psuhoffman Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Our best chance would be as the NAO breaks down. If we do get a +PNA at the same time we still have the -NAO, chances are the way that breaks down is with a major amplified system on the east coast. Usually the last wave is the one that deepends the furthest south. NOT always but often times that gives us the best chance. Of course we are quickly running out of time also, so this is a double edged sword. We are running out of "nexts" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 we have till Mar 10 to get a storm. Otherwise, euro runs start at 1:45 am instead of 12:45am No kidding. Feb sun angle has nothing on the extra hour of sun post DST. I'm still waiting to see what happens with PDIII. The setup is supposed to be more explosive than early Fed 2010.

psuhoffman Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 euro also has a powerful low at 240 in the desert S/w. Maybe that is our storm in the 28th storm is just an appetizer Did you look at the H5 on the euro? It ends up with its solution by doing a pinwheel with the H5 low from the day 5 cutter up over the lakes. I have seen that on models hundreds of times but rarely does it happen in reality. ALso, the H5 cuts off and tracks from TN over central NC then exits off Norfolk VA. That is not a bad track, actually about perfect for us. THe problem is the initial surface low has developed so far west it cuts, as it would, but that H5 track would suggest to me there should be a secondary development way before the Euro surface indicates. Either way that H5 suggests to me there is major potential, without much adjustment. I also want to see the ensembles when they update. Last night the Euro ensembles had a much more GFS like solution. There is no way the models are going to show a major storm for us for every run for the next 7 days. I still think this looks like a good setup. At this range that just means we have a small chance at a major storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 euro control oooh. not 1..not 2...3 coastals? 192, 240, and 324. It's like Feb 2010 only bigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psuhoffman Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 euro also has a powerful low at 240 in the desert S/w. Maybe that is our storm in the 28th storm is just an appetizer That storm that would follow the March 1 event could have potential but it is so dependent upon all the events before it. You are right the day 10 Euro looks like it might have something brewing but that is so far out, and is so unlikely to actually look that way in 10 days, its not worth getting into it. But I do think we have a couple chances in early March before the NAO breaks down, the last one probably being our best. Given its March they are still low probability, its just a shame we did not get this PNA/NAO configuration to line up during January or February.

Heisy Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 what are you looking at. At 168...the ULL that would create the storm is still near Cali Ji the low near the Lakes is way farther east on the GFS, that sets up the intial confluence zone. We would need that much farther East. The wave that creates the storm is in the southwest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heisy Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Note the differences in location of the ULL near the Lakes. If that doesn't get far enough east not enough cold air comes down. The GFS eventually shows a huge snowstorm because that ULL gets far enough east. Common ji, thought you'd be able to realize this.... The March 2001 storm did a wiggle with an ULL over SE Canada and shortwave in the south. GFS/EURO do similar things just and way different locations. EURO = raging rainstorm GFS= blizzard setup. It all comes down to how far east that ULL gets... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 didn't see it mentioned yet. Euro has an area of vorticity passing underneath us on Sunday with a couple patches of measurable precip over and south of DC. 850's cold enough so I assume snow with tyipcal bl issues. There seems to be some interaction with the low spinning over the great lakes and maybe the front off the coast. I can't really tell. Maps hurt my eyes. Probably nothing but I'll never discount a vort passing south through NC and off the coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 good news is the euro mean doesn't have that giant rainstorm.. instead some low that goes right over us but 850s are cold. bad news is there's like no precip over the US for a week after that. maybe there's a bug. it's literally wall to wall nothing thru 360.

WinterWxLuvr Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Friday is looking more and more like we will have the temps, at least a good portion of the morning, but can we get any precip. That song and dance is getting old quick. The latest SREFS are fairly moist looking, but the mean is the result of several really wet members and some bone dry ones. Early morning snows are nice. I've given up on a snow storm or snow cover. I'd be more than happy with a landscaper whitener in the daylight hours. Morning is better for that anyway.

WinterWxLuvr Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 just predict a trace to 1" for every 'snow event' and you'll be the best forecaster ever I think that's pretty spot on, except you need to predict no snow on all forecasts beyond 5 days. You will be dead on about 98% of the time, if not more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterWxLuvr Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 NAM has a nice CAD sig too....at 84 hours. Yes it is the NAM, but it does have around 0.1 precip for the 24 ending at 84 and ground temps at no point above 32 for the time period. Someone also said the Euro put out a bit of precip Friday. I don't know, but I guess you never know. First we had the precip and the temps, then it started removing the temps, then the precip, now the temps are back more in line with the early versions of the storm, maybe the precip slowly returns? Yeah, I actually typed that with a straight face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterWxLuvr Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Just noticed the NWS forecasts now bring precip potential Thurs night (before there were none) and now have Friday as snow/rain with high of 33 (before was snow to rain and high of 40).
