burgertime Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Euro EPS so far looks better today so far to me. PV not as far south but looks stronger and further east than the 00z run. Also has bigger highs coming out of Canada. Probably not going to be a slam dunk cold run but it's taken a step. We'll have to see where it goes from here my maps are only out to like 123 hours.

deltadog03 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 New weather video is up. We talk about the Severe weather possibilities for us across the state and much of the SE. I do think we have a shot at severe weather for Tuesday and Wednesday. Also look ahead to Christmas weather and into the weekend storm. I actually think we could have some fun and games with that one as well. Then, we shall talk about the storm for next week...Maybe some wintry fun with the NYD storm, or a couple of them around that timeframe. And last but not least, we will talk about the overall pattern and NOT to cancel winter and NOT to jump off the cliff. Please stay weather aware and as always feedback is appreciated. Please continue to share my video, page and if you don't mind hit the invite button to your friends for them to like my page potentially as well. -Chris https://www.facebook.com/ChriswxmanSimmons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burgertime Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Well the Euro EPS looks a tad better in the LR so far but that isn't saying much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltadog03 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Spacing makes it near impossible to really get a handle on. With the se ridge trying to flex, it would go a long way to get a real cold push in first. Never makes it until d9-10 on this run. That can easily change of course but I'm not going to bite on anything until cold air is established beforehand. very good point. I want to see the pattern push the cold front through the SE first. Then worry about a wave or 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packbacker Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 What? One inch? When you see how bad the EPS is day 11 on you will take 1" too. Funny, the "good pattern"'on the Euro starts day 9 and it feels like it's taken forever to get here, but the "bad pattern" is coming fast and furious on the models. Last time I felt like this was 2011-12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packbacker Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Let's see...EPS day 11+ shows, +AO, +NAO, -PNA and +EPO. The good news is they are all bad, atleast we can't say well if just NAO would cooperate. Sometimes hope is a bad thing. I just threw up in my mouth a little.

Hopefully, they don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I felt like this was 2011-12. This is nothing like that disaster. I don't think we had 3 days in a row at any point during that winter when it looked like it the pac jet was going to slow down on any models. Hell we might not have 3 runs in a row on any model. Horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I will say this, the odds of that mess being correct is no higher than the odds of a mega ice age being correct. So, at least, we have that.

superjames1992 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Weren't we chasing a good pattern that never came all winter in 2012-2013? I seem to remember that a pattern change was always two weeks away until it was April. Thankfully, we did have a solid wintry week in mid to late January with the ULL and then the sleet and freezing rain storm on January 25th which saved winter.

Webberweather53 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 In addition to Equatorial VP research, I'm currently in the process of reconstructing some of the pre 1980 snowstorms which affected east-central North Carolina that aren't currently shown in the RAH Past Events archive. One of the more notable storms was February 17-19 1979... "The snow storm began late Saturday and ended early Monday. Snow fall ranged from trace along the Coast; 6 to 8 inches on the Coastal Plain; 9 to 13 inches in the Piedmont; and 10 to 19 inches in the Mountains. Several buildings collapsed from snow on the roof. Poultry farms in Union County have near 1/2 million dollars in damage. Eight people were killed. Four got lost in the snow and died of exposure; two boys were killed by a snow plow; and two men had heart attacks in the snow. Businesses and schools closed. Some utility lines were damaged. Several scout troops had to be rescued in the mountains where they were camped. In addition there were many people injured and cars damaged from snow related accidents." I combined the NESIS map w/ COOP observations (which are displayed) & used some previous knowledge regarding NC winter storm climatology to make this map Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Tamland Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 If we can just have one big storm like that, it would give us the above average snow, and a big one like that would be worth not having anymore te rest of winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Rain Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Webber's back. Nice maps ^. Let's score a couple of those this year and we'll all be happy. When is it going to get cold man? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downeastnc Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Severe threats always get my attention, I personally cant wait till winter is giving way to early spring, the hand wringing over the models is almost unbearable lol..... My experience is that when the models are all wishy washy and we have severe threats in the winter it usually translate into a decent period of winter weather ...

burgertime Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 18z is trying. Has a 1032 high in descent position. @172...colder overall vs. it's 12z run at the same time frame. Not a killer look but not too bad either. Need that energy in the west to kick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaWx Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Good news and bad news. Bad news: the Euro weeklies suck, period. They have E US ridging/-PNA as well as +NAO and +AO to the end. There's no way to sugar coat that. Now, for those who haven't turned away after that bad news, here's the good news: 18Z GFS is starting off even better than the 12Z GFS (which itself was much improved vs. the 0Z/6Z GFS) with very impressive west coast ridging at 168! Also, keep in mind that the Euro weeklies are based on the 0Z run. So, in essence they're a little outdated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
