It does have a scale, but if you're on a phone, you need to turn it horizontal. By doing that, you'll see 3 icons on the bottom, right of the map. Touch the middle one for the scale. It's a probability scale.

Got it!  Thank you.  But what the hell is the white color?  Not even on the scale. lol.  I'm just bored, it doesn't really matter.  Ready to track something other than the weeklies.

Since the scale explanation mentions "significance ", I've just figured there was nothing compelling warm or cold, so I figure near normal.

The only probability scale that we should be using is the fact that any models forecasting warmth in week 2 or beyond have been wrong this season. Cold has won out since Thanksgiving this year. 
We will have our chances to score. 

The models saw this current nationwide warm spell coming, and it happened.  The NE seaboard was definitely spared the worst of it, but we can't say the warmth didn't verify.

JB was honking about this earlier on a WB post.  Hopefully it comes to fruition.

Me too. Would rather take a train of small and medium sized events over one "big dog" that just blows the blocking apart in under a week. Snow on snow is always fun!

I mean I guess I’ll settle for 2 10” storms instead of one 12”, if I must. 
 

Separately, isn’t the JMA a joke? Serious Q.
