PDIII Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 12z EPS decently west of 0z EPS....nice run...I am not seeing it...http://www.tropicaltidbits.com/analysis/models/?model=ecmwf-ens®ion=us&pkg=mslpa&runtime=2016011512&fh=192&xpos=0&ypos=120 http://www.tropicaltidbits.com/analysis/models/?model=ecmwf-ens®ion=us&pkg=mslpa&runtime=2016011512&fh=204&xpos=0&ypos=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nj2va Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Not sure when it comes out...It usually comes out at 6pm or so on Vista,...but doesnt always show up...not sure what time on Wxbell...0z never showed up Yeah, I have no idea when they come out either...though it seems about 10 or so hours after the OP. But I know there was issue earlier this week where it took a whole day or so for the Para to come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much better than the op. Still a mixed bag of solutions but some big hits. 8-9 6"+ storms and a handful of other decent ones. Mean snowfall 3" inside of d8. First time all year.

Scarlet Pimpernel Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 All in all, this is clearly our best bet so far this season (speaking of late this upcoming week). "Best bet so far" not exactly being a high bar, I know! But it appears we have a good shot at scoring something even with the less-than-perfect solutions. That's not really something we've seen thus far. And it's under 200 hours, too. Like being in the red zone the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Interstingly, euro showing another amplification and shot at something around the 28th give or take a day. Ji storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchnick Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 If you look at the 500mb height anomalies for day 5 on Tropical Tidbits, the High anomalies are well to our NW, centered over the Wisconsin/Minnesota border. In my mind, it opens up a solution allowing the slp to come further up the coast than the operational Euro depicts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's the same one the GFS showed the other day hammering us? It's appeared on and off. Another 10 day window storm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nj2va Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Not surprisingly, 12z GEPS (GGEM Ensembles) not as amped as the OP and tracks the low off the SC/NC coast NE off OBX. Mean QPF is 0.75 for DC. High pressure anomalies to our NW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Juat like Ian mentioned a day or two ago. Torch is now pushed back to d15 if you believe it at all. Yes, there are potentially a couple warm days centered around d9 or so but another cool shot and amplified look with a +pna. Euro begins the pac invasion in the west d14-15 now. We'll likely be AN on the means for d9 - 15 but no longer looking like a string of warm days in a row. Hard to get mad at today's ens runs for a lot of reasons.

Going to be hard to sustain a big warm up it would seem but pulses seem likely. Tho we'll have to see how things realign.. GEFS is a bit more friendly with northern lats than EPS. Op GFS has a neat look by the end.. yeah op GFS but less smoothed at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A short warm-up (or even a brief torch...emphasis on brief!) isn't so bad, if it's not something that locks in as we get into February. That apparently is not something that should be a concern, inferring from what you're saying here (hopefully correctly). I think some kind of milder/relaxed period was more or less expected for right near the end of January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I thought day 10 ensemble on Tropical Tidbits looked very nice. Considering we'll be at are climo lows for the winter at the end of this month, no one should be concerned about 850 temps showing up a little AN. We can get snow in that regime around here at the end of January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is clearly not a good year for snowpack and days with snow on the ground. Well, if we had any anyways. Lol Wet paste is totally cool with me. I don't even care about anything except putting numbers on the board. Idgaf if it melts in a day or 2 or gets topped with rain. It's all about numbers and right now it won't be hard to beat a T.

The Feb. 2006 storm was one where it was warm a few days before that, and was in the 60s again shortly after. Nearly all remnants were gone within a week.

stormtracker Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I hope we all know that from here on out, we're probably in "1 step forward, 2 steps back" mode. 18z will probably blow. Maybe even 0z...then 6z gets us back and rights the ship. 12z tomm will be mixed. 0z Monday will be a hit and then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all about numbers and right now it won't be hard to beat a T. yeah looks primarily back and forth but cold enough if the storm track is right perhaps. models are dumping a deeper trough into the west late pretty much across the board. that's sort of what the GFS op goes nuts on with a big SE ridge popping but the jet is absolutely ripping at the same time so imagine it would be progressive. but if we score (or don't) ahead it'll have been in a more classic way than what's shown after -- transitioning out of deep block and into pos territory etc. without blocking we're usually fairly toast in strong ninos.

I saw that deep western trough and pumped up ridge here in the long range GFS, too (like everyone else has I'm sure). I also wonder if that's just an artifact of a wound-up storm and not a hint of locking in December again (which looked like that most of the time!). Seems like that should be the case.

It's all about numbers and right now it won't be hard to beat a T. In the strong Nino's since 1950 that went above normal snow-wise, we managed at least one "big one" that didn't have temp issues for DC. But as I posted in the banter thread, I almost wish we get a "normal" DC snow-wise with one 6"+ event, a couple more in the 3-5" range, and a mixed event or two, just to add a new look to a Super Nino.
