Christmas Storm III


Cold Rain

Recommended Posts

My hunch is Euro will revert to just a storm for the upper Mid-Atlantic and NE and leave us with just backside upslope snow. In other words, an anemic event with boundary temp issues.

I hope my hunch is incorrect but NCEP skipped right over us laying out heavy snow threat risk and too many private forecasters feel this is an up the coast event.

Probably a good thing 4 days out.

It's more likely to be sheared out and give nobody snow than it is to go well north and leave us dry and warm.

Something no one is talking about is the prospect of this phasing even more. With that 50/50 low in place and the trend of strengthening the southern s/w, it is likely something will phase into the backside of it. If it happens too soon, a track further NW is possible.

My concern is that it gets pushed very far south and off the coast..... bad for western NC but good for GA/SC. You can see the cold air pushing south on the nam from 72 to 78 to 84.

There will likely be some losers in the whole thing as everyone has now set very loft expectations. Would really have to thread the needle to to make everyone happy. As for me, I have to drive to Orlando Sunday afternoon/Monday morning for a soccer tournament.

I was thinking the same thing...if this thing phases early, it could definitely send it further NW.

I was thinking it was gonna phase too late. You think it's gonna phase earlier than what we have seen on todays runs?

i am listening, and that is a good point. Something definitely to watch.

The 12z euro is further NW of the 00z euro b/c it phases it more. The trend last year was for this happen even more so inside of 72 hours. Just throwing it out there.

He is not thinking it will. He (or they) are saying that it is something to "watch" for. Tonight's GFS and Euro runs will be very interesting. Hoping the GFS falls more inline with the Euro solution and that the Euro does not change towards what the GFS has shown today. Fun times ahead on this roller coaster...

Considering the size of the shortwave compared to the northern stream features, I really can't envision a more potent phase than what the EURO showed at 12z. I'm not saying we can't get a more intense solution, but that would require having a larger southern stream shortwave to work with in the first place. I feel that its far more likely that the Euro is on the high end of potential with its dynamical solution.

Thanks, And very good points. Last year we had the strong STJ to help us out tho. This year we have LA screw that likes to crush any southern stream wave. But i would like to see an earlier phase and a farther NW track.

That would be funny, we get 35F rain Xmas night and DC north get pounded, like 10 months ago. That would be there 4th blizzard in 2010, 5th in 12 months.

No, it would not be funny at all. gun_bandana.gifSnowman.gifaxesmiley.pngthumbsdownsmileyanim.gif

Anyways, hopefully, we can get the 0z GFS in our camp tonight. I know it's an outlier, but having the GFS not buying the Euro solution is still making me a bit nervous in the back of my mind.

Agreed on the ultimate strength of the 12 euro as being on the high end of the scale. But the timing is what's important. If the 50/50 low is persistent in hanging on and we see the southern stream continue to trend slower, which happens sometimes. A phase sooner out over the central deep south would result in a more negative trough angle. So instead of this sfc low going from the northern GOM to HAT, it could go from New Orleans to Savannah to the eastern coastal plain. That would make a big difference for a lot of folks.
