Bob Chill Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Euro ens sure looks sweet in the d10-15 range. We had a big epo ridge last year but no blocking. Looks like we might have both. If that kind of pattern verifies, I can only imagine that the majority of precip chances would be frozen and imo it's a pretty nice long lead look at a big storm pattern for the east in general. Not MA specific. Up and down the coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Weeklies have a solid -nao signal during the first week of Jan. Aleutian low builds during that week as well and holds through the end of the run. Nice ridging in western canada weeks 3-4. Overall looks like a wintry pattern for the first half of Jan. Not a frigid pattern but definitely a nice look for winter weather in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coastal and Wes (and others) do a great job explaining the playing field, incorporating maps which are always helpful to the reader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhineasC Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I mentioned this earlier, the X-mas event looks like a big time cold front that ushers in the new winter pattern. You can tell the EURO 240 hours is about to tank the AO, pattern should be amazing come the 27th on.....I'm extremely pumped up right now.You really do seem to enjoy chasing "patterns" more than snowstorms. Whatever floats your boat, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Probably wouldn't have to worry about a west track or cutter with this type of look One thing I noticed about the 6z/12z gefs is they aren't blasting fronts off the coast leaving us under a cold dome of hp with the trough digging and staying way south. Lots of activity with the ns and ss and boundaries lurking. We'll have no idea what our chances are for 7-10 days but we'll at least be in a setup that could offer some decent chances and not freak events.

clskinsfan Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 The gfs is funky with the xmas day storm. Has some kind of phase east of us and then destroys NE. I ccan almost guarantee that it will happen that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtstack Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 ECWMF doesn't agree with this Euro full phase over philly on Christmas. This could be a very interesting storm if euro is on to something. Probably just 40mph winds and snow squalls for us. I can't see the precip maps.

Ian Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 posted in wrong thread.. big shift. globals like a bomb in that frame though. pattern changer. Euro looks fun for the second storm. Bombs and goes just NW 984-980mb. Mild rain to snowflakes on the backside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, very odd H5 closes off over head and there are multiple lows around us. Everything converges. Too complicated to describe with words and not really worth going into detail. There's going to be some sort of storm in that timeframe but it all looks like rain for us attm. Verbatim, the wv mountains get hammered on this run.

Bob Chill Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 storm was in wisconsin last night too. plus the chicagocane on the para. The low coming across the southern tier of canada is on all guidance i think. Pretty much a dagger for us. Very amplified trough in the middle of the country so you can only imagine some sort of development of something potent underneath it. Severe? haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accuwx finally came out with their Euro numbers....even after the low passes us and we're under the cold 850's, surface temps are in the mid and upper 30's I'm starting to get a little worried that we're back in 3/13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 euro ens has members everywhere for the christmas eve event .. from north of MN to offshore.. but mean is over michigan into canada. It's a pretty crappy snow setup no matter which way you shake it. The trough is sharp and narrow on all guidance and a sub 1000mb low over the lakes makes it even worse. I'm sure there will be multiple lows moving on the boundary but even if a low moves up from underneath us, our temps would be toast until after the gl low an associated cold front has moved through. I suppose if the front stalls nearby to our east after things progress it would open the door but right now I'm setting expectations pretty low until after xmas.

I think our best (only?) shot at a white Christmas is to get some snow squalls out of a s/w that rotates around this monster 500mb low late Xmas eve/Xmas morning. It's a long shot, but probably our only shot. I have seen it modeled once or twice in the last couple days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
