Burger, I'm no pro, but I believe it's just an artifact of the STJ.  I've heard it said that when you have an active STJ, the latitude at which the wave enters the CONUS is the latitude at which it exits.  I'm sure that's not always true, but in this case, the Euro shows the energy in the STJ nicely, with wave after wave tracking basically west to east across the southern tier.  This part of the equation is just what we need.

 

I knew it was something obvious...it just looked odd to me on the surface.

Impressive looking -NAO on 12z Euro run today late.

Like to see if the ensembles agree with that strong of a -NAO, or even close.  If it does, it holds, and we still can't score in NC, I give up.  I'm moving to Boston with NCrainpacker!

 

Does the EURO lose the -EPO in the long range?

^^ Nice!  I'd like to see that big low in the Pacific tick a bit SW.  But man, what nice blocking.  Ladies and gentlemen, look at those maps.  You have been waiting a long time to see that.  Who knows if it helps us get snow, but that's what we want to see when we ask for blocking.

It's a beast but it's taking its shots. Take a look at 30/50hpa on today's euro run. Splits at those levels (still cold as heck) and 10hpa getting disturbed. 

 

I'm not really worried about the strat. It's clearly not the pretty blue target it was during all of Dec and major disruptions typically pop up in the medium to short range.

 

Just looking at that, impressive.  Op GFS agrees, it gets crazy with the warming late in the run.

US HAZARDS OUTLOOK
NWS CLIMATE PREDICTION CENTER COLLEGE PARK MD

SYNOPSIS: A LOW-PRESSURE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO DEEPEN OVER THE NORTHEAST DURING
THE WEEKEND. IN THE WAKE OF THAT SYSTEM, HIGH PRESSURE AND COLD AIR IS FORECAST
TO MOVE ACROSS THE CENTRAL U.S., THEN SPILL SOUTHEAST. MULTIPLE, WEAKER
SYSTEMS, ARE ALSO FORECAST TO TRAVERSE THE GREAT LAKES REGION THROUGH THE
MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. AN ACTIVE PATTERN IS FORECAST FOR WESTERN ALASKA. LATER
NEXT WEEK, SOME MODEL FORECASTS INDICATE THE POTENTIAL OF A MORE ACTIVE PATTERN
FOR THE WESTERN U.S.

CALIFORNIA, THE NORTHERN GREAT BASIN, PUERTO RICO, THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST, AND
THE SOUTHWEST.

DETAILED SUMMARY

FOR SATURDAY JANUARY 09 - WEDNESDAY JANUARY 13: A LOW-PRESSURE SYSTEM IS
FORECAST TO DEEPEN OVER THE GREAT LAKES AND NORTHEAST DURING THE WEEKEND.
SNOWFALL IS EXPECTED TO BE LOCALLY HEAVY (GREATER THAN 4 INCHES) OVER PORTIONS
OF THE INTERIOR NORTHEAST, WITH LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS NEARER THE COASTLINE AND AT
LOWER ELEVATIONS.



IN THE THE WAKE OF THAT LOW-PRESSURE SYSTEM, BRISK NORTHWESTERLY WINDS (25-30
KNOTS) ARE LIKELY TO SET UP OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS AND GREAT LAKES.
NORTHWESTERLY WINDS AND COLD AIR MOVING OVER THE GREAT LAKES ARE LIKELY TO
SUPPORT HEAVY, LAKE ENHANCED SNOWFALL, FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD. SOME MODELS
DEPICT MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF SNOWFALL INTO THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK, BUT TIMING
DIFFERENCES PRECLUDE THE DEPICTION OF A SPECIFIC HAZARD, AT THIS TIME. THE
COLDER AIR IS LIKELY TO SETTLE OVER THE GREAT PLAINS DURING THE WEEKEND, WHILE
SOME MODIFICATION OF THE AIRMASS IS LIKELY BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.



SOME MODELS INDICATE THE POTENTIAL FOR GUSTY WINDS IN EXCESS OF 35 KNOTS MOVING
FROM OVER TEXAS TO PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHEAST. WIND SPEEDS ACROSS THOSE REGIONS
ARE LIKELY TO BE LOWER THAN FURTHER NORTH, SO NO HAZARD IS DEPICTED AT THIS
TIME.



MODEL SOLUTIONS ARE COALESCING TOWARD SOLUTIONS DEPICTING ANOTHER LOW-PRESSURE
SYSTEM MOVING INTO THE WEST COAST LATER NEXT WEEK. DIFFERENCES EXIST IN HOW FAR
SOUTH THE SYSTEM IS LIKELY TO IMPACT, BUT MOST MODELS AGREE ON SOME HEAVY
RAINS/MOUNTAIN SNOWS ACROSS CENTRAL AND NORTHERN CALIFORNIA DURING THE MIDDLE
OF NEXT WEEK.



A PERSISTENT TROUGH IS FORECAST OVER THE ALEUTIANS. WINDS AND RAIN ARE LIKELY
TO BUFFET WESTERN AND SOUTHERN ALASKA. SOME MODELS INDICATE PRECIPITATION
EXCEEDING HAZARDS THRESHOLDS, BUT OTHERS DISAGREE ON SPECIFIC TIMING, SO THAT
UNCERTAINTY PRECLUDES THE DEPICTION OF A HAZARD.





FOR THURSDAY JANUARY 14 - WEDNESDAY JANUARY 20: LATER NEXT WEEK, SOME MODIFIED
COLD AIR IS LIKELY TO BE IN PLACE OVER THE CONUS. A SLIGHT RISK OF MUCH BELOW
NORMAL TEMPERATURES (ODDS FOR DROPPING BELOW THE 15TH PERCENTILE EXCEED 20
PERCENT) IS INDICATED FROM THE FRONT RANGE OF THE ROCKIES TO THE SOUTHEAST. AS
THE AIR MASS MODIFIES, THE AREAS OF RISK DECREASE IN COVERAGE.



HEAVY PRECIPITATION ACROSS CALIFORNIA AND PORTIONS OF THE GREAT BASIN IS LIKELY
TO EXTEND INTO THIS PERIOD. MODEL UNCERTAINTY PRECLUDES A SPECIFIC HAZARD ANY
FURTHER EAST THAN THE SIERRA NEVADA MOUNTAINS.



THE MOST RECENT U.S. DROUGHT MONITOR INDICATES A DECREASE IN THE COVERAGE OF
SEVERE TO EXCEPTIONAL DROUGHT (D2 TO D4), FROM 12.65 PERCENT TO 11.56 PERCENT.
