There's going to be a monster storm somewhere. You don't often see a low 90s pressure mean on the EPS 9 days out All the ingredients are there for sure. This is aa good as it gets for a major storm signal in March. The biggest downside is climo. We missed out on big totals in 2018 because things didn't get cold enough.
-
I do think it's less likely than normal but if we get a big phased storm then it's on the table. This plot gives me some hope though. I haven't seen an MJO 8 this amped in a long time.
-
In all honesty that's what's probably gonna happen. We can't have nice things this winter.
-
I'm gonna lose it if it's another inland runner
-
Starting March 7-8 after that clipper system is when things get interesting. That's also when the MJO gets into phase 8 at a high amplitude, AO tanks and PNA starts rising
-
-
Suppression remains my biggest concern. A big sprawling 50/50 could be too much for us if positioned wrong. The somewhat -PNA does help in this regard to an extent It honestly wouldn't surprise me if places in the Mid-Atlantic 2-3x our seasonal totals.
-
Likely colder than shown. Looks like DC/Baltimore gets the brunt this time. It's just one solution though GFS hints at that time frame as well
-

01/02 will still rank #1 This March is on track to be much colder and snowier than that year
-
Just give me one coastal storm and none of this cutter/swfe nonsense Would be nice not having to worry about precip type
-
-
GFS starting to get a clue with more ridging out west and troughing in the east GEFS follows. Not delayed either but moving up in time
-
Yes that's pretty important. You don't need a +PNA you just need a less negative one. The March 10-20 period is still in play My guess is models will continue to trend more favorably as the MJO gets into phase 8.
-
Ridge out west + gulf low + big 50/50 under a decaying NAO. That's a recipe for a monster event if it played out as shown.
-
This winter moreso than others my mind already goes to the worst solution. Based on winter trends alone I'd give an edge to the GFS however the ensembles paint a very different picture. March will definitely be below normal, which sucks, but if it's going to be chilly then at least give me a snow event or two. Nothing worse than a cold, dry or cold/rainy miserable March.
-
Now if that cuts then I'm giving up on ever getting another snowstorm.
-
-
Agree with Allsnow, great calls all winter and was one of the few that dismissed the "favorable" December pattern when even Forky was on board.
-
I do think March 10-20 has the best potential to produce a significant snow event so far this winter. Better than December. I'll give it a 10% chance of producing a forum wide KU storm (10"+) a 25% chance of warning level snows (6-10") and 50% chance at another advisory event (2-5").
-
Snowstorm? I got a little more than inch that's gone already. I think most saw an advisory event at best. Even the worst winters usually deliver something. Good news is this miserable winter is just about over
-
This winter will find many ways to screw us. GFS led the charge in this Fridays cutter. I know I just think it's funny how this winter will find multiple ways to screw us
-
Big cutter on the GFS
-
The big storms happen when the NAO decays. The transition from - to + means there's likely going to be a storm somewhere The AO also follows and the PNA is trending upwards all while a high amplitude phase 8 is occurring. This doesn't guarantee a mid March KU by any means. We've seen how a seemingly favorable pattern in December failed to produce but chances are better than normal
