what you're referring to, but the difference between this look and the last couple of years is that the core of the negative anomalies is over the Rockies and northern Plains. there's also a crap ton of confluence showing up. I see a potent Rockies vort running into confluence with cold air in place without the confluence? sure, not great, but the Atlantic changes the entire pattern
  3. sorry for conflating the favorable pattern / big storm stuff. usually one just leads to the other haha
  4. I think that system establishes a 50/50 for a larger threat afterwards
  5. lol i know you’re on the big storm train. the similarities are uncanny, obviously not calling for anything this massive but the pattern really is analogous
  6. @psuhoffman i know you had mentioned 1996 before… look at this lmao the similarities are uncanny obviously not calling for anything like that, but the N ATL blocking dipole, -EPO and split flow with active STJ is begging for something big
  7. yeah, I kinda like the 3-6th more... Arctic airmass gets entrenched with a 50/50 ULL sitting nearby, block weakening and an open STJ. fireworks with this kind of look
  8. yeah this is the timeframe I like for a larger snow event... very cold airmass has been established with a potent -EPO, there's a N ATL dipole with lots of confluence in the 50/50 region, and split flow. the STJ undercutting is something out of the Modoki Nino handbook too
  9. I'm worried about the airmass for that threat, though. I think there's some kind of wave that moves through afterwards as that one you mentioned establishes a 50/50 ULL that can be a larger snow threat
  10. well defined trend on the GEFS to develop the AK ridge sooner and remove the trough from the SW
  11. well defined trend on the GEFS to develop the AK ridge sooner and remove the trough from the SW
  12. the vort moving through over the next 6-12 hours should spark some decent snow over NNJ. likely some coatings up to 1-2”
  13. can’t wait for people to say this is cold and dry. this is perfect for amplification into confluence along with a decaying block and an Arctic air mass feeding in IF this is legit, this is the kind of pattern that presents high end potential from DC-BOS. just need to give it another week to see if the block is real… i think the Pacific is going to end up favorable
  14. yeah, it’s a very open flow… ripe for amplification. the block is actually doing its job too with the clogged up N ATL
  15. it can be +15 over N Canada and it would be more than cold enough for us
  16. you want them to torch… means it’s a -AO pattern with cold air being displaced
  17. the GEPS sees the vision at 15 days out lmao perfect synoptics
  18. big 50/50 showing up trapped by the -NAO. could have something larger showing up around the 6-10th, but that's a ways out there. lots of the pieces seem to be in place. very high confidence in a -EPO, and confidence in a -NAO is increasing by the day
  19. would be hilarious if we got the Modoki pattern during a La Nina. open STJ and everything
  20. GEFS is amazing. notice the open STJ too, true split flow
  21. they are showing that for like 24-48 hours. do you think that will be an issue after the 3-5th? honest question
