Don't be long almost bed time for Gumpy.

Looks to be sufficiently broad on the long range ensembles. Great setup to get the coldest anomalies in NA to settle in the north and interior and for the south coast to see a classic arctic blast.

The anemic SE ridge seems to be the weak link so far at this range.

The 00z Euro ends on an interesting note. That block to the west looks it is trying to merge with the Greenland block.

Its nice to see the ensembles showing this rather than the operational fantasy runs. Good times ahead. :thumbup:

Would a mega block be good? Or would a merger be bad?
