moneypitmike Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 On 10/10/2017 at 3:52 PM, ORH_wxman said: I'll add the the pike region in the past has frequently been a dividing line in overrunning events. Esp during that 2007-2008 season, but it's happened in some other events too since then...the terrain over western and central MA and the high pressure orientation (frequently N of Maine funneling the arctic air down the coast into E MA) in these events make the pike region kind of the battle ground for the cold air vs the WAA to the southwest, and you'll see the sleet/snow line begin to meet a lot of resistance in that zone. Expand In the words of The Boss, "Down here it's just winners and losers and don't get caught on the wrong side of that line." Also, be mindful of Route 2.

CoastalWx Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I finally looked at the monthly H5 breakdown on the euro seasonal. While Feb and Mar may play with fire as verbatim...Dec and Jan looked pretty good..esp December. Looks like typical Nina only with maybe less of a typical -PNA? I didn't see a -NAO really, but overall heights near AK to the N Pole were above normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Why would an ensemble 11-15 day mean forecast in October suggest a warm or cold winter? Unless he's taking a shot at Bastardi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I don't see why we can't displace things 30-50mi south this season, either. ENSO is weaker, and I think that is manifesting itself in the PDO, as some others have pointed out.

Expand The synoptic mechanics of it are that the low redevelops into a triple point just near the south coast from the surface up, due to the immense confluence to the northeast (high)....thus the capacity of the high to negate the vestigial WAA from the parent low is attenuated with height...ie the profile is slanted. The surface remains colder, while the warmth overtakes the mid and upper levels, hence the sleet...but once sufficient latitude is achieved, the entire column succumbs to the colder redevelopment. The latter point will occur at a lower latitude relative to that this season, this year imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 That ridging near AK and overall higher heights near the N Pole with troughing near Davis Straits is how I envision it. I'm still not sold on true blocking..but I'll take a decent Pacific. Teleconnects to a SE ridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
