Typhoon Tip Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 What is less than clear is what form this will take...whether, a singular more important event, or perhaps a series of them. But, one aspect that has me intrigued is that regardless of model type/source/origin, I'm seeing heights recess below the ~ 35th parallel from the eastern Pacific through the Americas and into the Atlantic. This is happening as the EPO is falling negative. We'll get back to that.. The CDC's PNA prognostics have finally begun to reflect that the CPC's, with a fairly robust surge (positive) in the index as we end out the first week of February. The 'pulse' in the PNA may be enough to send an important signal/wave correction down stream across the mid latitudes of N/A, as it is certainly sufficiently present in the numbers. But also, many individual members of the GFS' ensembles have been signaling some sort of 200 to 268 hour "interval of interest" - it is interesting to see the broader canvased teleconnector support there sort of coming in after the fact. While the mid latitudes get around to sending (or not) some sort of corrective event across the Americas, the entire breadth of the NP may be nearing the best AA phase we've seen this winter. That's important as a tandem series of events, because the PNA can do so without the over-arcing colder signal to work with. Which is to say, the WPO is strongly negative in the prognostics now, during the first half of February. And, the evaluation includes a timely relay into a robustly dropping EPO index. The end result is a stormy look/interpretation there. ...Pretty damn good one too. wow. Should the age-old plague of this winter (seasonal resistant height recession in the deep south) also cooperate, I'd feel more confident of a bigger singular event or two (perhaps..). However, it is possible if not plausible that the current sort of hint for that to happen fails, and there is continued shearing/velocity challenges to impulses in the flow... effectively shallowing them out in latitude. Either way, more rather than less active should bring in the first 10 days to two weeks of this next month; we've been onto this for longer term experimental product types, but we are now seeing some of this via more convectional means (in my estimation) which lends a bit of confidence ... well, 'more so' than before.

So, to sum up your thoughts, all of New England is guaranteed a great snowy stretch of winter weather for the entire month of February. Just kidding. Thanks for the write up. I appreciate the time and effort that you and the other mets put in to the discussions here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USCAPEWEATHERAF Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Tip, interesting trends on the NAM this evening. The surface reflection to the upper level vort maximum is gaining momentum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USCAPEWEATHERAF Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 NAM is trying to produce low level inflow into the SNE region. Cape and Islands could be in for a few inches of snow if trends continue on the models. EURO was closest to the NAM depiction this evening.

USCAPEWEATHERAF Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 NAM looks to slow with the trough on Monday before the Wednesday storm comes through, there just isn't enough ridging between the shortwaves for the Wednesday clipper to come further south.

TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 NAM looks pretty meh for the clipper.... takes a very similar track across southern VT and NH as the 18z GFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Definitely some improvement on the GFS for the Wednesday clipper. Tracks a bit South and gets a bit more organized from 18z. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanStWx Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Snagged this from the previous mayhem thread, but Jerry is spot on. The ensemble sensitivity guidance argues for this very point.

ORH_wxman Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 As long as that vort energy is tracking underneath SNE it bears watching...my bigger concern is the energy stays a little too stretched out and flattish...but if it gets just a shade more organized then look out...you could all of the sudden go from like a C-2" event to 3-6. Not predicting that....before people start making vague passive-aggressive references to "forecasts of 3-6" if this doesn't pan out by early next week, but just giving some insight into what can go right or wrong not this system.

USCAPEWEATHERAF Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Yeah Scott, Monday isn't happening at all. I like the way the models are trending with the clipper, further south and stronger further west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree Will. Wednesday clipper has a ton of energy involved, the more energy involved the stronger a system can be potentially if it has a sharp trough with it, but if it is stretched out then the system will be less robust.

OceanStWx Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 You know, model progs are looking a little mid level magical for Monday. Pretty decent f-gen from 850-700 mb, closed/closing lows provide some deformation. I would say the forcing isn't half bad from BID to the Canal on the GFS and Euro. Problem is there could be some saturation issues (GFS has a 75-80% area lurking around the Pike) so the lift wouldn't really amount to much. I do hate the GFS QPF output though.
