Moving past first week of January General Discussion/banter


Baroclinic Zone

Recommended Posts

In my view, it really won't matter for the East Coast because the two forces (western PAC convection and PV placement) will force a squeeze play. I suppose it will ultimately matter when we start getting into storm track details and things like that but ultimately it will mean the same thing for us, especially in the Mid Atlantic. New England would probably want to root for an eastward push in the convection to push the ridge further east.

We saw this last month where models were overphasing s/w, only to end up weaker and further east. However, I don't think the flow will be as progressive and may trend slower as we move deeper into January.

 

Well that is just wonderful lol. I was favoring the Euro progression and wintry weather favoring the Central U.S. anyway, but I must wonder what in god's name do we have to do to get a snow threat in the mid--atlantic lol? if tis not an MJO into phase 7-8 and +PNA help, then what will do it?

just brutal how long these patterns have been locking in over the past couple years.  I never remember posters andmets being so confident in 2-3 weeks of warm and dry weather before.  Sure there were warm spells that lasted 3-4 days on the five day fore case but it just seems as if patterns are locking on longer and longer.  I mean this dry and above normal weather is now looking like it is going to last until the 18-19...we just lost almost three weeks of the core of winter with nothing but sunny skies and above normal temps...brutal...just brutal.  Will be two years since had anything more than 5-6 days of a combination of cold and stormy occur during winter.  damn

It won't be dry, now the euro gives a nice May look to the forecast with rain and cold east winds Friday night.

Most of SNE is above normal snowfall YTD and last week was below normal. So we have 1 week of above this week and then arctic front comes thru Monday and back to winter.lay bong down

Well, I will look more into things later today and get back to you but I think we do orbit around phase 8-1-2 after the looping is over. Even if it is less amplified, I do think a legitimate pulse goes through there and affects the pattern. The orbiting phase 6-7 convection and Mid Latitude pattern will ultimately force the convection east and then that will begin to feedback on the pattern as it relaxes from its amplified state.

A classic +PNA / -NAO pattern would then be able to setup, esp. if the vortex breaks down entirely.

Cyclone, the interior just had a good December. What are you looking for?

 

average temps perhaps, the 128-495 corridor had well above normal temps and a below ave december WRT snowfall IMO in most of mass. .  not much below but a general 5-8 inch december snowfall and 4 cutters... throw in a punt for the 1'st half of january and there leaves a lot to be desired outside of ORH SW to NW RI and CT where they are doing sign. better.

Does the MJO get into phases 7 and 8, though?

 

The EC and GEFS still kill it on the 6/7 interface.

 

Not 8 on the current data. The GEFS are most aggressive into 7 before they kill it...Keep in mind though last week the models were killing it at 5-6..now tis 6-7...I'm not sure if it will make it into 8-1 or not, but I do believe the models have a bias of killing waves/slowing them down towards the circle at the end of their outlooks.

Well people like Jerry are closer to normal, and then a good chunk of MA away from coastal areas and NE MA did well in December. Warm, yes...but good in the snow dept. Include RI and CT too. Those small screw zones are not easy to predict. The pattern was not good for cstl snow, but it was moist.

BLIZ someone should make a SNE map and draw in the contours WRT winter snowfall this season. Just to see it represented in a graphic i think would lay out the picture of the have's and have not's.  The have nots have a case to make that this has been a shiat winter. i would guess essex county mass over to the merrimack valley and down thru Bos thru E briston and plymouth counties are biting the big one. then i think you see a nice gradient develop over RI and interior central mass back down thru SE cT and to the West of that line you see those who have done well.  basically i'd like to see a graphical of current snowfall so we can all take a looksie

Over 90% of SnE is above normal in snowfall YTD

Euro has the big torch day on Sunday...Saturday looks like a low mixing day with the leftover CAD from Friday. Sunday would be record high temps in jeopardy.

What is the record for ORH for Sunday? Is that the day with the weird low record high (like 51 or so?)

 

Can we agree to call this a January thaw finally...lol

 

33.3F for the high back home... won't see that again for a while
