yup. it wasn't there a couple of days ago, but if it is real, it's a game changer and makes this threat viable. helps lock in confluence and a cold HP in SE Canada. SFC temps are not a problem as a result. we need to see this maintain on ensembles
i will say this. if this 50/50 is real, it is game on. that feature is a game changer and forces the vort under the block while locking in HP in a perfect spot in SE Canada
people are really just saying shit at this point. and using extended weekly control members to make proclamations about the pattern. wild times we live in
pretty significant trend to increase blocking and a subsequent 50/50 ULL. this changes the entire synoptic setup and makes a colder coastal storm with legit confluence more likely. need to see the ensembles pick up on this
the meat of your guy’s season (and really anyone south of NYC) is like Jan 20 through Feb 20. anything before that in a strong Nino is gravy. you guys can hit your averages in 48 hours
different story if you’re in New England
theoretically, that cutter should force a block via wave breaking. that’s what we’re hoping for anyway. regardless, we’ll see a transition back to an Aleutian Low regime as the Pacific jet gets its act together
idk. i think most people expected very little through the first week of Jan or so. the forecast myself and a colleague made for our company had a blowtorch December lmao
it literally is cold enough to snow on the 7th though. this is why your point is lost on some. it takes a week to recover from like a +5 month, and it is cold enough for the risk on the 7th
wonder why we haven’t seen any posts about this, but we’ll use the GEFS to say that the planets might have to align for it to be cold enough to snow lmao
