Potential winter threats

I'm loving what I'm seeing and definitely staying up for the euro!

But I must say, there's a little ding in my head saying ignorance is bliss.

Still can't wait to read what HPC says about this.

haha me too I wish I could just fast forward to thursday and see how it plays out. Unfortunately thats the nature of the beast of being a weather enthusiast/meteorologist

I looked through the H5 progression on the GFS first, and it was world's apart from its earlier runs today, PV split w/ the stronger piece over the upper midwest, building heights over the SE US, consequently the s/w amplifies and bombs on the EC. Then seeing the surface reflection was a treat to say the least. Like others have said, I wish it wasn't so far away, but often times w/ major events, models can pick up on the signal about 5-7 days in advance. The teleconnectors are pretty strongly in favor of an EC storm for this period, so it's not BS for sure. Need to monitor the interaction b/t the PV piece and the s/w coming into the CONUS. Very interesting set up!

wow...:weight_lift: thank goodness the semester is about to end in the next 3 days--cant wait for those sleepless nights waiting for the Euro and possibly the 6z GFS..:lmao:

I know.. I missed checking the 6z GFS when I wake up at night. Looks like that time is back again. I only check it if I wake up - no alarm or staying up for it.

00z GGEM has the same general idea, when you loop it at the link below. That being said it seems slightly less enthused with the southern stream shortwave--and may end up a bit east of the GFS OP. The shortwave is still going negatively tilted on the last frame, so it may come up the coast still. The signal for potential remains strong.

I'm just playing around but ya ur right about the changeover. Thank god this isn's similar to that storm though otherwise we'd have to be worrying until it started snowing about who's getting f'd by the miller B

Trust me I like this better than that storm (as depicted anyway.)  This has the duration of the snowicane written all over it.  Its just going to be a long wait.  Trying to keep excitement tempered because its going to suck so much if this ends up not happening.

What are the snow ratios?  Sorry , but with a storm like this and the water so warm- the ratios will be for crap along the coast.  Also, dry slotting will screw some on this type of storm event.

If it happens as shown, we'll have a wind with a predominantly northerly component so SST should be a non issue..... I mean, remember what happened last December on basically the same day?  And I believe SST were warmer than this last year at this time-- or about the same.  Looks like temps will be in the upper 20s for most of this storm-- snowfall ratios should be 10:1-12:1

If the 00z GFS were to verify, this post would be absolutely wrong....the ratios would be normal or maybe slightly better than normal, and there would be no dry slot to speak of, at all. The H7 drying doesn't make it anywhere near the coast.

low to mid 40's this time of yr isn't warm when it could be much higher.Also dry slotting is clearly not an issue with that track...closer track yes but not with that.

ya not really sure what hes looking at...people often make these misinformed posts and all it shows is that they clearly don't know how to analyze a given model solution

Only thing I would be worried about (besides the usual track issues) is when you have a deformation band, you also usually have an area of subsidence nearby which misses out on the really heavy stuff.  I saw this two different times-- in Dec 2003 and Feb 2006.  It was my "privilege" to be on the wrong side of the band both times, in one case, it meant getting 14" inches of snow while Farmingdale saw 20" 17 miles to my east and in the other case it meant NYC getting 27"  15 miles to my west while I got 17"  These really cant be forecast well in advance-- anymore than a local t-storm can be-- its a nowcast type of thing.

Waters aren't that warm, it's not March. This track is off the coast near the BM, which funnels enough cold air to keep the coast at snow.
