Typhoon Tip Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 1 hour ago, ORH_wxman said: I'm not afraid of a GOA low either...we've done fine with them....the "Death vortex" I refer to is a strong vortex over W AK/Bering region/adjacent north into Arctic ocean...so many of warm/snowless winters have had them. 2011-2012, 2001-2002, 1999-2000, etc. That region definitely seems to be important for keeping some meridional flow into Canada... Probably part and parcel to the same talking points re the west, north ...east or south EPO biases ... I mean if we really wanna dig into the philosophy of the thing. That you're describing sounds like a split EPO index, with the eastern sector negative and western sector positive. Only, in your scenario there, the positive part is perhaps of greater SD in that mode. I would also advance that there may be some continental feed-back in that situation. If there is a strong broad brushed injection of a Pac latent heat pushing into western Canada, given to that region of the hemisphere being a veritable desert ... there's not much stopping a ridge wave length from getting really long. I bet if there was a pan-mass antecedent snow pack that might also make some horrortexes less scary - just a thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon Tip Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 speaking of which ... I was interested (if not surprised) to see the cryosphere numbers almost dead-nuts on the 10 years averages the other day. not sure if/what the greater significance of that should be... but, i think given the pretty overwhelming antecedent global climate cues going back 10 or 20 years, i'd take the average and run with it if i was you! it shows at least a temporary abeyance of an established culture of overwhelming losses in that regard. Which... yeeah, it's possible; if the background climate flux is still in play, doesn't average show a gross cooling? seems it should in the arithmetic - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am the proud owner of that term, made famous in Jan 11, used extensively in Feb 13 and made as a permanent adjective in 2015. Still can't believe how cold it was with all that snow. When you have -13 in the coldest climo period of the year the last thing you expect to go with that is 100 inches of snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

40/70 Benchmark Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Call me a weenie, but a warm September/October couplet, aside from retarding the festive progression, does not engender a great deal of pessmissm from me RE the ensuing winter. Anecdotally, how many times have we seen -4SD AOs in October preceede the stratosphere going ice cold? Top of my grape, 2006 and 2016 (or last year) in recent memory..

Funny how 2007 showed up a bunch in the recent high temperature records up here (that were crushed) for this time of year. Even 2010 also showed up on one of these dates.

We can have warm falls that lead to warm winters, but also cold falls that lead to warm winters. And the opposite is true as well. Just like when some like to pin a warm fall on a below normal summer because you already "used up" your negative departures. How many times have we seen a torch summer lead to a torch fall? Plenty. The whole idea that the previous season's temperature departures give a good indication of the next season's departures, seems more like a defense mechanism than anything.

But the fact that the Maritimes are cool and chilly and the Midwest is hot is why there is backdoor potential. But if you drop a surface high into the position that the Euro is showing it's not really favorable for pumping the heat into New England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Yeah...next week doesn't look like a major torch to me either...yet. Glad we don't live at H5. Those warmer 850s kinda hit a brick wall as they get near our longitude and you can see the sfc high anchor itself in. Even with full sun maybe some weaker mixing than usual? Even the GFS doesn't get 850s above 10C so even if you want to lump a generous 15C onto that you're talking mid 70s and lower humidity. I'd probably lean on the cooler side of that at this point too...u60s/l70s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Euro op is definitely warmer Tuesday before the possible BDCF. Maybe one well above normal day and then some backdoor relief? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's definitely a strong ridge aloft being modeled to work in, but the taint potential is there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
