Looks like perma ridge is coming. Some chance it shifts a bit west eventually.

Quite the cold front hitting me and the central/north sound!

Could get warm again later on

Wow, lots of huge GOA ridges amongst the EPS members during week-2. Jim & Jesse must be high as a kite right now.

I see that.

I spy

Looking at 0z runs another ridge is looking more likely. Hopefully some more nice days.

And that is actually an eastward shift from the 12Z run.   

More of a direct hit.

18z eps

Not looking forward to low 50s after this taste of nice weather.

New Euro total snow. Nice period of mountain snow again.

Can only see GEM on CONUS map on Tropical Tidbits... but it looks completely different than previous runs for next weekend.  Much drier and warmer.   GFS not on board though.   Models are all over the place.

Interesting how Ai euro caught onto changes  early. Compared to regular euro.

Much warmer Tuesday... and stays reasonably mild the rest of the week.   GEM shows the breakdown from the west now as well and is warmer later in the week than previous runs that showed cold air coming down from the north.

GEM not updating on WB... but big shift late in the week over last 3 runs.

Looks like 18z euro AI went that direction too

Gfs run should be somewhat better for chilly trough. An actual base on the ridge this run.

Looks like we are heading back to deep troughing next weekend regardless of how the ridge breaks down.  

Gem seems to sometimes get crazy when it gets to day 10  like gfs

Spring 2008 had a lot of this. That was a great spring and a fantastic weather year overall.

I support 2008 repeat

Classic double reversal taking place. This type thing is a hallmark in spring during our cold periods.

Double reversal?

Compare the 18Z GFS and the 00Z GFS... can't even follow shifts in systems between runs.   Its entirely different.  

I like the change

Day 10 on the ECMWF has a very legit cold air mass over us.  Continental also so the lows would be very impressive if it happens.  That is especially true for the night following 10.

Agreed.

Day 10 on the surface map looks very much like the weather we had today. 

Does it though? The temperatures at 3pm day on day 10 are 45, today it got into the 50s.

Colder in BC this run.

ECMWF is really insistent.   Probably can ignore other models.   Also looks like it has a new shade for the lightest snow!

Looks sort of like gfs but gfs is delayed a lot.

Nice gfs run. Just noticed it has snow in spots on the morning of the 26th

PV ends up in Alberta on the control.  Cold for us if it happens.

Control probably out to lunch as usual
