Wonderdog Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 If we are going to have a storm on Saturday, it looks like the NAM hasn't caught on to the idea yet. Actually it is a much better look than the 18z run. Looks like the storm is a day faster and hour 66 looks interesting. 18z had the storm sliding off the se coast.

PhineasC Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I think that storm at 66HR is a totally different piece of energy and not really the storm we are all keying on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDstorm Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 As much as I hate to hug weather models, I would think that the Euro needs to show something soon for this weekend. Hopefully, the next run or two will get on board the storm train. It seems very few storms sneak up on the Euro within 72 hours of the event.

yoda Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 h5 charts by the time you get out into the Feb 3 to Feb 7 period show huge ridge out west and nice trough in east and then becomes ugly again after. yes, its out there... but thats prob going to be our best time period for a storm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amped Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 h5 charts by the time you get out into the Feb 3 to Feb 7 period show huge ridge out west and nice trough in east... Yeah the pattern looks in that pattern if the troff isn't too progressive. Other than that, it's uglier than a monkies armpit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ji Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Frustrating that a model can't seen to hold a nice storm for a run before it pulls it away. Don't even have time to fantasize Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheesyPoofs Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Frustrating that a model can't seen to hold a nice storm for a run before it pulls it away. Don't even have time to fantasize Going off the 0z GFS ensemble mean, there is less spread among the individual members this run as well, and I'd imagine significantly less members show a good solution. Not surprising given the the Op run, the Euro/its ensembles, etc. So we can't even use the "what about the ensembles!!!" line for this one anymore.

Don't even have time to fantasize focus on the good news: 850s are better the storm is "right where we want it" the euro and gfs are closer to aligning early feb could be rockin' -- till we get closer at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterWxLuvr Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Not looking too good. Euro has nothing. GFS still has the tease, but fewer ensemble members look good today. HPC seems to have given in as well wrt the southern energy getting taken out faster. I guess the only positives is that both ens means seem to want to pump up the west coast ridge by day 10. Maybe we'll get lucky in there somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BethesdaWX Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Here is that 'final push', right on scedule, that could have winter really unloading on us for most of February after the 7th of the month, with another period in March as MJO tries to get back into region 4 after looping from 7-3, before looping back into regions 1-3 again but missing region 8. I feel MJO is progged too slow in week 2 on the GEFS but that the general looks is in the right ballpark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNO Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 The predicted SNOstorm for 1/24-1/26: What will be right: 1. There will indeed be a strong storm, with heavy precipitation. 2. There will even be some brief snow/sleet at the onset, N&W. 3. IF, the cold air would have been in place, as it should have been we would be having our SECS. What went wrong: 1. Could not overcome this awful pattern. 2. Cold air locked up too far away. 3. La Nina, 2nd year in row, don't bet against it. I'm sorry for no snow...I wanted it as much as you did.

No, I don't think large scale forcings favored a wintry regime until February, with a transitioning 'sneak peak' beforehand. What would have altered the global state so quickly? Assuming ENSO is a property of the geomag sun, then my theory is internal regulation processes - superimposed on - the lagged base state = the operation of the thermal/kinetic budget interactive process.

Doubt it seriously. 3. No, it wouldn't. The storm path is west of the Apps. With cold, that might have been a snow to sleet to freezing rain to drizzle event at best. What went wrong ..... trying to predict a snowstorm a month in advance. I don't care who does that or what their skill level is, if you predict a storm a month in advance, and it happens, you can chalk about 98% of that success to pure luck.

As for the SNOstorm, I don't care if the temperature was below zero today. If a storm goes west of the Apps, most of the precip will be rain.
