Powerball Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 The latest GFS brings the heat back by mid-month (after a brief "cool down"). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reverse the summer and winter durations you’re used to. We get six month summers 50-60 days of 90+ heat is common. Record set not long ago at 90 days in one year over 90 and we get 1-2 months of winter the rest of the year tends to be gorgeous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FallsLake Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Pattern change is within 7days now. As RAH states below, freezing temps likely. In most years this would not be an issue, but its been so warm I would hope they issue freeze warnings (...usually this doesn't start until the end of March). <LAST PART OF LONG RANGE> It will become breezy-windy in CAA behind the front Thu night and particularly with diurnal heating on Fri, amidst a tight height/ pressure gradient around the occluding deep layer low off the middle Atlantic coast. Temperatures will trend cooler, into the 50s, to lwr- mid 60s in srn counties Fri-Sat, with colder lows in the 30s to lwr40s by the weekend, and some sub-freezing temperatures probable over the Piedmont on Mon morning.

At the 10 day range there'll be huge solution differences with each run. We have (try) to ignore the details and only focus on the pattern. Get us to Saturday/Sunday and hopefully a storm is showing.

Let me go ahead and get this out of the way now regarding next week's potential........the sun angle is too high, the soil temp is too warm, the warm nose is too strong, there will be a dry slot, gulf thunderstorms will rob the moisture, no chance for anyone outside the mountains, and oh yeah the time changes next week so it will be daylight longer.

Upstate Tiger Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 From GSP's Mid Range Forecast Discussion this morning..... Max Temps near normal Friday through Sunday then a couple degrees below normal Monday. It is interesting that the GFS gives our area a snowstorm late next week, but EC has us dry and warmer. Low chance of GFS being right. ......So you're saying there's a chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably was kidding but you can never be sure. Back when they moved the start of daylight saving time from late April to March there actually were some people seriously concerned that the extra hour of sunlight that early in the year would cause an early spring.

Upstate Tiger Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I was just kidding but I had a co worker once who said in November that his deer hunting wasn’t going well because the time had changed and the deer were confused.

When we abruptly change our patterns it throws the animals off there schedules which often revolve around us. Nonscientific observation: roadkill spikes around time changes.

Further investigation of the road kill phenomenon would probably show the spring increase would occur in the morning and the fall increase in the afternoon. No big mystery.

jburns Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I guess it could be worse. 27º above normal for Feb. is just crazy. https://www.cnn.com/2018/02/27/weather/arctic-temperatures-record-high-intl/index.html Calculations from Cape Morris Jessup, the world's northernmost land-based weather station, show that temperatures from February in eastern Greenland and the central Arctic are averaging about 15°C (27°F) warmer than seasonal norms.

Tacoma Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Guys isn't March 8 thru 12 looking very interesting? I realize its 10 days out but its got potential. GSP has mentioned snow possibly the end of next week in the mountains, that's all they will say right now which is understandable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FallsLake Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 It's really too bad this upcoming pattern didn't occur one month earlier (of heck two weeks earlier). The 12z GFS does show two potential storm events past day 8. Problem is time of year. Even with a great setup many outside of the mountains just can't get cold enough to see a significant winter storm. We can hope that the models are having a hard time determining surface temps with the March blocking but reality is it will be very difficult to score a late season storm (for lower elevations). For the mountain folks, I would be very excited with the upcoming potential. I have a son at Appalachian State and I told him to watch out for late next week and onwards.

Tarheel17 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I'm just glad to get back to seasonable temperatures and humidity. 70's or higher and high humidity is expected for half of the year here, so I can't stand it when it happens during the other half.
