March 24-25 Winter Storm Threat

Recommended Posts

The MA sub-forum totally trumped this sub-forum with a "HECS Potential" thread for the "next" wave 25-27 time frame. Good to see they are willing to put their toes back in water the despite their being short changed earlier this month. 

 

So many good synoptic features...

LMAO, Ji started that thread...

It's way too far out there to really model watch, so I'd rather just look at the big picture. The AO will tank to historical proportions, the NAO will keep dropping, the MJO will be favorable, the block looks favorable and there's cold air available.

Unless some of those factors change, I don't see why we couldn't get a big storm and I think as of today we will get a huge storm in the 7-10 day range.

I have them. They are definitely leaning well north and west of the OP. I wouldn't say they are a "big hit" but they are signaling something much closer to the GFS than the OP Euro.

So they have the day 10 threat as well?

On accu pro I  cant post it .  1.5  inches QPF  850`s minus 5 ..  At the very least it`s  a nice screen saver

 

That was yesterday's run.  Today's run has a 976mb low over Vermont and New Hampshire at 192 hrs that it apparently bombed out in the previous frame somewhere near the NJ Coast if I had to guess.  It shows surface temps in the mid 30's but 850's below 0.  Precip is over 1 inch throughout the area and so much for suppression on the JMA.

They do not have the day 10 storm. They are very focused on the day 7 storm, just as the GFS is.

I don't see this coming as far west as the gfs shows, and other models disagree with it as well.

 

I think it's more of a north issue than a west issue, but that's just my opinion. This shortwave is very energetic once it comes into the CONUS from the Pac NW post 84 hours. The issue, I think, is going to be the positioning and strength of the confluent flow to the north...owing to the strength of the blocking and elongation of the upper level low. The GFS is farther north with that feature and less suppressive than the 12z run...but also has a powerhouse upper level low over the Central US.

 

In the end though, I think its that feature near New England that will be the game changer and I think we'll eventually be looking at a sharp cutoff on the northern end of the precipitation shield..whether it be over the Mid Atlantic or nearer to us. These types of high latitude blocking episodes are notorious for producing those.
