NEG NAO Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Here is the 18Z Dec 30th GFS - how accurate was it for this week starting today ? Not even close -so with that said can't trust the GFS past day 5 IMO http://www.tropicaltidbits.com/analysis/models/gfs/2013123018/gfs_mslp_pcpn_frzn_us.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJO812 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Euro was really interesting with the middle of the week storm. It just brushes the coast with snow. If it was a little more further west, this would have been something nice for the coast. Plenty of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

earthlight Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Very little room for amplification with this kicker bearing down on the mid level flow. http://www.meteo.psu.edu/~fxg1/AVN_6z/f144.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jm1220 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Very fast flow coming up with a bunch of disturbances as the EPO is finally going positive for a while. epo.png We will probably go back to the pattern we had for much of December, with transient cold and warm shots and either weak systems or cutters that change us to rain or mix. The pattern is just too progressive to allow for anything to amplify in a good place for us without the NAO in our favor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like we transition back to a clipper pattern after the series of storms over the next week as the PNA rises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PB GFI Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 I see the fast flow argument , but im thinking a handoff is starting on the Atlantic side . As the PNA goes positive and the NAO is heading NEG, this should argue for more troughiness along the East coast starting next week. I think the above system has a chance not to escape . Looking at the mid week system I think when its at Hatteras this precip shield is bigger and could be closer to the coast . 1 Edit here , I just looked at the Control and it doesn't agree with me in regards to a miss , So either way not a big system here , but a bigger precip shield if the OP is right . Still like neg NAO idea . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the mid week system I think when its at Hatteras this precip shield is bigger and could be closer to the coast . If the kicker is modeled too fast, then the storm could get closer. But I am not putting much stock in the model runs beyond a few days since they are struggling with the fast flow. Notice how even the Euro is coming up with different solutions from run to run.

The day 5 storm has been shifting around with the details, so anything beyond that is a really low skill forecast at this point. These storms are coming through with very little spacing between them.

CIK62 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 The CFS weeklies, as shown on StormVista for the next 5 weeks, look hot enough to toast marshmellows around here. Maybe near normal around 1/28-2/03 that's it. Comments? Reliable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJO812 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 GFS is much further west on this run compared to the 6z run with the storm towards the end of the week. Low goes on top of NYC. 850's are cold but the surface isn't. A lot of time for this to trend better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJO812 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 12z GGEM for late week storm Redevelops a little late for NYC. Hits eastern SNE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsentropicLift Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Super excited about the very active pattern the next week or so. The snow this morning was a nice touch but I hold events like tomorrow closest to my heart. It's too bad that we remain in such a progressive pattern. We're never going to get anything major unless that changes. The 12z GFS op has virtually zero support from it's ensembles and we'll likely end up with a completely different solution run to run.

SnoSki14 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Trough looks negative and the pattern is really amped up thanks to western ridging. I'm really liking the Day 5 threat though i could see a rain to snow storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You point out earlier the Canadian is on board. As is the Korean. Only the GFS breaks the ridge down. So I like below normal if you average out the next 21 days once passed the 15 th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
