CT Rain Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 The 00z runs are going to need to jump in a decent way I think or else this is going to turn into a more pedestrian solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 00z is do or die for us on the western fringe. If it doesn't make a sizeable jump, we can toss it in. Central/eastern folks have another few runs in things look crappy. 2.5* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMS: http://glossary.ametsoc.org/wiki/Blizzard Terrain is important... Out in Plains/ Great Lakes regions, the flattish terrain is less impeding on laminar flow, such that air motion is less "gusty" in nature, and you can sustain higher winds closer to the ground. But, we are hillier in terrain around here ... We're far more often to get winter storm warning snow fall rates/visibility, with gusts occasionally limiting further to blizzard proportions, but unlikely to "sustain" that for three straight hours outside of some extremely rare circumstances. The thing is ... who's really qualifying differences if it's 21 F with 3.78" per hour falling for three hours, just because the wind is only 25 mph ... That's choking - these are all just silly rules we invent to categorize things... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon Tip Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 not sure why folks are saying the 00z is "the first" for sampling - the waves are on land and were so starting at 06z ... is there some intel on why we're waiting until 00z ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxeyeNH Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Probably a dumb question but... We all talk about pieces of energy finally coming into areas where they can be sampled better. My memory stinks but for those of you that remember these types of things are there good examples of when models showed more or less one solution and then all of a sudden a piece of energy all gets sampled and ingested and we see a big shift in track?

This is what BOX was saying until the most recent AFD: The lead shortwave will be entering the NW CONUS this morning but second shortwave which is the critical piece in determining the amplification of the Great Lakes trough is still over the Pacific and moving into western Canada this morning. This shortwave will not be well sampled by upper air network until tonight so suspect 00z Tue or 12z Tue model suite will have a better handle on resolving the finer details.

WintersComing Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 agreed, even with a track inside the bench mark meeting criteria would not be guaranteedDon’t really need a blizzard. Thinking 3-6 western areas, 6-12 central and higher east. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
