kinda insane how much the -PDO has been eaten into over the last couple of months. that likely continues over the next month or so aside from the brief jet overextension from Christmas-NYE
waters near Japan actually have negative anomalies. who could've thought
I don't see that at all... there's strong HP over the top as the coastal takes shape. this looks like snow or bust with the evolution on the 12z GFS / CMC
much stronger second vort on the GFS/CMC. much easier to amplify a system into cold air rather than hope for a cutter in a shit airmass to weaken. that never happens lmao
also an easier way to get a storm compared to the 12/18z GFS yesterday where the entire TPV buckled

i'd also much rather want amplification of a strong vort into a cold airmass rather than praying for a system to trend weaker in a marginal one. the former happens all the time while the latter is quite rare. we've dealt with the latter a lot over the last couple of years lmao
