From the end of last night's uber-range GEFS. Fits the theme of a late December blast, with a classic retrogression signal to boot. Wish there were more of a SE ridge though. I feel like most people have forgotten that the 00z runs go out to 840hr, I never see it posted here.

Today's storm will eventually loop around to San Francisco in a week. No, it's not the big obvious 1004mb low off the coast of Oregon. It's that tiny splotch of seagull farts barely below 1016mb trying to sneak onshore without anyone noticing. Probably just shy and insecure after it lost all its strength. Reminds me of Michael Tyson in a certain aspect. At least it gets its own landfall, or until the 06z makes it do one more loop for no reason

I seem to be repeating a lot of my words tonight. words

500mb heights are bottoming out to 500dam offshore. Winds aside there are lots of pressure records getting decimated offshore.

Finally seems to be calming down a bit
