January Med/Long Range Disco Part 2


WinterWxLuvr

Recommended Posts

Let's face it: we've kicked off "50-50 low chance" season this past Saturday with that storm, this clipper sequence and now possible 3 different storms in the medium range. If this series of waves cannot carve out a solid PV displacement into SE Canada, I'm not sure what can at this point.

It is nice though it's also weird. I guess it's the trailing vort that screws it up on this run.. or something. It's like it's going boom then it decides to wobble around. The wobbler.

Maybe I'm too short sighted because of the last "long duration event" the euro spit out ended up being more focused. My hunch is things consolidate as we get closer. The weirdness is more likely noise because it's awful tuff to nail an active ns at medium leads.

At the very least all reliable guidance digs below us. Do we whiff? Might be more difficult than usual.

Tenman's Johnson has said it's this week or bust as well.

I'm still more interested in it than the first coastal event.. I think. Other than timing the first seems ripe for fail at this point.

Only you could make me lol at this hour. Anyway, when that Baja Pac magic arrives with classic split flow and a nice Canadian High builds down...we better have a somewhat decent Atlantic in place for early Feb. If so, it will be the kind of storm Ji is looking for.

Considering the Atlantic would have a hard time being worse your post plays the odds like a handicapper ;)

That's how you do it in long range. lol...I'm not looking for anything classic or 2009-10 like here. I'm looking for split flow setup running into a PV that was recently displaced...like 2003.

I'm not too worried just yet. In another 10 days that could be another story. Though I've already said this is a better winter than the two before last.. some debate, but in the city it's not even that close IMO. The early month clipper was nice.. cold snow, covered everything. That definitely helped. Of course without it I'd be floating down the Potomac with Ji at this point maybe.

Long range is a stock market head scratcher for the best in the business. No sure things but hedging works. The best hedgers make the most.

I've been reading your posts for years and you are no doubt a top tier hedger. And also quick to step down when things go awry unlike others

at times. Hopefully Feb works but we might hit climo before then...LOL

It would be great if this clipper heralds the arrival of a parade of storms...but...one storm at a time ;)

If we get a clipper, even 1/4 qpf as snow this weekend, more snow Monday.. then three giant storms to start Feb this winter is going to look pretty awesome.

Weird depiction with that deform(ish) stuff west of DC. I'd expect with an h5 like that and the set-up it would be an area wide warning event, but who is parsing those details with 2 events before it and at 5 day leads. I really do like that one for most of the area, especially considering temps. 

 

it might dig more...it is awkward, but the 18z GFS was awkward in a similar fashion
