TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I actually think the chances of a more significant storm are elevated with a +PNA...however, we aren't going to have Atlantic blocking, so people shouldn't be expecting a 36 hour monster KU (not that they should ever expect that weeks out).Very true. It would be a quick hitter, but as you stated with the +Pna there is a chance.I think your area has a chance to clean up in a patten like this. At least there is probably going to be chances for most, which in the end is all anyone can ask for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A well time PV acting as a 50/50 low can do the job though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon Tip Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I do not speak for the Euro cluster, but the GFS members' mean lost the +PNA at both agencies, per last nights run for that particular index. Not sure what is going on /why that did that, but 4 or 5 days of +PNA prognostic was just blithely wiped out and what has emerged ...or rather "re"-emerged, is a jump back to the type of teleconnector layout we had spanning much of the last 45 days; which is to say, -PNA/-EPO/+NAO. The AO is still trying to go negative way out in time, but the spread has returned among the members (spread means less skill). What that means for specific events ...not sure. I do not believe, however, that we can count on orderly timing, and in fact ... many of the systems we were tentatively in the planning stages (post this Sunday's ...whatever in the hell it does) are going to have to be in question. Having said that, if the Euro ensembles are less deviated from what has been going on over the last week, perhaps then we can hold off on the GFS cluster, but for now, this is factually what has evolved in the teleconnectors from the American side since yesterday.

Tropopause_Fold Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Dualing low centers..lol. i'd prefer something closer to the euro evolution with the northern stream just remaining dominant and separate and allowing for a nice clipper and reinforcing cold shot.

Typhoon Tip Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 It caved to the EC regarding retrogression. It tries to really cool off the west. The whole cluster though, en masse like that ... so much weight to move all at once like that is a pretty serious indictment on performance pointed at the entire GEFs product suite. that is a butt-sore suck fest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pattern is going to try and reshuffle with the MJO pushing east, but then maybe split flow and STJ. With a +NAO...I would not be shocked if models struggle. This just has that look to me.

Tropopause_Fold Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 when the euro and gfs are worlds apart it's better to side with the euro. this gfs run is the start of the cave i guess i feel the same to some degree - though by the same token any time there's an ULL swirling over the SW or Mexico/Texas or just lots of energy digging down the front-range...any little pocket of vorticity ejecting out into the flow will just cause models to go nuts...so i'm just in wait and see mode.

Typhoon Tip Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Cisco's take is interesting... He's pretty much negating the GEFs camp, but that's also pretty typical of him..

THE 00Z/27 AND 06Z/27 MODEL CYCLES SAW A REVERSAL IN POSITIONS OFTHE GFS CAMP VERSUS THE EUROPEAN CENTRE FROM YESTERDAY, WITH THE GFS WARMING THE EASTERN UNITED STATES BY DAY 6 AND THE ECMWF ANDECENS MEAN COOLING THE SAME REGION. TRIED TO KEEP CONTINUITY WITH THE MANUAL CHOICES FROM YESTERDAY. BESIDES THE NEXT ARCTICONSLAUGHT INTO THE UPPER MIDWEST, GREAT LAKES, AND SAINT LAWRENCE VALLEY, IT APPEARS AS IF THE MID ATLANTIC STATES MAY BE MORE VULNERABLE TO ACCUMULATING SNOW DAYS 6 AND 7. ROUGHLY TWENTY PERCENT OF THE 00Z/27 ECENS MEMBERS INDICATE BETTER THAN A HALF-INCH LIQUID EQUIVALENT FOR THAT REGION. A COUPLE MEMBERS DEPICT A MAJOR SNOWSTORM.

Oh how I remember the mantra from last year, it was said over and over and over until 2013 walked in the door. As we said last year over and over, patience grasshopper.

But the signal is STRONG. We'll be tracking something for next week, where it ends up is anyone's guess at this point. Could be a hit, could be a miss, could be wet, could be white.
