Not sure how this gets weenied as it’s just a fact per models they don’t show nothing in the extended period precipitation wise but keep it chilly. 

The number of vorts flying around gives me some hope that we can get something in the right spot over the next two weeks. Does suck to exit a period of tracking with nothing obvious on the horizon.

Yeah sounds accurate to me. Something could definitely pop up but looks northern stream driven for the next 10 days atleast. Hoping to get a clipper get underneath of us.

Yup

Northern crew avert your eyes. Would be amazing to be back to tracking again. Was briefly mourning having nothing to look at.

This is the one that’s going to screw all you greedy southerners.

You’re joking but it’s true. Clipper type systems are likely going to trend north with time. So far north that AI and gfs already have it too far north :lol:

Don't look now, but the extended 00z EPS cancels out any major warm up through New Year's. While the pattern does not appear favorable for a HECS, it sure as heck beat Pacific Puke for Christmas.

I'm not writing off Pac Puke just yet.  The solstice warm-up seems to be the most unstoppable atmospheric force on earth for 15+ years.  It hasn't mattered whether we're in Nino, Nina or Nada.  It hasn't mattered whether the first half of the month was good, bad or meh. It hasn't always meant a warm Christmas day per se as we've had a couple of powerful yet ultimately transient cold shots.  And several times we've had normalish surface temps but with torched mid and upper levels.

2017 - 2018 is probably the biggest exception to this rule that I can remember off the top of my head.  It was warm right before Christmas but then turned chilly on Christmas day and then brutally cold around New Years and the first 10 days or so of January.  Even then it was a dry cold with no big storms.

Clippers have been so rare, be nice to get one 

What's great about the 12z euro is 2 clippers are north and 1 clipper south. 

M/D area in the screw zone for all.

Dought it goes down like that but it's comically sad for our area.

Not a ton of support in EPS to the Euro op’s solution of a storm passing well south of us. But looks like a good handful or two. Just eyeballing Pivotal maps.

Very true, and I'm okay with that. It shows a decent signal for DC north. image.png.8317143f5e813d5e8f77bf868b8979b9.png

I just did an h5 analysis of that Euro run and the intricate interplay between multiple pieces of energy(vorticity) that allows the one that induces 'our' storm to sharpen and dig that far southward and it is pretty insane how it worked out. What would really help get a NS vort to track underneath is a sharper/more amped PNA ridge, but its being kept a bit 'flat' by the positively tilted WPO ridge and downstream trough.

No that's just an add on. 

Actually,it was intended to be a bit facetious, but accurate, joke. He actually pointed out good numbers on the SOI showing the Niña fading, but the SOI numbers themselves were "negative."

Happy hour for @Bob Chill for Monday-Tuesday

Maybe I’m just feeling a little saucy since we did well today but part of me really wants to try and will this one back. Need to try and decipher the h500 to see what it would take but it can’t be impossible 

thanks @CAPE
