Winter '17 / '18 - Sudden Stratospheric Warming: Watch #1 - Update 1

Full reversal at D+5 (12-FEB) comports very well with the earlier D+10 forecast.

 

Full reversal continues at least through D+10.

Huge implications for the weather associated typically with a negative Arctic Oscillation toward month's end and into MAR.

 

 

Where the AO/s full impact is wrt arctic/s cold air drainage appears to be on the other side of the globe under the 'W' ; however ... note the NW flow regime and +PNA is progged over CONUS.
