2nd Half of August WX Discussion

Recommended Posts

We've been getting cool shots - imho - for a month now.  It's just that relative to time of the year and seasonal compensation, they have been occasionally muted to some degree.

 

That said, I strongly believe this is simply another of those, but, with constructive wave interference between the Euro bias and any trough that happens to be migrating through at that time.  The result of those teaming factors creates this low probability insult. 

 

I mentioned this back in the spring, and this solution underscores:    This is bad bad omen for extended model lead performance during the cold season.  At this, about ever third cycle will likely have a stem-wound phantom up along NE coast from late October through March.

 

Well I meant the first real deep shot with the 540 tickling the nrn tier of the US.

Yeah, this solution is:

((a probable trough translation)+(piece of sh!t model for having a raging, and embarrassing amplitude bias in the D6-10 range))/2 = ....oh man -- are we going to have deal with this bullsh!t during the entire cold season, too!?

lol I thought about what you have been harping for a while...the endless supply of phantom troughs digging for oil on the ECM out past day 7.

The trough idea may be valid, but probably not dragging sub-freezing air at 4,500ft down to ORH like that product implies.

The Euro trough ideas have generally been correct since late July...just don't take the magnitude at face value when its 200 hours out. We would never take it seriously in winter, so why now during a season when model verifcation is actually worse?

Part of me wants to go with my gut for BOS as I sit on the hot seat right now, but then again I see some + aspects for rain, too

 

Also, tomorrow has a chance to be crappy in ern areas.

yeah. the meso/regional models really tighten the vortmax right over SNE and just dump on us as much of the resulting environment is more favorable for heavy rain. some of the srefs are ridiculous.

 

the globals just shunt the LLJ SE through NY/PA and really would probably equate to a good chunk of SNE just being dry.

There is def support for that idea, but the magnitude and timing still have to be worked out. I wish Allan still had his ensembles up because now we are left with Kevin posting random day 10 op progs and then saying how it's so wrong. I mean a day 10 prog is always correct on the GFS. :lol:

thankfully, you've been here to remind us of this *every day* when discussing the euro...so we shouldn't forget.

Exactly -- it's not so much timing that's the problem; it's almost been entirely a magnitude issue, and one that's been on the deep/cold side.   

 

Are the ensembles out yet -- I'd be surprised if the mean was like this ... I bet this is big time outlier.

Well ... I'll tell yeah -- I'm for a cooler than normal autumn this go, and an active winter, quite possibly front loaded, thaw, than a meridional ... more +PNA type latter Feb and March.  

 

In order to get the first part of that verified, at some point we will have to break colder in appeal on the model runs ... and go on in to having that happen.  I just don't know or have any confidence that this is that time.  It's a bit too exotically early -- but obviously we all agree that the oper. Euro is likely on crack with that.

Yeah my original post earlier today was just to talk about the idea since it's so darn boring. It just looks like there are teleconnections that support some sort of cool shot coming into the nrn tier of the US around that time..and maybe into the second week of September. I mean I'm not saying extreme cold...just perhaps the first notable shot of the season. We'll see..the euro ensembles weren't too robust at popping a western ridge on the 00z runs. 12z runs coming out now.

Yeah and that's getting more towards climo first frosts for the usual suspects with troughs in early/mid September. I think the trough idea holds merit, it's been the pattern since the July switch, and see no reason to really deviate from that theme of a ridge in the Midwest and some bagginess over the Northeast.

Look at ALB rad loop ... hard to imagine how most of the region would miss getting wet tonight.  may be strata rains in this apparently convectively cursed 2013 summer, but rain. 

 

I could see BOS not getting much at all. The whole thing is sinking south too. Literally you'll go from nothing to heavy rain in 15 miles possibly. Tough call.
