January Pattern Discussion

Recommended Posts

JMA agrees....Euro is so out of touch

 

 

It's almost as though 18z GFS and JMA knew you were on the ledge and is talking you off of it ....

 

to maximize our heartache, the storm will have this look until right after the 1/3 rainstorm.  Then it will pull the plug, and Wes will concur.

 

And round and round we go...

Again, ensembles. My copy and paste from LWX...

THE LATEST TREND FOR SOME OF THE OPERATIONAL MODELS

HAS BEEN TO TRACK THE SYSTEM TO THE NORTH AND A LITTLE

QUICKER...WHICH WOULD RESULT IN LESS QPF OVER OUR CWA SINCE THE

STORM WOULD BE FURTHER OUT TO SEA BEFORE IT REALLY GETS GOING. BUT A

FAIR NUMBER OF ENSEMBLES AND THE 00Z UKMET HAVE CYCLOGENESIS

FURTHER SOUTH AND WEST WITH AN EVENTUAL LOW TRACK OFF THE VA CAPES

WHICH WOULD FAVOR HIGHER QPF FOR OUR CWA.

10 days out, and you are buying into that map???? Best bet would be to buy a boat.

Serious arctic boundary and southern moisture feed. I never buy into snowmaps. I will however keep and eye on a boundary like that. Barolclinic zone would be ripe for cyclogenesis. Do I think its a high prob event? No, they never are especially without a true -nao. But I won't blindly discount the solution because I'm pissed we got hosed just days prior.

I have a feeling that this storm will be a lot more amped up and juiced than the GFS is showing. I don't think we're going to stay snow for very long, but the quick clipper solutions just don't seem right in my weenie opinion.   18z GFS was able to wrap in a bit more of the moist plume coming up from the gulf, I think that trend will continue

In general life or in terms of how the weather/patterns are shaping up?  The Ravens' loss rubbed salt on the wound for me (especially when they would have gotten into the playoffs if they had won).  I guess I can rest easy knowing that they wouldn't have gotten far, though.

at least Pittsburg didn't get in either.  Some solace in that, weather related, it will be a cold January for them too.

Ummmm. Is everyone been drinking too much on football Sunday? I know I need a few more before my Cowboys debacle. Anyway, what dates are we honing in on here? 3rd? 6th? I just need to belieeeeeeeeve. I WANT to believe! :)

Best thing to hone in on in these parts is to manage expectations.

 

For example, I expect about 6 inches of snow on the season and I already have three. That's not bad given the fact its only late December. Plenty of time for me to build up enough car toppings to another three inches by Feb 20

Yeah Jeb. I know the deal here no doubt. Been a fan of the different personalities in here for many years now too. I just always ache for my own personal "Jebwalk" each and every winter. Anyway--expectations are definitely low. Pretty much anything we get these days feels like a win--including rain (sad but true).

Yea, people seem to be getting hung up on op runs verbatim at long leads. The front is coming. It's pretty much a lock. Will it rain its eyeballs out before the cold and shut off? Sure is possible. Can the boundary drape and slow while impulses ride it? Just happened in Dec.

Trough axis looks like the boundary will take its time pushing off the coast. This is a good thing. If it blasts through there won't be any time for meaningful precip.

I'm interested in the period but already know the risks and flaws.

It's worthy of meaningful disco and not thoughtless hit and runs.
