Ending out December with a Potential Pattern Change


CoastalWx

Recommended Posts

I'm not saying I buy it(and in fact don't), but we've certainly seen quick flips before and I don't think that's a valid reason to toss them. However, this

Makes sense. LR guidance now in pretty good agreement on a cold first third of January with a -EPO pattern and chances, I think by the 5th-10th or so we'll see where this pattern will take us, what it looks like going forward, and what the strat has done by that point and that should give us a decent idea of where we're heading for the rest of the month.

I don't see how it breaks down that quick. Week 4 actually goes back to higher heights in AK again.

I'm worried about the 12/30 event as most models support some form of precip over the region.  GFS is warmest with the front passing through and the main precip shield moves to the southeast, and the euro has a lack of a system as it is far southeast.  The GGEM is most consistent with a 4-8" snowstorm hitting the region south of the MA Pike.

worried? It is what it is, currently it isn't

Ginxy, it currently is, not isn't.  Only the EURO and GFS to an extent don't show support, they will come around.

It's tricky to say an event is when neither the EURO or the GFS support it. I wouldn't say it isn't considering it has support from the Para, UKIE, and GGEM(and the EURO did trend north with it), but it isn't really is yet either. Let's call it in limbo for now and see where we go over the next day or two of runs :)

The weeklies make no sense, by January 20th the MJO will likely be in phase 7 or 8 if you look at the Euro ensembles which have been pretty darn good with it so far....there is no way in hell it takes til the 10th of January for us to flip mild with it barreling through 4-5-6 before that...the lag response is not that long so either the weeklies are correct that we're gonna go mild and are simply too late on when its going to occur or they are just completely wrong.

Last year in late December and early Jan I ranted about the winter just sucking wind and was told to be patient.....there was some rebound and winter dud show for a few weeks but it wasn't long before the Forsythia bloomed.....with a few min left on this holy night before the 0z GFS comes out i'd just ask for a few reassuring words from the vets on here....Ginxy and Fella perhaps....that all is not lost....suks so bad that December has been lost....in a short 6 weeks we'll be whistling Dixie on a light SW breeze wondering WTF happened to winter....not a lot of time left folks....before you know it Morch will be here and we'll be holding our collective weenies in our hands wondering how we got here....

Waiting For Winter....Worse than Last Year.....

Regular GFS still focuses on the first wave and has light rain to maybe SHSN for SNE, nothing on the second wave that the other models have. Para isn't quite out far enough yet, but I think it'll look good, was noticeably stronger with the energy early on compared to the 18z run and a more amplified look overall then that run I think(which still brought advisory totals for most of SNE).

Thanks for answering my last question. My next question is when does the para GFS become the only gfs?
