MAG5035 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Well I suppose I'll acknowledge the longer range with current storm fail nearly complete. Models seem to be agreeing on a pretty decent amplification at the end of the week (D 5-7) with various opinions on the storm system that results. 12-18z GFS/CMC more northern stream developing a lakes low into a pretty deep storm in eastern Canada. Basically some rain, drop a front thru and perhaps a pretty decent LES/orographic regime behind for the mountains. The European, in it's infinite mid range wisdom, phased southern energy and dropped a bomb on the east. running the southern apps before passing over philly at 984mb enroute to 968 in Maine. Such a dynamic storm would likely equate to a rain to snow storm for at least the west. You know the drill, i'd watch the period for some kind of storm but don't expect any kind of a consensus for awhile. Long range continues to look active and stormy in the models, but I don't expect things temp wise to get overly colder than average.. despite the MJO forecast to either reside mainly in 2 or move thru 2 to 3. Those are generally the colder phases but with the NAO/AO forecast to stay pretty positve (AO ramping up even more) and the PNA heading to negative it certainly won't help matters. Positive AO locks the arctic air back up over the poles and that coupled with the utter lack of a snowpack over the north central doesn't bode well for getting overly cold airmasses to us... and the cold air that does get to us ends up modified because of aforementioned lack of snow. I suspect if we manage to eventually get a storm in position to snow on us it's going to be a deal like today where it was quite a nice day up here north of the storm but down in VA it was colder under the clouds and snow. Then after the storm temps quickly modify to normal or somewhat above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAG5035 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Looks like southwest VA was able to manage a pretty decent snowstorm. I still can't help but find it somewhat ironic that the model forecasts bailed the storm south of DC upon wsptwx's arrival down there yesterday.

EasternUSWX Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Tips for using the euro. If shown a huge east coast storm. Ignore it is trolling. If shown lakes cutter pay attention. If only model showing low going south of area, good chance it is right and other models will follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of this: http://www.theonion.com/articles/war-on-string-may-be-unwinnable-says-cat-general,9636/ I take it all in stride.....I've seen enough end games where everyone was hugging and declaring winter dead, only to have the Old Man do a Jason and pop up in the background. Up here that usually takes the form of 1) warm spell causes everyone to declare spring is here 2) give me a funny look when I say it can still snow and tell me they never remember it snowing much late in March/April 3) when its snowing in early April, whine that central PA never ever gets a decent spring and it always snows in April.

WmsptWx Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Oh I'm not going all wpsxpxvt or whatever his screen name is and declaring winter over, pissing on its grave and bangin' it's mama, I'm just saying that if we get a couple more 60+ degree days where I can walk through the city without feeling a need to bundle up or even wear pants, I'm going to want that to continue. Then I'm going to want severe weather. I'm pretty sure we're going to get one solid shot... and if a 93 redux occurs I'm all-in, but I think realism is going on here.

MAG5035 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Wow what a bomb on the Euro this afternoon..takes a western Kentucky to PA/OH border to Buf track enroute to deepening to 960 mb in Quebec. Close proximity to the SE of the track of the low would likely knock down rain totals in central/western PA, so theres that. Also would be one heck of a windstorm behind it, probably at least an areawise wind advisory with 10m winds even showing some 50-55kt gusts in places. GFS and Euro seem to be in reasonable agreement given the range on this potential storm. Theres just something about a big GLC that magically make the models show some actual mid range forecasting skill. Now yesterdays 12z Euro had this rapidly deepening storm going over Philly, which would bring the possibility of seeing some kind of rain to snow scenario in the central/west. I suppose getting a more progessive and less phased solution to take the low more southeast can be in the realm of possibility, but i'm not liking the 500 western ridge alignment anchored all the way off the west coast.
