Snowless in Carrollton Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 You know it's a torch when brutally cold = normal temps My whole perception of normal temps is out of whack right now. Highs near 50 sounds cold to me. Also, I notice that I have a 30% chance of rain on Thurs night with a low near 36. Maybe the mountains will get some snow ? Road trip possibly ?

downeastnc Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 I just spent the last hr of light walking around the yard weed eating the onion grass and dandelions, I couldn't stand the thought of cutting the yard....in shorts...in December. Its not that rare though as warm as it is we wont even set a record high with any of the forecasted temps.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lookout Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 check this out. Monster storm nailing the bering sea/aleutions..minimum pressure expected to get down into the 920 to 925mb range. currently on adak island west winds at 77mph with gusts to 101..but a couple of hours ago they had a sustained with of 94 gusting to 122! I know storms in the 920s or 930s are not unheard of but i don't think i've ever heard of winds gusting to 125mph at the surface with them. That seems absolutely incredible when you think about how huge the windfield is and the lesser pressure gradient compared to a hurricane. This was the local forecast for parts of the islands. Tonight Rain in the evening...mixing with snow after midnight. No snow accumulation. Lows in the mid 30s. Southwest wind 60 to 80 with gusts to 110 mph. current discussion from anchorage first with the second being the prior discussion. MEANWHILE THE BIG STORY OF THE DAY IS A VERY DEEP LOW THAT CONTINUESTO RAPIDLY INTENSIFY NEAR THE WESTERN AND CENTRAL ALEUTIANS. THEUPPER JET DYNAMICS WITH THIS SYSTEM ARE AS IMPRESSIVE AS CAN BE.THE LOW DEVELOPED WITHIN A SUBTROPICAL JET COUPLET (LEFT EXITREGION OF ONE JET STREAK/RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION OF ANOTHER) AND APOLAR JET STREAK COMING IN FROM THE WEST HAS NOW MERGED IN WITHTHE SUBTROPICAL JET STREAK TO THE SOUTH OF THE LOW CENTER. THIS ISADVECTING DEEP ARCTIC AIR INTO THE SYSTEM HELPING TO DEEPEN ITEVEN FURTHER. ALTHOUGH THERE ARE NO SURFACE OBSERVATIONS IN THEIMMEDIATE VICINITY OF THE LOW CENTER THE ESTIMATED CENTRALPRESSURE WAS 940 MB OR LOWER AS OF LATE MORNING. CONDITIONSACROSS THE ALEUTIANS AND INTO THE BERING SEA ARE RAPIDLYDETERIORATING. THE PRIMARY THREAT WITH THIS SYSTEM IS HIGH WINDSAND SEAS. HOWEVER...THE AIR MASS OUT AHEAD OF THE (NOW) OCCLUDINGFRONT IS COLD ENOUGH TO SUPPORT SNOW AS PRECIP FIRST ARRIVES...SOSOME AREAS WILL SEE A BRIEF PERIOD OF BLOWING SNOW. FORSHEMYA...WHICH IS ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE SYSTEM...PRECIP WILL BEALL SNOW. TEMPERATURES ARE SITTING A COUPLE DEGREES ABOVE FREEZINGRIGHT NOW...BUT AS WINDS BACK AND TEMPS DROP A BIT THERE COULD BEA BRIEF PERIOD OF NEAR BLIZZARD CONDITIONS LATER TODAY TO GO ALONGWITH THE HIGH WINDS. 