The only way this is going to work is if we get some nice thunder this week. Nary a rumble since I can remember. TIMs is out of juice. -

Sorry I didn't mean that to come out as challenge to the "winter's over" statement. It could be for me, for all I know. I had just been thinking about the MJO for the past couple days and was thinking about making a post after I looked at it. I hadn't looked at it since last week and it just struck me how much it seemed to have progressed. If nothing else it seems to be persistent, but weak this winter, but it also seems to get sort of hung up for a bit in some areas. -

TN valley heavy rain/flooding week of whenever
Holston_River_Rambler replied to janetjanet998's topic in Tennessee Valley
Euro was still a little bit south with the firehouse, so yeah somebody in the TN Valley watershed is going to get it. Hopefully nothing like the 14" amounts come to fruition anywhere. -

TN valley heavy rain/flooding week of whenever
Holston_River_Rambler replied to janetjanet998's topic in Tennessee Valley
GFS seems to be trending a bit north with the worst rainfall this week. WPC seems to like that solution: Looks pretty much like the NBM, but hedging on the higher side. Seems reasonable to me. Will be interesting to see exactly where the firehose sets up. -
Winter 2021/2022 February Thread
Holston_River_Rambler replied to AMZ8990's topic in Tennessee Valley
MJO convection, IMO, seems to be moving pretty well. It's taken it about a week and a half to move from the eastern Indian Ocean to the Maritime Continent. The TC aiming at Madagascar is a big reason why the RMMs want to keep it in the Indian Ocean at this point, I think. Below you can see how the Euro ensembles really want to jump it to the MC, but the IMO TC is forcing whatever equation Wheeler and Hendon came up with to spit out a medium amplitude phase 3. I think in ~ 10 days the MJO wave is going to be back in the western Pac or close to it. Questions though: 1. How far does it make it/ Will it be a strong push? 2. How many TCs get spun up and potential weaken any convection associated with it? 3. Does it even matter in March? -

Quick thought: I wonder if there is a sort of funnel that is created by the extensions of the plateau, that helps focus lift, if the wind is NW/ NNW: -

Maybe we can get some ice rafts going on the floods? I'll volunteer to buy the flamingo guy an orca floaty. 12z GFS -

The means, the means for the CMC, Euro, and GFS ensembles for the TN valley river systems are from 4.5 - 6.5 inches. I think flamingo man riding his floaty in front of the fellini Kroger was pretty much peak flood action in Knoxvegas in 2019. I think I was looking at the means that far out that year, so I'm going to go dredge up those posts and see how that looked. But lordy the 6z GFS gave me flashbacks with where the firehose was aimed. And it wasn't at fantasy range: -

We'd be worrying not about ground temperatures, but about the snow sticking to the flood waters: All this precip is before the snow starts. -

Holston_River_Rambler replied to AMZ8990's topic in Tennessee Valley
Yeah if it happened in early March no one in this area would likely see the effects for at least 3 weeks, but I figured I'd throw it out there since it has been so strong this winter. But if it can promote some late March blocking in the AO and NAO areas, it might help keep any dynamic upper lows south of us. -

GFS has ben showing some strat. warming at the pole pretty consistently at the end of its run, for the past few cycles. More than I've seen so far this year when I've paid attention to it. If it can hold for a few more days it might have some legs.
