Beyond Winter Intermission

UKMET has a nasty cutter - might rain all the way to Caribou in that scenario LOL. On the plus side, its 2nd wave is better defined and further north than the GFS, though it still gets caught in the confluence grinder eventually.

Lots of warministas humping the GFS today lol.. In for a rude awakening

UKMET/GGEM/NAM/GFS are all warm. I guess you've got the NOGAPS in your camp which is comforting.

Well other models also show this, but I'm a little uneasy with how unstable things are. I wouldn't be shocked at a correction south, but the GFS certainly is not unreasonable imo. It all depends on that PV, and I don't think we'll have a great idea at how things progress, until tomorrow.

Well Messenger has locked up a mild rainstorm for most of NE...so I guess that's the way to go

So that's it then..It's a rainstorm for everyone right? noone sees any snow or ice at all in SNE. That's your call. Luckily it's noone elses

No but when every single model that's come in today aside of the NOGAPs is mostly non-snow it's not all that exciting.

May change, but your mispresenting things if you're suggesting it's just the GFS.

Okay, we get it - you're thinking warm.

That said, I wouldn't hang up on those solutions if I were you. There are plenty of arguments for this to correct S, many of which are proven in history. Namely, descending(ded) NAO means farther south storm track. Also, cold air will tend to verify S of middle range guidance more than 50% of the time. The fact that over the last 24 hours all the runs have flipped flopped on where to align the baroclinic axis is just as overwhelmimg a red flag that says you should not rest on these solutions.

Factoring all this stuff, I really believe this comes S...

It's worth pointing out that even if even if the storm itself cuts across the Great Lakes, the strong WSW flow and WAA at 850/700 mb would likely bring in overrunning precip. well in advance of the low. Therefore, areas like BOS, CON and ORH might see a few hours of thump snow followed by a change to freezing drizzle or light rain.

Nothing but rain events from here on out Monday is 50 and rain to wipe out any remaining snow..and then it's nothing but smooth sailing into spring. Spring flowers bring golden showers ..Some are forecasting this..so it must be the way to lean

I'm pretty sure he's trying to bust your chops too...lol.

4 days out with this pattern, and anything could happen. As of now, I would just expect snow to some sort of a wintry mix for now, and that might include rain for some. I would not go straight snow or liquid. That's really all you can say.

Of course the posts are intended to irritate me..but he also does really believe this is mostly a non event for all of SNE with predom. rain. just as he also believes there's not a return to any winter coming..and March is mild with little to no snow.

That's his forecast..and that's fine

About half of the GFS ensemble members have a strong first system on Mon cutting across northern New England, and half have a much weaker wave heading off the NJ coast or the Delmarva with SNE getting the northern fringe of precip.

There is only one member in between, with a track from near BGM to Cape Cod.

The mean trended well north from 0z, because of the more elongated polar vortex.

I don't have much of an opinion other way but also don't care about all the earlier solutions that were colder. We're now just starting to get into the nearer term range and as we snapped into the sub 96 hour mode the models just went north.

I've actually said a bunch of times I think it's an up and down pattern and hopefully we get more up (cold) than down. The SE Ridge for the next 2 weeks will probably play more a role than any blocking in terms of sensible weather in SNE. We've been talking about a return to winter for 11+ days. It's almost 60 out, will torch Friday and best case per the models we may get some frozen...pending the Euro, before it warms again. Late in the month things may get better, but a lot of February may have been lost.

We'll see how it goes. I'm about to go for a run on a near 60 degree day in February. Hell of a way to run an endless winter.

You like to make statements like this as if people were actually talking about winter returning for this week...we had our frigid day, but this torch was expected too...I made a thread on it back on February 5th. The return to winter talk has been for next week...just because its in the long range doesn't mean its wrong.

The euro is also slower to eject energy from the southwest trough. It digs the trough into the southwest which may be why it's a little slower..so perhaps a bias, but the PV imo is the difference maker. It has the elongation to the southwest, but this feature weakens and the PV consolidates as it moves east. It's still a volatile solution, so I wouldn't necessarily lock this in.

yeah...this is the kind of pattern that is going to make some folks look foolish one way or the other

96 in not really short term - even in the subjective "nearer term" that's dubious as a distinction considering that only one model out of all the Globals boast a better performer on D4 and that's the Euro -

Which is mightily south of those other runs ;)

We can't discount discontinuity as a the brighter "red flag" amid the GGEM/GFS runs.
