moneypitmike Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 The sun is starting to do it's dirty deed ..6 weeks after the lowest angle day. Today we have had very light snow all day with sun at times...half inch tops. Actual sheltered temp. hasn't been above 26. That light amount melted right off the roof of my car....nasty. I was thinking the same thing today Rick. Even with substantial cloud cover, the increasing angle is allowing melting on the driveway in spite of the temp of 26.1.

Used to be I'd leave work in darkness at 4:30. Now the sun has not yet set. Sadness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OKpowdah Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Agreed. This storm will do a huge number on the baroclinic zone, and we'll end up with a much weaker temp gradient over the east--> weaker UL confluence, and thus we'll have to watch out with disturbances tracking from the SW. HOWEVER there is also no sign of an end to a very active, perturbed northern stream, and will help prevent any huge warm ups. The biggest "threat" may come early next week as the Pacific jet intensifies into the NW. Result? Maybe a few days 5 degrees above normal. Then the ridge out west reintensifies, and cold air comes pouring back into the northern tier by late next week. All the while, numerous disturbances are tracking through a strengthened northern stream. Once a negative AO is revived by week 3, all the cold air bottled up in Canada comes pouring down, and one of the disturbances riding the late season arctic blast will produce big time. We're not done with KUs this winter. Somewhat OT I know, but keeping with the general LR theme to the thread, Warming occurring in the upper stratosphere, and the ECMWF indicates a SSW developing over the next few days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone from the general public who reads BOX's current AFD would be totally lost. Ekster is great at making it more accessible to everyone.
