You just posted last nite , you learned your lesson looking at 850 s

It took 1 day , BL temps are in the mid 40`s , whats interesting ???

EDIT 40

First of all, no need for the attitude. Second, I just said it looks a little interesting. 1234ABC also posted about this yesterday. 40s at night? I doubt it.

For winter weather top down p-type forecasting off GFS or NAM, choose 'Emagram'. One of the red taggers gave a little tutorial a couple years ago, and I was able to use this locally in the HOU area to predict an expected 2-5 inches of snow would actually be freezing drizzle (since the saturated layer, although thick, was only slightly colder than 0ºC). It got me some angry comments, we don't usually get much snow in HOU area. Later claims models didn't see warm layer, but both GFS and NAM were close, and did not suggest saturated temps at any level cold enough for crystal formation. Example below:

On Friday night the surface temps will be around 34-35 degrees at NYC. All layers above are forecast to be below freezing. Of course, we may not get any precipitation at all, but if we do, there is a good chance it would be flurries or light snow, even in the city.

After a normal start temp wise this weekend , its a 5- 7 day stretch of above normal ,What i am worried about is i am seeing people forecasting a turn temp wise week 2- and beyond and i am not sure its correct .

The PV is sitting in the Gulf of Alaska ALA last year , it sits and spins like a top pulling the mean trough back away from the east coast every time it retrogrades So where we will see cold pulses , they are goin to be short lived .

I dont think we are goin to see sustained cold here until that PV is displaced .

Strongly disagree. The pattern in the Arctic/Alaskan region couldn't be more different than December 2011. That month featured a raging positive AO; we're about to fall down to -3 standard deviation in AO values.

The key area is Alaska/NW Canada into the Arctic - if higher heights remain there, a good supply of arctic air from Siberia will be transported into North America. What's progged on current modelling is a Gulf of Alaska trough, which indicates a brief -PNA/+EPO surge, but it does not break down the arctic connection from Siberia.

Last year featured no arctic connection into North America as low heights dominated all of AK into the arctic region.

I thnk the main difference this year is once the seasonal jet comes east off the asian continent the water in the pacific is warmer this year as it was last year ,so the POS EPO should break .

I guess when I see a PV spinning its wheels , it makes me lose sleep.

The progged pattern for comparison purposes D 8-10 is nowhere near last year's disaster, arctic vortex from hell.

FWIW - wasn`t comparing this winter set up with lasts , the comment was the PV in the gulf of alaska retrogrades early next week , and pulls the trough back a few times as it just pulses cold air after day 10 - just want to see that PV either split away so the main V is released east so we get some sustainability , just the way i see it .

How do you read these soundings? I always get my soundings from the text ones.

Meanwhile a little winter for us northerners..

BOUNDARY

LAYER ACROSS NYC AND LI SHOULD BE TOO WARM FOR ANYTHING MORE THAN

LIGHT RAIN/DRIZZLE. BUT ACROSS THE INTERIOR LOWER HUDSON VALLEY AND

INTERIOR SOUTHERN CT...SOUNDINGS ARE INDICATIVE OF FREEZING DRIZZLE

FRI NIGHT INTO EARLY SAT MORNING...BUT DEPENDING ON DEPTH OF

SATURATED LAYER THIS MAY BE MIXED WITH OR ENTIRELY LIGHT SNOW.

SHORTFUSE ADVISORIES OR SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENTS MAY BE NEEDED TO

ADDRESS THE FREEZING DRIZZLE THREAT AS DEVELOPMENT BECOME MORE

CLEAR. THE BRUNT OF THE ARCTIC AIRMASS WILL REMAIN NORTH OF THE

REGION...BUT OVERNIGHT LOWS STILL EXPECTED TO FALL SLIGHTLY BELOW

NORMAL...GENERALLY IN THE UPPER 20S INTERIOR...TO LOWER TO MID 30S

COAST.
