1/15-1/16 Coastal Storm


Zelocita Weather

Recommended Posts

Will all come down to rates , if you can drop .75 in 6 - 9  hours on a NE wind  you will cool the column .

 If the QPF is on the lighter side then its hard to do

No worries IMO - of course there might be some mix at the very beginning BUT the pattern , Indicies, track of the low - water temps all are favorable and point to this being a mainly snow event - question now is how intense this will become especially since the NAO is slightly negative and AO is forecasted to be as negative as it has been in quite some time and the high pressure in a very favorable position and the GFS bringing this back again after its usual losing it habit for a couple of runs is also encouraging

It's been said before but a nice block would have led to this blowing up significantly, possibly explosively as the flow would have rapidly slowed down and another system behind it could have caught up with this. 

there is going to be some blocking going on the NAO is negative now and going to stay that way through the event ALSO this is the first storm where all the indicies are in a favorable position so with that said still has to be determined how much this can intensify  in time which will determine how much we get

I feel like this event could be our big one of the year...8-12". We'll see

I think that is possible - I don't know why other folks here are worrying about lack of blocking -most of  the other events had less blocking then this one with a neg PNA this one has some blocking - positive PNA - a forecasted -3 AO and the EPO I am not sure what the forecast for that is....water temps of little concern and the colder air is going to be arriving with the storm with a high in southeast Canada

The bigger threat may be during the  MLK weekend . I know its not any of the operational runs ,  but the Ensembles the last few days

at 500 MB look ripe on the EC .  If there is a bigger storm lurking I think its over the weekend .

I dont know. I'm seeing shades of Jan. 08 where there's just not enough cold air to work with and we end up with rain or wet unaccumulating snow.

I didn't even see a flake with that storm. What a terrible bust that was. I was under a Heavy Snow Warning for 6-12 inches. :axe:

But some snow goggler said the big one Is coming? He must be watching too much Sanford and sons

The big one is coming. With the persistent reloading of the -EPO now showing up on all models along with signs of blocking, it's only a matter of time. And since it's only mid Jan we have plenty of time heading into our snowiest month.

A couple more days to track this storm. :)

I think ths one mayb hard to pull off. Don't like being in the GFS sites 4 days out. I think ths one may b more aimed at the interior. But after this the cold air comes and I'm betting on the back end of that trough as the pattern reloads and it pulls out there's likely to be something bigger trailing it around MLK
