Day 5 Not as good as GFS, GEM, or FV3 hmmm

Day 4

Day 3

Day 2 WOW quite a bit further east than previous run

00z ECMWF Day 1 arctic trough 2 notches east from 00z last night

OMG after seeing Andrew's posts I was so excited I pooped with the toilet seat up! and I didn't even care! Sure, it was messy and smelled, but OMG did you see that incredibly historically historic pattern? !!!! What we're seeing on the 00z GEM and GFS is the EPS pattern unfolding on the operational runs. 00z ECMWF in 26 minutes

WOW Day 3.5 !!!! The low level cold is going to be bitter through the Gorge into PDX! Did I not say earlier that we might just go right into an arctic blast pattern.

Day 3 backdoor cold to modified arctic air. Wow MUCH COLDER! and 18z

Past 5 NAM runs centered at Day 2, 4 PM Sunday. Animated GIF. Watch the gradual eastward movement of the arctic trough and low. Also the block amplitude increasing. Nice trend. Keep that up the next 4 runs and OH YEAH! https://imgur.com/tmChzBS

00z NAM trending colder! HR 45 00z and 18z

Yep, it did real well for that event. HRRR did fair too if I remember correctly.

sNOW! 00z NAM in 21 minutes

Very interesting. NAM sounds similar to the WRF. 00z GFS in 3 hours 28 minutes

Day 7 when is that last time you saw this much blockiness and positive anomalies? WOW. That's nuts! The mega block potential might pull the PV vortices right friggin over southern BC at this rate.

Me too. WRF has consistently shown this. I think ECMWF and NAM to an extent too.

Day 6

Day 5

Day 4

I will not be all that surprised if this trends to where the cold trough holds over us/southwest of us and we go right into an arctic blast.

Day 2.5 what a gorgeous 500mb pattern

Probably won't make a difference. Need it to move out off BC further south closer to Vancouver Island.

Day 2 HR 54 Arctic trough and low two notches east

Day 1.5 (10 AM Saturday) Animated GIF of past 8 runs. See the trend I have been talking about for a few days of the block strengthening, amplitude increasing, and improved amplification up through Alaska. https://imgur.com/xaf6qyB

18z Sober Uncle Day 1 block 2 notches stronger than 12z

18z GFS Sober Uncle. Yeah, Drunk Uncle is at a mandated AA meeting. Just roll with it. Begins in.... 14 minutes (1:27 PM) Think Cold and SNOW!!!! ❄ ❄ ☃ ❄ ❄
