BullCityWx Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 I'm don't think we'll get a lot of damaging wind, flooding rains, or snow here, this far south, but is the DGEX physically possible? I mean, could it really happen, if the storm plays out exactly the way that model is showing? I just can't see how, this early in the season. Euro is kinda similar. It does bring snow down to Raleigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Tamland Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 That would be crazy to see some snow on Halloween. I'd rather the kids go trick-or-treating in snow, though, than the monsoon we had here last year on Halloween. That was awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isopycnic Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Euro is kinda similar. It does bring snow down to Raleigh. Euro shows snow from ~12am - 9am on Tuesday morning from Durham NC and to the NW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burgertime Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Something about the trend being our friend going southwest for the liquid and a super phase that pulls the cold air down far enough. If this even looks slightly legit I'm for sure gonna head to Winston and stay with the girlfriend. For now though I'll stick on planning to go to work that Monday.

Next weeks highs are in the low to mid 40s with lows in the 20s. Fine Halloween weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griteater Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Something about the trend being our friend going southwest for the liquid and a super phase that pulls the cold air down far enough. Yeah, trend I see over the last 24 hrs is for the central U.S. trough to dig and close off farther south...colder looking solution for next week regardless of whether there is any precip (strong downslope east of the Apps). You can see the deep anomaly trough here over the eastern U.S. with the strong block to the north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What we wouldn't give to have this look in January for a duration of around 2 weeks and disturbances rolling out of the west. One can dream can't he. Either way pretty amazing given it's only November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormsfury Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Just to add a brief note, I think Cisco at HPC has a pretty decent idea of what's going to happen, with the media if this unusual and rare merger occurs as expected. PRELIMINARY EXTENDED FORECAST DISCUSSION NWS HYDROMETEOROLOGICAL PREDICTION CENTER COLLEGE PARK MD 942 AM EDT THU OCT 25 2012 VALID 12Z MON OCT 29 2012 - 12Z THU NOV 01 2012 ...HIGH IMPACT MERGING OF ENERGETIC SYSTEMS ANTICIPATED OFF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST... PRELIMINARY UPDATE... DESPITE A MODEST CLUSTER OF OUTLYING DETERMINISTIC SOLUTIONS AND ENSEMBLE MEMBERS FROM THE VARIOUS MODELING CENTERS, THE LION'S SHARE OF GUIDANCE INDICATES THAT THE CIRCULATION ASSOCIATED WITH HURRICANE SANDY WILL PASS CLOSE ENOUGH TO THE AMPLIFYING POLAR TROUGH OVER THE EASTERN UNITED STATES TO BECOME INCORPORATED INTO A HYBRID VORTEX OVER THE MID ATLANTIC AND NORTHEAST NEXT TUESDAY. THE HIGH DEGREE OF BLOCKING FROM EASTERN NORTH AMERICA ACROSS THE ENTIRE ATLANTIC BASIN IS EXPECTED TO ALLOW THIS UNUSUAL MERGER TO TAKE PLACE, AND ONCE THE COMBINED GYRE MATERIALIZES, IT SHOULD SETTLE BACK TOWARD THE INTERIOR NORTHEAST THROUGH HALLOWEEN, INVITING PERHAPS A GHOULISH NICKNAME FOR THE CYCLONE ALONG THE LINES OF "FRANKENSTORM", AN ALLUSION TO MARY SHELLEY'S GOTHIC CREATURE OF SYNTHESIZED ELEMENTS. AS IS OFTEN THE CASE, WHEN ONE PART OF THE NATION IS EXPERIENCING A VERY ENERGETIC ATMOSPHERE DISTURBANCE, THE REMAINDER IS RELATIVELY CALM. THIS EVENT SHOULD NOT PROVE THE EXCEPTION, WITH A FAIRLY BENIGN FEED OF PACIFIC AIR INTO MOST OF THE WESTERN AND CENTRAL STATES. THE FAR WEST, PARTICULAR NORTH OF CALIFORNIA, WILL HAVE ENOUGH SUSTAINED ONSHORE FLOW TO KEEP THE PERIOD WET AND UNSETTLED. CISCO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burgertime Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 12z NAM is out to 35 (don't have SV access yet) and it appears to be a little quicker with Sandy...slightly colder with the cold front and a little west of the 6z NAM (though it's hard to tell)...time will tell where it goes from there. Huge boulder of salt of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nchighcountrywx Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Monday Temperatures in Avery County are likely to remain in the 20s all day with a stiff wind. To early to say exactly how much snow will fall.....at least a dusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To early to say exactly how much snow will fall.....at least a dusting. From Ray's Weather (for the northern NC mtns)... "The change after Saturday is nothing short of shocking. Colder air overtakes the region on gusty winds Sunday (a few showers still possible). Monday through Wednesday will be amazingly cold for late October with gusty winds. High temperatures by Tuesday will be 35-40 degrees colder than yesterday. The shock of such a big change and the wind will make it feel even colder. Snow flurries will be possible from Sunday night on" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huge boulder of salt of course. The 12Z NAM has Sandy doing a loop-de-loop (about like the 6Z) over Miami and then shifts it northeast. It's pretty entertaining. However, it does have the s/w over Montana a bit stronger and a touch south by hr 54. That's going to be interesting to watch (and what we should be looking at, as well as the block, instead of Sandy). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NAM at this far out is always crazy with it's solutions. Should be interesting to see the GFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chapelhillwx Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 The snow the DGEX is spitting out is absolutely absurd. That'd be a single-storm record surpassing Jan 2000 in the Triangle and it'd be in OCTOBER. I wonder how close to the event we'd need to be to reasonably expect that happening? I'll totally skip class and drive home if I need to but obviously there's no point in counting on the DGEX five days out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tnweathernut Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 I would seriously consider driving to WV to witness 80+ inches, but.............being without power and trapped for 2-4 weeks doesn't do a lot for me. If the Euro phases just a little sooner, it would probably look a lot like that Dgex clown map imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burgertime Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 12z GFS still isn't phasing quick enough but it looks like it's going quicker than 6z...Sandy appears to be rounding the corner a little faster than 6z.

Its MHX they tend to play it tight, they are infamous around here for writing short AFD like "It might storm some storms might be severe ", while all the other offices will have several paragraphs detailing the threat......they also seem to downplay big events that other offices are jumping all over, then they will hype events that all the other offices downplay. That said when I see the forecast track from NHC I can see why they have those wind maps..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
