Winter Weather Threat 1/29/2019

The coldest air on the globe will be moving into the U.S. next week and right when you need the Pacific to cooperate, it won't.

Our best chances at snow/sustained cold come when the PNA ridge is strong and positions itself off the coast of Washington. The West Coast ridge next week isn't that strong so it's allowing the west to east flow to push the cold waves quickly east. It's also keeping anything from digging south.

Could you imagine the -30 to -40 degree temps moving into the United States next week coming straight south. There is a reason why it doesn't happen often, it takes so many things to line up correctly.

I dont see anything in the forecast that is showing up any colder than what we been getting. I am almost fixing to move on from this winter.

I agree except that I had already given up weeks ago. Cold has been showing up on the models all winter but its always been at least 10-14 days out. Ready to move on from this crappy season and just move on to summer. Probably will be just like last year where we were in the 80's in feburary

By the way, great job by NDG. He said weeks ago that the atmosphere was not cooperating for a widespread extreme southern arctic invasion. He always basis his reasoning with theory and sound science. And the exact same during the tropics.

Agreed

And just like that Zack puts some light back on this forum. When him and Dylan post I definitely pay attention.
