January 3-5 Timeframe - Storm Potential


Baroclinic Zone

Recommended Posts

Phil and I were just discussing this over in the Pattern Change thread...

We don't think the Jan 3 system is totally a loss just yet. There is still just enough meridional surging to the flow (tied into a +PNA spike that is well advertised and verifying as we speak), that if a stronger actual S/W gets ejected out of the Pacific than is currently modeled, we could see a sharper, faster wave break heading into the OV. That would change the sensible weather in the upper MA/NE regions upon exit, in a bit of a hurry. It may not have the look overall of those previous Euro errors, but it certainly would be a pleasant surprise.

Looks great at H5.

It's all going to boil down to the +PNA spike and where the ridge axis ends up. I'm more worried about a whiff at this point than anything cutting west of us. As it stands we are going to be in a cold regime after this weekends system blows through and the sensible weather will feel like winter for once.

Lol, this GFS run, which I just had the miss-pleasure of searing my eyeballs over, makes me want quietly turn off my PC, amble on down to the local police department, and punch the nearest cop dead in the face...

I can see why these winter cats around here sounding off like a hot august night. This run whiplashes the NE U.S. between -20 and +20F swings of gradient, and producing nothing, for 384 hours. That's nothing shy of ...incredible. That's worse than deregulation on Wall Street allow 10 years of corruption leading to a economic meltdown in 2008.

haha, I suspect if that'll change.

I think it's winter like right now... 27F in full sun over bare ground is winter air mass. It was 25F with 40mph wind gust as midnight in Ayer.

It doesn't take long given the right pattern.

Exactly, in 6 weeks last winter I got 70 inches of snow, had a 3 ft snowpack, and had 55+ days of snowpack, unheard of.

Anything can happen, I am just talking about what has occured and what looks to occur during the next 10-14 days that is all.

None of us have a clue what the future holds, NONE

I wouldn't say that....defintiely tough, though.

Read from the best, in the main forum all over the MET world, people are waffling the last week on the rest of winter as if they were crushing a smothered and covered at waffle house. tough forecasting ahead anything beyond day 7, pak ak better blocking bleak, atlantic major suck fest.

take it 5 days at a time, those next 5 are snowless, then we move on to another 5 yet again.

Just about. You'll beat Messenger to the increasing sun angle posts.

Then your reading comprehension skills really ****ing suck. I said up till now, and what the models show over the next ten days is dry, and that leaves us 6 weeks of winter, unless you have re`written the calendar. I am sure you do not look at the posts like GInx made from BOX regarding how dire this winter has been up until now, but who cares.

Enjoy the rain this weekend!

Long range skill is very low, but not zero.

You need a break, dude....so aggressive and defensive.

Can I put this in the meltdown thread? Bright blue skies and cold. Putting the ice down.
