NYC/Tri-State Area: Stumbling into January Disco

It looks like as if there is warming going on in the stratosphere, but it seems to be confined to mostly the upper stratosphere for now. From 1 hPa to 50 hPa, warming is starting to take shape, but it is no where close to 500 mb yet.

The warming at 10 hPa is REALLY impressive though.

It's very pleasing to see those extreme warm anomalies begin to press south against Northern Greenland. It's also beneficial to see those warm anomalies over Asia which could induce more troughs and low pressure systems there to pull more ridging to the west towards the Aleutians.

The other boroughs of NYC besides Manhattan especially Southern Brooklyn, Staten Island and Queens (where there is hilly terrain and parks) have less of an urban heat effect than Manhattan and the heavy urban cities of NE NJ (Elizabeth, Newark).

But the warm water negates that on the South shore normally.

The south shore of Brooklyn? If that's what you are referring to, they are not getting any onshore winds due to the NW winds canceling them out. They get onshore winds in the afternoons of summers most often anyway. Also, the ocean temperatures are dropping like a rock right now and will hit the minimum temperature in February to March.

If we could get it a little north, would we want it weak? We wouldn't want it to strengthen too soon.

It's on it's way to the gfs idea of no storm though.

Gfs hasn't had the 1st wave at day 4-5 for 2 runs now and tries to develop the 2nd vort around hour 144, day 6.

The gfs has really been schooling the euro lately with regards to east coast storms.

Not referring to just storms but look at this..

First is 180 hours

Second is 348 hours

Pretty much just transient shots of colder weather....

Hmmm.. it didn't look that bad looking at the 850 line at each interval. At any rate, maybe the 00z GFS is the GFS's turn to be negative.. 12z and 18z are always more positive.

It still may end up more north in this pattern, but that would bring the danger of a rain solution.

The GFS SHOULD be better in a Northern-stream dominated pattern like this. That's what it does best.

It got killed in the Dec 27 storm. It tried to track the thing over Cape Cod even just 3 days out and it ended up over upstate NY west of SLK like the Euro had it. Complete failure. I would never trust the GFS over the Euro unless there was a very good reason to like the Euro being against its own ensembles or something.

GFS only managed to beat it in the 12/23 system...otherwise its getting thoroughly beaten as usual.

ECMWF is still ahead in scores on the sheet for verification, right?

Yes it is...easily. But my post was mostly talking about closer than 5-6 days out. I could see there being no storm easily and the Euro being too amped up....but in general once we get in closer, the Euro wins. It wins at this time range too, but specifics are fuzzier.
