NJwx85 Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 I'm a little bit worried about this initial piece which produces the initial surface low that swings East. I think models will struggle on which shortwaves to focus on and we could see some crazy model swings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rjay Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 That lead energy that Yanksfan pointed out is on all the model runs so far today. I'd like to see that phase in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see that phase in. Expand It makes the low slip east just enough where the trough just misses it down in our latitude. Not at all discouraged. The 500mb map was just gorgeous. So close to a triple phaser. Lots of time to track. Lets hope this event doesn't disappear like the last one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm1220 Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 No one should be encouraged or discouraged by anything at this point. Plenty of time for any solution on the table. Hopefully this pattern can amplify and give us something notable. Oftentimes patterns like this with extreme cold go out with a bang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Curious to know what factors lead to amplification besides the PNA, NAO. Is the position of the PV forecasted to shift next week? I believe the MJO is in phase 8, which is favorable for EC storms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enigma Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 It is worth noting the possibility of a last minute, transient block that could set up off Newfoundland. This could save the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yanksfan Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 The March superstorm of 93 was a triple phaser. Another one that comes to mind is the blizzard of 78. Be careful what you wish for though. Triple phasers are basically hyper over amped bombs. Because of that you often see these type of storms hug the coast or become inland runners. The 93 event ended up in Philly. After a foot of snow in my area, it turned into an all out sleet fest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a Maritimes specially usually. Personally I wouldn’t mind a 93 repeat. With all the cold air around and the time of year it wouldn’t be the same storm. We would however change over as the flow rockets off the Gulf Stream it doesn’t really matter how cold the preceding airmass is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Gorilla Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 For now, I am cautiously optimistic and not at all putting weight into individual OP runs, although this is definitely attention grabbing.

donsutherland1 Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 The pattern is one that is filled with potential. That the CMC, GFS, and ECMWF now show the storm, though with differing solutions, is an encouraging thing. Still, it's about a week away, so things can still change.
