mitchnick Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 Accuwx has low 60's the first week of March. It's hard getting in the mood for cold once you get the first taste of spring. look at HM's tweet referencing 1888 and 1943 (9th one down) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowfan Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 look at HM's tweet referencing 1888 and 1943 (9th one down) ooh. If it's going to be cold I'd much rather it remain cold. I don't want cold, warm and back to cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want cold, warm and back to cold. agree as long as it snows again, I'm fine with a warm up since that's to be expected in MAR but if it gets warm, then cold and it doesn't snow, then the heck with the cold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlizzardNole Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I hope March absolutely torches. I want to see a huge SE ridge develop and stay....put a bullet right between the eyes of this winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchnick Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 latest Sref time line looks to bring precip into the area by Sat. morning, which is closer to the Canadian, the fastest of the globals in this case, the earlier the better for the front end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fozz Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I'll bet it will be colder than the models are showing now. Me too. I have a hard time believing such an epic cold airmass would be dislodged so easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amped Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I'll bet it will be colder than the models are showing now. Possible, need the southern stream to cut off and the northern stream to be faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchnick Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 Possible, need the southern stream to cut off and the northern stream to be faster. fortunately, there's time for that, but it better start showing up on the models in some degree or another ideally by tomorrow and Thursday at the latest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Once the high slides off the coast the airmass will moderate very quickly even with cold wedged into ga. Frozen chances and what type will depend mostly on how quick precip can get in here. Upper air pattern looks pretty terrible for any low to pass south of us. Maybe something weak. The weak low traversing the lake in advance hurts as well. I know much can change and agree it's a pretty stout antecedent airmass. But its on the move. My main hope is to not get .5-1" of rain with temps above freezing. That would be a sad way to end a pretty damn good winter week. Thump of whatever frozen-dryslot-fropa is my guess of a best case scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gymengineer Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 The models didn't nail down even the right day for this past event at this range.... the NAM at the end of its run was focusing on the Tuesday night/Wednesday morning event that the GFS had shifted over to lock on to. I know you all know this and have commented on it, but again, the events outside of 72-hrs have not shown their final solution from late January through February so far.

Bob Chill Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 NAM looks like it may want to get things going by first thing Sat. morning or soon thereafter You made me look. lol. Just for the exercise... 18z gfs @ 90 digs the vort back towards vegas with slower progression. NAM is digging down through CO with faster progression Better confluence and heights above us as well... But it's the nam @ 84. If the GFS looks like it in an hour then the mood will change in here.

WEATHER53 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 all we really know right now, once again, is that a moisture package will travel somewhere east of the Mississippi into some cold air. Will it be Ohio Valley, Applchns, VA/NC border or off Georgia coast is unknown but all of those will be portrayed over next few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxw Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 are we positive it's a "moisture package"? all we really know right now, once again, is that a moisture package will travel somewhere east of the Mississippi into some cold air.

I usually am ok with going back in time and looking at analogs, but I feel like this would just be such a chore to find. What are the analogs for DC to go from lower teens to rain and 50's the next day and then back down to the teens the next day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can happen if the high moves offshore and the flow amplifies, shorter wavelengths at this time of year can make it easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
