Ian Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Crap, the EURO has the PV coming down into the Lakes Day 6 with -24c h85 temps over the Ohio river. Here comes the PV hype again... We're already calling today's cold in Florida as PV related. Nahnahnah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HM Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 IMO- the run is kind of a disaster of sorts. We don't need a massive -ao and pv intruding. Kills the ss chances. This run shows that pretty well. It's a squasher on many levels. This run only goes to Jan 27 12z. I'm not sure how you can say this pattern leading up to the end of the month potential is anything other than good. I guess my only complaint would be to see more of a "Pacific break-through" of moisture by the end of the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Lowest Jan 17th US snowcover % in the last 10 years, so at least we aren't alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how you can say this pattern leading up to the end of the month potential is anything other than good. I guess my only complaint would be to see more of a "Pacific break-through" of moisture by the end of the month. Only calling it a bit of a disaster verbatim. Yesterday we talked about having the pv in se canada with pac energy diving over the pna and backside of the gyre. It was a snow look. Now we have a massive medicine ball cold dome getting pushed hard core into the US. So the snowy look is gone until it relaxes sometime in d10-15. You'll never hear me complain about an -ao/nao like the one shown because if it really happens it will be tough to get rid of for a while. But it's still a disappointing run. And it will change many times over the next week. I'm hugging the gfs/gefs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ltrain Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Ok. Now its time for certain people to get all upset about the Euro run 7 days out. Its 1 run, just 1. Plus the Euro has been caving to the GFS this winter. It caved to the GFS for the 22nd threat. I'll hug the GEFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share Posted January 17, 2014 the JMA and GGEM are pretty much qpfless for us in their respective runs. Thats pretty alarming Euro ens mean is in agreement through 15 days. If I hadn't recently experienced getting missed in all directions multiple times I would laugh at the panel. Now I cry. Control looks like the exact opposite of 0z so we have that going for us too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are due for a nice dry stretch. Insanely cold, and dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtracker Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 GFS at 162 still has those western vorts I'm interested in. Let's see what happens... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psuhoffman Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 GFS at 162 still has those western vorts I'm interested in. Let's see what happens...The way this pattern is likely to evolve with the trough axis retro grading its likely eventually the region gets a snow just a shame that it may happen towards the end of the cold and thus waste the cold and when it finally snows the thaw follows and it's gone.

psuhoffman Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 GFS at 162 still has those western vorts I'm interested in. Let's see what happens... I think that first system to come out of the west at day 8 is our first chance, but I really like the second and third waves. I think the trough is likely to shift west and flatten out more as this evolves and that will give each wave greater and greater chance to tap the gulf for some moisture and amplify. Of course eventually without a -NAO we are also running the risk of something cutting but with all the cold around I will take my chances. I also think as we get into Feb there is a chance we get a more favorable NAO. I made a post with my thoughts on my facebook blog...yes shameless promotion. https://www.facebook.com/hoffmansmidatlanticwinterweatherpage GF thinks if I am going to waste so much time following weather I may as well do something productive with it. I would love to get more people to comment and contribute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's become pretty clear that until the pna retrogrades some we are stuck with dry little vorts. None have a chance to amplify and none can get the gulf or pac moisture involved. It is what it is though. OTOH- euro ensemble members a lot more enthused for d6-10 than the op or previous ens run. It's a marked improvement. DCA mean is back up to 2" but plenty of members show modest hits...and a couple solid 6"+ hits...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted January 18, 2014 Author Share Posted January 18, 2014 18z gefs look pretty good for fri-sat next week. Enough members get ss moisture phased with the ns vort to keep it interesting.

Those analogs keep showing up, and they are fine, but 1995 was thread the needle and a lucky quick event....The 2 end of January 1961 storms were nice of course, but the 1st could easily have busted I want to see the PV to our NE, for DC metro to have a good chance to get anything more than a 2-4/3-5" event...euro ens have that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted January 18, 2014 Author Share Posted January 18, 2014 One of these vorts is going to pop for us in the next 5-6 days. I'm kinda feelin it. The vort moving through right now got fat up to game time. Yes, it's a further n event but still. Gfs is now dropping some cookie crumbs. We might be short changing ourselves by focusing on late next week for a satisfying event. I'm gaining a little confidence for the next 5 days or so.
