OKpowdah Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 00z NAM shows some potential for a few hours of front end snow Sunday morning. Especially north of the pike. General trend looks like strengthening high SLP to our north which would make all the difference in getting a few inches of snow before changing over.

Steve just said, and I think I've said it several time over the past few days...but man, it really sucks this clipper is advecting this airmass out of our region and not replenishing it with any CAA...a decent air mass would probably produce a nice front end event.

mahk_webstah Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Because everyone on this forum types like they're supposed to right? They use exact typographical correctness and grammar? I'll show you my transcript that has the CUM GPA: 3.861 mark at the bottom if you'd like by the way, have I told you, lately, that I love you? You also ironically goofed on your spelling of "geuss". You have a CUM GPA? They grade you for that stuff these days? Geez I just had a regular GPA.... I knew I was missing something in my college experience.....

Many reasons why this clipper totally screws us over here. We could easily be talking about a warning criteria front end dump in the interior if this was a stronger clipper moving through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the Nam the only one showing more High Pressure to our north? I like sneaky highs. I am 60 miles north of the Pike. I think something snowy will show up by Friday. Something that isn't showing now on guidance or is just being hinted at. Climo FTW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will, why have forcast high temps been busting so much lately? All summer and most of the Fall Box's temp forecasts were spot on. Now it seems forecast highs have been 4-7 degrees to high on a regular basis. I think MPM and several others have noted this as well. I've paid less attention to lows but I know last night went lower than forecast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skierinvermont Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Don S just made a good thread in the general forum about how the AO is forecasted to tank. There have been 3 times the AO tanked to -4 or lower during a Nina of -.8 or stronger ... 2 of them produced KUs and the other still featured heavy heavy snow. The AO has never fallen to below -4 in a Nina of -1C or lower. The GFS ensemble mean is taking it to -5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know i should stop i can't help it thou LOL> But DON S is the man and we gotta keep our eyes open for the real deal soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon Tip Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 BY SATURDAY...CROSS SECTION DATA SHOWS STRONG FRONTOGENESIS OCCURRING THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY FROM SOUTHWEST CT THROUGH MA AND INTO SOUTHERN NH. THIS FRONTOGENESIS IS IN THE PRIME DENDRITIC GROWTH ZONE WITH A LARGE AREA OF NEAR NEGATIVE TO NEGATIVE EPV ABOVE. THE AGEOSTROPHIC CIRCULATION IS ESSENTIALLY STRAIGHT UP FROM 700 TO 300 MB. ANOTHER FEATURE THAT IS A REAL TROUBLE MAKER ON SATURDAY IS THE POTENT PV ANOMALY PROGGED INTO SOUTHERN RI BETWEEN 12Z AND 18Z...RIGHT ALONG THE DEFORMATION ZONE. THIS IS ALL OCCURRING WITH MIXING RATIOS IN THE 2 TO 3 G/JG RANGE WITH 2.5 IN THE DEFORMATION ZONE. NEEDLESS TO SAY...NOT HOLDING BACK ON THIS SYSTEM GIVEN THE FORCING...INSTABILITY AND PV ANOMALY.

cpickett79 Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 bong hit gone horribly wrong? Don S does say a KU has never occured (since 1950) with region 3.4 enso at -1 or greater anomaly. So our odds for a KU with the tanking AO are slim in his opinion. But there is not much of a sample size (if any) for the AO Going -4 and having a greater than 1c anomaly over enso region 3.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
