Wait are we really complaining about this run?? It shows arctic air on our doorstep in 8 days with the LM already already getting several inches. Dont be fickle people! Dont buy the Nito madness. If this is our rug pull then damn I'll take it compared to previous events.

We may need to see a SSW event to dislodge that PV.

Meh. I was only talking about things up to next Friday’s storm potential. At one point that was looking legit, now it isn’t. Slop fest, rain at sea level and arctic air lagging 36hrs behind

Arctic air is coming this way within 8 days. Relax. Also the mountains are getting obliterated.

Another ridge merger around the Aleutians at day 9. That’ll probably kick some energy out of Alaska with a shortwave sliding down the coast around day 10-11

Haha. How is saying Friday’s system shows rain at sea level, being negative. It’s not my fault. Blame the GFS

This run is much better than previous in the longer range. As for Friday too early to call anything.
