February 20-22 Storm Potential


Hoosier

Recommended Posts

Other than liking the chances for accumulating snow, don't feel very comfortable going with a call yet.  But I'm not big on ratios for this one as there's not much of a DGZ to speak of and highs here on Saturday look to be in the low 30s, though most of the snow may fall before afternoon if current timing holds.

It's laughable how quickly this is becoming yet another sheared out/positive tilt POS.

As long as Shredder sticks around, I guess we might as well get used to it.

Feb 1st-2nd, 2015 really was a fluke.

I was just thinking the same. GHDII was simply atmospheric magic in the happening.

I still think this wave (funny that's all it's going to be now) will bring another dab for most of the sub forum.

Call me a bit perplexed at the placement of the winter storm watch.

 

With the weather we've had this week, I think they're just wanting to warn people about the upcoming storm and the hazards that will come with it. I live in a major metro area and my street is still completely snow covered.

 

lol....   someone might get a lot of wintry precip...we just don't know who, how much, or what kind.  

 

I laughed myself. The models are showing some bizzare totals. Canadian would switch us all over to rain while the EURO had 10.5 inches of snow for Somerset in the southeast part of the state.

The up and downs by people from every model run is enjoyable to read.   :D  

From the beginning this system had variable model out written all over it.  A bunch of unorganized S/Ws in BC, GOA & southern AK becoming organize and cutting off from the NW flow over CA with a leading s/w piece getting sent off into the large northern stream.  While the porn runs yesterday were fun for MBY I was not sold at all that they were close to reality.  The models are doing what they can with the limited data but I think it will take until 12Z Friday before the lead S/Ws strength is better understood.

As long as Shredder sticks around and the subtropical jet remains embarassingly pitiful, I guess we might as well get used to it.

I agree. If the projected -PNA verifies and stays consistent, we can eventually cool down the PDO region and increase our chances of a La Nina next Winter. Preceding El Nino's can be beneficial for our area. A La Nina weather pattern with an enhanced STJ is golden for our region. 1998-99, 2007-08, and 2010-11 are good examples.

Lol at Mike Ryan at IND today.....

 

EXPECT MOST IF NOT ALL OF THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA WILL EVENTUALLY NEED A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY BUT STILL HAVE ANOTHER FORECAST CYCLE TO HAMMER OUT SPECIFICS AND SNOW VS ICE...ESPECIALLY IF THE MODEL SUITE THROWS OUT THE DREADED LAST MINUTE SHIFT NORTH THAT HAS BEEN A STAPLE OF WINTER
2014-15 IN THE OHIO VALLEY.

At 4PM, Miami's dew point was 19...I imagine that is close to an all-time record low.

 

Also, Miami may drop into the 30s tonight...which is extremely rare.  I believe it occurs once every 3-4 years?

It does seem pretty rare, the northern half of florida has hard freeze warnings tonight, and the southern half freeze warnings, hope they don't loose too many orange trees or other farm stuff tonight.