2nd OUT WEST...A POWERFUL CYCLONE IS BEGINNING RAPID INTENSIFICATIONSOUTHWEST OF SHEMYA NEAR 47N. THIS POWERFUL CYCLONE IS FORMING OFFTHE KUROSHIO CURRENT...AND HAS AN IMPRESSIVE ARCTIC FEED OF AIRINTO THE BACKSIDE OF THE LOW...WITH THE POLAR JET DRIVINGIMPRESSIVE UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE. THIS SYSTEM HAS ENOUGH LATENTENERGY RELEASE FROM THE MOISTURE OFF THE KUROSHIO CURRENT THAT ITIS FORMING ITS OWN COUPLED UPPER LEVEL JET STREAM. BY LATE THISAFTERNOON...THIS CYCLONE WILL DEVELOP A BENT-BACK FRONTALSTRUCTURE...A CLASSIC SIGNATURE FOR VERY INTENSE CYCLONES...WITHSTORM FORCE TO HURRICANE FORCE WINDS MOVING INTO THE BERING SEAAND ALEUTIAN CHAIN. IN TERMS OF CENTRAL PRESSURE...WITH ANEXPECTED DROP INTO THE 920 HPA RANGE...THIS STORM WILL PUT ITSELFINTO THE TOP ECHELON OF INTENSE CYCLONES TO IMPACT THE BERING SEA.CENTRAL PRESSURES THIS LOW ARE COMMON FOR CATEGORY 3 AND HIGHERHURRICANES...TO GIVE AN IDEA HOW INTENSE THIS BAROCLINIC ANDSYNOPTIC SCALE CYCLONE IS. 13 01:36 W 71 G 108 0.75 Overcast and Windy OVC011 36 27 70% 18 NA 28.32 NA 13 01:16 SW 70 G 106 1.00 Overcast and Windy OVC013 36 27 70% 18 NA 28.30 NA 13 00:56 SW 91 G 106 0.75 Overcast and Windy OVC013 36 27 70% 16 NA 28.26 NA 13 00:36 SW 87 G 109 0.75 Overcast and Windy OVC013 36 28 75% 17 NA 28.25 NA 13 00:16 SW 71 G 101 1.00 Overcast and Windy OVC011 36 28 75% 18 NA 28.24 NA 12 23:56 SW 82 G 114 0.75 Overcast and Windy OVC011 36 27 70% 17 NA 28.20 NA 12 23:36 SW 94 G 122 0.50 Overcast and Windy OVC013 36 27 70% 16 NA 28.17 NA 12 23:16 SW 94 G 122 0.50 Overcast and Windy OVC013 36 27 70% 16 NA 28.15 NA 12 22:56 SW 81 G 121 0.75 Overcast and Windy OVC013 36 27 70% 17 NA 28.15 NA 12 22:36 SW 84 G 105 1.25 Overcast and Windy OVC013 36 27 70% 17 NA 28.12 NA 12 22:16 SW 84 G 120 0.75 Overcast and Windy OVC013 36 28 75% 17 NA 28.09 NA 12 21:56 SW 87 G 112 0.75 Overcast and Windy OVC013 36 27 70% 17 NA 28.04 NA 12 21:36 SW 87 G 122 0.50 Overcast and Windy OVC013 36 27 70% 17 NA 28.00 NA 12 21:16 SW 92 G 117 0.50 Overcast and Windy OVC013 36 28 75% 16 NA 27.97 NA 12 20:56 SW 79 G 105 0.75 Overcast and Windy OVC015 36 28 75% 17 NA 27.94 NA 12 20:36 SW 83 G 115 0.75 Overcast and Windy OVC015 37 28 70% 18 NA 27.91 NA 12 20:16 SW 78 G 110 1.00 Overcast and Windy OVC015 37 28 70% 19 NA 27.89 NA 12 19:56 SW 68 G 105 1.00 Overcast and Windy OVC017 37 28 39 37 70% 20 NA 27.87 NA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solak Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 This was from 9 hours ago... NOAA NWS Ocean Prediction Center added 3 new photos. 9 hrs · Here is an update on the hurricane force low currently moving into the Bering Sea! The OPC 00Z Pacific surface analysis shows the low has dropped to a pressure of 928 mb. 00Z Himawari visible satellite imagery shows the impressive structure of the storm along with the analyzed location of the low center. Finally, several earlier ASCAT passes over this storm reveal the swath of hurricane force winds (> 64 KT) to the south of the low. 37 Likes3 Comments36 Shares Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BristowWx Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I hope so, this horrific pattern is really getting on my last nerve. [/quot Agree with that. We live with warm weather for most of the year. Would be nice to not need the AC on Christmas.

shaggy Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I was hoping for a lot of snow in January but my wife was due january 23rd and she didn't want to hear about snow around that time. We'll be having the baby early right after xmas so now i'm back to hoping for mountains of snow in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calculus1 Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 It's one thing to critique someone's forecast. It's another thing to consistently condemn and denigrate people when you don't agree with them, especially when no time is given to see if they are even correct. The snark is getting a little much in here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
