This is no longer a signal it is a storm and a possible major one at that. As I had previously stated (and why you haven't seen too many posts from me) this is an interior favored threat. It begins the pattern change but things are not in place yet. Still, huge jumps every run.

GFS ticking slightly south more in line with how the mesoscale models are playing out. We are talking about a very strong storm so there are spots where dynamic cooling can pull off a miracle if you are in the right spot.

The upcoming pattern change is getting more and more exciting with a cross-polar flow during a -EPO/NAO. Everybody is tired of being fooled in the long ranger so take anything after Jan1 with a grain of salt (this is when the snow would occur) but the pattern change is legit.

This is one of those things that you might look at and say OTS or not enough cold air or whatever. The truth is with minimal changes this would be a really interesting event. You can see the one-run change when that PNA gets pumped more. Something to watch for sure.

Not exactly in a very fun time period right now. Nothing on the horizon tracking-wise. Long-range models hint at a -NAO redeveloping starting the second week of FEB. Long range but no reason to call off winter especially considering FEB is our snowiest month on average.

The blocking signal is getting much stronger. Pattern flip still looks very much on schedule! I think for once we might be looking at a pattern that doesn't just instantly fall apart thanks to our Aleutian low. Bigger storm chances come a little after the initial flip.

Long-range post. End of the month we see a possible interior snowstorm. (More on that later). After that it's all about re-establishing a -NAO. Nobody wants to hear it but eventually, the western trough will cut under the Alaskan ridging and we will slowly set our selves up.

Thread: A very promising pattern is on the horizon. Massive -NAO is coming (as well as a cutter unfortunately). Our first shot but a bit of a longshot comes on the 13th. After, it's game on as that will be when the blocking decays which is usually when we get our big ones.

This is the type of pattern we *could* possibly see if the pattern change is verified. Suppression becomes the issue, but personally I would take that over a cutter 100%. Still way too far out to take any operational runs seriously. Just want to see the ensembles stay consistent.

Normally you associate the troughs over Alaska and the West Coast with - PNA's and + EPOs which means warmth in the eastern US but in this case that is very evident - NAO will not allow any sort of "torch".

The big issue with why we are not seeing anything "linking up" to create a nice storm is that the southern stream and the northern stream are so cut off. Not a recipe for success. Both euro and CMC are a little different. Models all over the place still.

Brief break as we wait for the new model runs on 1/7 we can go back to discussing the long range. All ensembles agree on a strong -NAO developing after a cutter on the 10th which could potentially set up the east coast for late Jan. Major implications for mid/late Jan pattern.

It is vital to look at the overall pattern instead of hugging every model run. I have been very high on this upcoming pattern and continue to be so. EPS is very aggressive with a coastal storm as our first event (16-17th) highlighting how even the I-95 could get in on this.

Confidence has grown in this pattern change. Again I will say that this doesn't mean immediate snow as it will take time to get some cold air, but at least the AK ridge will stop the flow of mild pacific air. Big step in the right direction. First week of Jan looks active.

1/16-1/17 thread: Plenty cold on the coast possibly bringing people first real measurable snowfall. It is still far out for specific numbers but I would lean more of a minor-moderate event. 1/20 brings you that chance for a major but we will talk about that later 👀!

18z GFS (and icon sorta) bring up a shift that the EPS actually alluded to. Much weaker storm due to it being kicked up early and sheared out. There is a chance this is what you want to see if you are on the coast. 0z will be telling.

Here is the latest on the MJO: If this verifies, we can look at the last couple days of DEC/early Jan with real optimism.

Guidance currently showing a powerful cutter in the middle of next week. This has the potential for some serious severe weather.

Oh boy. The GFS has just moved itself even farther from the Euro and the CMC showing a potential NorEaster for that Thanksgiving timeframe.

Our set up for this weekends minor event starts with a cold air injection from a clipper system. Currently this looks to target the mid-Atlantic. Could see widespread 1-3/2-4. NYC is on the northern edge currently. Will monitor trends.

Things are going as planned. Once that trough undercuts a forming Alaskan ridge we might see a vort eject and cause a potential EC/MA threat.

Long-range post. End of the month we see a possible interior snowstorm. (More on that later). After that it's all about re-establishing a -NAO. Nobody wants to hear it but eventually, the western trough will cut under the Alaskan ridging and we will slowly set our selves up.

Monitoring two possible minor events. The first one is a clipper Thursday overnight. This favors Interior NE and possibly some of SNE. Then we have a slider on Saturday which has more potential for those south.,
