Bob Chill Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Euro has had the widest swings. It went from a se coastal, to a weak overhead, and now a cutoff phase. GFS has been more consistent irt sw track and slp track. Sweet run to look at but it's really on an island with that solution. Pretty jacked up h5 config in front that is far from being resolved. I've seen many more nw-se or w-e solutions than sw-ne tracks. The euro has been the only one to show any type of classic amplification and it's been 2 runs so far (0z tues and 0z wed) Yesterday @ 12z was very similar to the gfs solution. Talking about mixing, bl temps, precip totals, and all that is wasted analysis at this point. Deducing the most likely vort and/or ull track and strength would be best.

North Balti Zen Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Just discussing what the model itself showed. Considering that this is 8 days out I would think you would understand this is nothing more then speculation and learning how to read and decipher what the model itself shows. Do I need to put a disclaimer on everything I post even for the most obvious things? Let me know if that would satisfy you. maybe you can also get someone from Mt. Tolland to come down and point out the blindingly obvious point that Dc to Balt might have some boundary issues on a modeled storm the second week of March ...

I apologize to everyone on here that was offended for my trying to learn by discussing on a weather board what a model run might imply. A model run for 8 days out no less that the likelihood of it verifying is slim at best. God forbid anyone pee on their fantasy snowstorm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scraff Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Lets all stop with this superstitious nonsense. And besides, the storm won't even be there in that form on the next run. I was just playing around. I'm far from superstitious. Weather will do whatever the hell it wants....and hit Boston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't mind them...seems like a build up of snow drought frustration along with what may be another fantasy whiff in the long range. You seem to have carved an odd niche in specializing on 6z run commentary, which is more disconcerting in general than your last few comments today.

You seem to have carved an odd niche in specializing on 6z run commentary, which is more disconcerting in general than your last few comments today. Not that I am a big fan of the off runs but with my schedule the 06Z runs are about the only time I have to really spend some time looking over the models. Would prefer to spend more time on the major runs but most days I am lucky to even get a glance at them as they are coming out and not 6 hours later.

Bob Chill Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 We're doing it again... Nah, only thing were doing is saying there is consensus for some sort of storm next week. It might track nw, overhead, suppress south, amplify, or shear out. It might snow, rain, or do nothing. Pretty solid analysis and I didn't use a laser.

WxUSAF Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Short-range note: GFS still down with 2 rounds of flurries. First overnight tonight and then 2nd tomorrow late afternoon/evening.

WinterWxLuvr Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 That's a potent looking storm on the maps I can access. I'm guessing a storm that strong would produce some pretty high precip totals somewhere. Whatever the final result is, maybe we get lucky and the first couple weeks of March produce some fun here, and then we can all move into spring with a better disposition.

Bob Chill Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 GFS remains consistent. I would be shocked if the euro shows another amped up monster. GFS really likes the idea of flatter flow and not enough amplification in front to let the vort dig and turn the corner. However, a more amplified solution is far from off the table. It's nice to see the vort and slp going below us and not passing overhead or to our nw. That's a great sign. What isn't so great is squashed flow leading in. Only half a million runs to go.

Bob Chill Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 That confluence on the GFS is a mofo I suppose it's totally plausible but it's weird seeing a lp track in a straight line from Seatlle to Savannah, GA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may very well be, but it would be totally consistent with our seeming lack of ability to get any measureable precip with cold air around. This is, as you say, a very long way out there.

psuhoffman Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 That confluence on the GFS is a mofo Difference between last nights EUro, and the GFS and every other run of the euro for that matter, is how they handle the H5 low over the lakes. Most of the guidance keeps the low diving into the trough seperate and suppresses it under the flow of the lakes low. The Euro phases and merges the two and thus we get a monster. Obviously given this years trends we know what is more likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterWxLuvr Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Great pattern on the GFS Day 11+ If only it could have come 1 month ago Certainly looks quite cold. Then we have a chance. I've seen several reference on this board to "monster" storm chances, references to past storms like the Superstorm. Now the Euro spits out what would be a monster. You feel like a biggie is at least within the realm? Even without the snow, I'm hoping for a cool spring. I'm just in no hurry to get to temps over 80. In fact, if we never get to 80 again, I'll be fine with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You feel like a biggie is at least within the realm? Sure, a biggie is in the realm. Remember the D+11 analogs for this weekend time frame had a number of KU storms on the list. For this Mar 6-7 threat, I think the most reasonable scenario that gives us snow is that the storm passes to our south and we get a general 1-3" event. Northern stream has won every time this year, hard to imagine that this time it will slow down enough for a Euro-like event to happen. I think 2 of the 6z GEFS members had a big storm solution. Euro ensemble mean certainly didn't support the Op. So, still a long shot in this case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NS only sw's have a terrible history of turning into something big. I'm realistically rooting for a tight ball with nice compact comma hitting us and secretly rooting for the euro to score a coup. I think it's pretty cool that the -nao/blocking regime verified. GFS hinted at it for quite some time. It's looking to be pretty dominant and that will be tough to break down. Could take the first 3 weeks of March to hit an extended aoa normal temp regime. Who knows about snow. Never in a million years would I have though going into this season that we couldn't squeak out a measly 2 damn inches @ dca to get out of the funk. But here we are.

If the GFS is in the ballpark on temps from Days 8-15, we're not just below normal, but WELL below normal. Solid -5 to -10F range for the first 2 weeks of the month. As for 2"...I haven't had a 1.5" snowfall in over 2 years IMBY. I figured this year would be below normal, but didn't think we'd get skunked so horribly.
