  1. here’s a good example of why the GEFS having a temporary “Pacific onslaught” isn’t really bad at all. the same thing happened in 2016. there was a surge eastward of the aleutian trough, leading to even some ridging into the C US and Great Lakes. a wave slipped underneath, the trough retrogrades, leading to a transient +PNA and boom
  2. i generally agree, but this progression has such high confidence in modeling that you’re able to identify windows where potential is elevated. i’d say somewhere around the 21-25th holds the greatest potential for a larger event
  3. my guess is that you get a vigorous wave coming onshore around the 20th, the Aleutian low retrogrades, spiking the PNA, and that's how you get clobbered. everything is in place there, TPV is perfectly elongated
  4. and the MA had a 10" week and change, I know nobody cares about that here, but still
  5. my guess is that you get a vigorous wave coming onshore around the 20th, the Aleutian low retrogrades, spiking the PNA, and that's how you get clobbered. everything is in place there, TPV is perfectly elongated
  6. it's not bad at all. confluence is building in, Canada is pretty blocked up, and the PNA is rising quickly
  7. March is 10 times more of a winter month for most than December. unless you're far inland or pretty decently north
  8. I agree that once we do get a storm, there is likely a transient Rockies ridge that forms from the trough in the GoA
  9. this is for the 13th... I would expect a rainer at that time
  10. we’re in a good spot. i’d be more nervous up towards Boston
  11. and it’s more than cold enough, you don’t need vodka cold for big snow. if it’s too cold, i’m sure i’d hear people here complaining a lack of moisture or something lmao there is ALWAYS something to criticize with patterns, but it’s worth illustrating potential as well
  12. the stretched TPV migrating to the 50/50 region alongside a retrograding and decaying -NAO is a signal for a large storm, especially when you have a potent STJ involved. i don’t think that’s unreasonable at all
  13. we’ve had a ton of Ninas since 2018 and this is a blocky Nino pattern. the composites from those years won’t really hold water here
  14. we should see IO forcing for a while. nice
  15. RMM plots are FINALLY taking the MJO into 8 and 1. hovmollers have shown this progression for a long time, but the RMM plots have had a difficult time of it
  16. that trough near Baja is split flow... allows for large waves to enter the flow and increases phasing opportunities. there really aren't any ways to criticize this pattern. it's one thing if it happens (much higher confidence than normal that it does), but that is pretty obviously a very good configuration
  17. but why would it suck? nothing is pointing in that direction, even climo by itself would lead to a good Pacific pattern
  18. I think that this pattern allows for a true high-end event later in the month, generally from a potent southern stream vort traveling underneath the vort and phasing, but yeah, you can get clipper or Miller Bs from the AK ridge. I would say that this probably favors SNE rather than NNE for sure, as there can be some suppression depending on how strong the blocking and associated 50/50 ULL get. I'd feel a lot better in Danbury than Nashua
  19. yeah, I was strongly considering that! lmao it seems like we have more confidence now, though. the change is going to occur, just a matter of how long it lasts and how much the pattern actually produces
  20. just a gorgeous evolution... very high confidence for a semi permanent 50/50 ULL, west based blocking, and a stream of waves off the Pacific undercutting the AK ridge. all three ensembles share this same progression as well, there is great agreement there too i'm kinda wondering if that trough moving eastward in the Pacific is the storm, or if we just get a lobe from said trough
