My understanding has been that the p v was to split and send down at least two cold lobes into  central then the eastern US late this month, but the MJO would be somewhat muting, and delaying its effects here on the east coast. Was it a pile of rubbish i've been reading, or still being worked out? 

yes SSW was to be peturbed, and if so, would not show up at lower levels (lag time).  MJO wasnt horribile looking but NAO was going notably + and trough west often means ridge east.  Hoping things sort out a bit better moving forward.  

this weekend looks rather nice.

6z AI EPS looks good for Sunday into Monday & the 6z Regular EPS at the end of its 6 day run improved as well

Low of 34. Love hearing that the overnight runs moved in a positive direction. Seems like we’ll have a real storm to track. I mean, we’re basically only five days out already. Big runs the next 48 hours.

Would be really nice to get one more sizable storm.

Fog should burn off later this morning, and we turn much milder with highs well into the 40's our normal high is still in the low 40's. After today there is at least a chance of rain each day with maybe some snow mixing in on Thursday night. Our heaviest rain looks to be on Friday, and we can really use the rain. There will no doubt be rumors of a snowstorm starting next Sunday....but the good news is we don't shovel snow rumors!
