January 2020 Discussion
The year and decade is ending, and unfortunately after a terrific December, that thread has derailed OT for several days. 2020 is coming fast so this is where to discuss mid-winter and the usually cold, dry month of January. Will the PAC improve, in tandem with NAO? How about MJO activity? Will suppression be a factor for storm threats?
Yes....excellent run again.
Hard to hate much about the pattern....and as ginxy said, the EPS do like the 1/18 threat. It's still in the early part of the pattern change, so there's more risk for westward solutions on that one than future threats beyond that IMHO.....but we have a good antecedent airmass for that one and the western ridge isjust in the process of building, so there's some good things going on. I'd just be cautious getting too invested in 1/18 just yet though.
