Not sure how it ends up but a bit beefier and more amplified ridge signal on the 12z GEFS.

I've been saying for a long time that we would likely see a sudden model flip due to the SSW event. Long range modelling is simply not sophisticated enough to be able to resolve the final outcome of such a massive atmospheric shakeup.

Now that part 1 of the SSW has completed, models are starting to resolve the upcoming pattern shift. However, looks like part 2 of the SSW event will be occurring right around the same time of the pattern change. I wonder if that will enhance the cold or cause more model chaos? Perhaps both?

In any case, looks like things are so far coming together the way I expected. :thumbup: :D :clap:

Hard to overstate the potential we’re seeing. It’s just slightly too bad it didn’t come earlier but we’ll take it any way we can.
