Feb 8th-9th Do We Finally Get A Coastal?

It's slowly, inexorably going towards the other models.  I thought it was further along at 72, but it still does it's thing.

 

This is I think the 3rd epic event it's had at about this range.  Blizzard conditions in parts of New England.  LOL.

 

Hey I hope it's right for sure, but I think it's terribly wrong and has been stepping east each run.

 

 

Yeah, the run its self is fun - I think that's all we're really doing.  We haven't collectively had much to celebrate as of late.

 

Let it roll and see where the dice end up on this one, agreed?   

 

That said, the question as to whether the flow evolves in time is obviously on the table and no one is denying that much - not saying your are.  But to that ends ... if the Euro collapses toward the GFS progressivity bias in the end, ...yeah, sure, fine.  It's possible.

Sat 0z

 

0z Euro position roughly 40N 74W

12z Euro position roughly 40N 69.5W

 

As forky notes the tendencies it's had are probably the root cause.  I don't think any of us expect this scenario to play out so it's all preaching to the choir, but I bet it continues east.

 

Chances are the other models come NW though, so we'll be left tracking another one of these squeakers.  One of these days we'll get lucky, maybe it's this one.

Northern stream s/w did not dig the trough as far SE this run which allows the storm to form a little east of 0z before the phase

we may very well see that continue to a point where they don't merge. certainly within the realm of possibilities. 

 

it could totally be a nothing event, but at least there's a new ingredient in the mix this time (of course, if it fails, who cares). it's not the same old/same old.

Those two maps you posted earlier kind of tell the tale some that at least its not as hostile to the s/w's coming out of the northern stream, My question would be which model or models is better at handling systems when patterns are changing?

It could work out for you down there. Or if could be Halifax getting the +SN after a couple more runs. It's done here I'd say.

is the orientation of that high pretty crappy initially for EMA? 96(hr)   0ne hand almost looks like banana high but the orientation on the east side doesn't seem terribly favorable, on euro

it's kind of a neat set-up they way the euro and ukmet are doing this. the HP is great - first time we've had that in a long while.

 

but the northern stream energy is pretty strong so there is initially solid return flow out ahead of the incoming surface feature from the lakes. my guess is - speculation just looking at those progs - is that that HP would be feeding down lots of low level cold...so a place like ORH would hold near like 20F or something with NNE winds, but someplace right along the coast there would be a nasty CF with ~40F air to it's east initially - with SE flow ...then once the coastal took over and bombed it would all congeal and collapse. 

 

i would take this over a crappy northern stream POS low going over Dryslot's head.

Yeah the Euro/Ukie scenario is light years more interesting than the northern stream by itself solution....unfortunately the latter is probably the most likely.

 

That high really is nice. Some fairly fresh polar air with low dews would likely fuel the thermal gradient in this storm too should we infuse it with southern stream juice.

Sounds to me like the east trend continues.

 

 

Well I'm near Albany ....that's what I meant.  It sounds like this run takes us out of it even more. Maybe we can manage a few inches.

 

East trends are not our friends, Rick.  Still some time, but going the wrong way.

 

Meanwhile, I'm now rerouted to Dallas.  Will be 14 hours from my take-off at BDL to my landing at CID tonight.  All I can think of is John Candy saying "those aren't pillows" on this trip.  Alas.

 

21.0/9

I once flew out of Love Field in Dallas on Southwest....

 

The ECM actually has us solidly in excess of .5" qpf despite the obvious heavier stuff further east where the low bombs. Not sure what that's about..maybe some kind of spurious inverted trough. But I'd take it.

What are the caution flags with this one?

Lack of blocking?  Phasing either being to late or not happening? 

 

It's 2012-2013???

Really?  The trend certainly isn't good, but .5 is as good as we've gotten in a long time.

Hard to see .5 with that setup.  Maybe in the Dacks.  There would likely be, and the Euro suggests, a relative min between the seaward coastal and the northern stream frontal system.

 at least were cold. heck ill take 1 inch snows every 3 days over mild rainers. nothing is worse in the winter than a parade of mild rainers, nothing.  dry and cold isn't great or really that good, but when it snows an inch every 3 days or so, ill take it over mild and rain or cold and abs. nada falling from the sky which we have seen, and this is a tiny bit better (it seems)
