And another in early March.wetcoast91 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 20, 2020 6:57 am Lots of potential for a mid Feb to late Feb cold snap. SW flow gives way to a splitty zonal flow but dont see it getting cold this month.

Depressing weather. Always from one extreme to the other. AR events should stay in November where they belong.

Re: January 2020 Forecasts and Discussions
New 1991-2020 averages will be quite a bit warmer than those previous for the South Coast. Note how BC has experienced some of the greatest warming out of the entire country, while the eastern prairies and Ontario have cooled a touch.

Re: January 2020 Forecasts and Discussions
Totally disagree. The Cold pool builds again in most models. GEFS and gfs ensembles have hinted at a dive in the clown range. The 12Z operational looks like torching but primed to freeze. I think with some luck were primed for 2.0.
