March 2-4th ... first -NAO anchored storm perhaps in years


Typhoon Tip

Correct meif I'm wrong, but the 4 SD NAO block is an added twist....this season has been progressive.

It is an added twist, But hows it working out on some of these runs? It has slowed them down, But it has not kept some of them further south, In the end does it happen? Don't have that answer yet.

That isn't the point....you implied that we shouldn't have expected models to handle the synoptic evolution well because they haven't all season, but I'm not sure why that is relevant since this pattern is so different.

I think with the NAO block its irrelevant, Why would the models handle this any better because there is blocking?

Last day at my job tomorrow before I start my new one on Monday. 

With the euro sometimes following the Ukie, and the ukie being garbage... it’s not worth staying up for it.

Hopefully some good news in the AM... but am not optimistic at all. I think the euro is going to follow the trend of closing off later and flooding us with warmth.

I was just thinking the same thing.

Still a little ways to go. I'd get some sleep. Tomorrow's runs will be very important. We either see the guidance relax back south which would fit with the theme of this threat (seems to be roller coaster of whiffs vs amped runs) or the amped solutions actually become a real trend...if it's the latter then we are prob toast for a major hit.

Theoretically speaking because the flow is not so fast....it hasn't worked out, but that was my line of thinking.

 

Granted, blocks present their own challenges, but to say the models would struggle because they have all season when the pattern is totally different is a fraud rationale.

But that only seems to affect what happens with the s/w when it gets up here where the block is, Out west it comes down to how fast/slow the southern s/w is and how it phases with the northern stream and closes off as it moves east, Every model is handling it different, No different then how most of these systems been handled by modeling all winter, There has been no slam dunks.

Good luck with the new gig.

Euro out at 10:00p.m.--west coast living has it's advantages!

Well we are at 71 pages and its 1150

When i wake up at 830a.m

74 pages or less...euro sucked

75-76....kept decent snow prospects

77 or more...Crush job

 

Ya I look at the post count...if there’s more than a 100 more posts than where we are now...it’s usually good news.  Less than that it’s no good. Gotta remember it’s the  overnight and most are sleeping...so 100 posts is pretty high for the wee hours.

Ok, So do you think the models have handled this better because this pattern is different? I don't.

Just signing in, bad timing for a busy day at work... 

We were right about tossing last night's 0z Euro and the conviction that guidance today would come roaring back north today.

Now it's all about how the secondary dances after it pops off NJ, dictated by trajectory of ULL and blocking. 

Not sure what to expect of Euro tonight: a drastic leap north from 12z is uncharacteristic, but 0z NAM/GFS + RGEM clown territory + UK all trended to rainers. A compromise would be a big hit for SNE.

Regardless, this is such a sensitive setup that I would not nail the coffin for a big hit even if Euro did show a rainer tonight.

Ran through the various NAMs chocolates today: hard to find a consistent theme.

I expected the earlier the stream interactions and closing at H5, the further south the outcome, but really the path of the H5 low after it closes is what dictates the trajectory of the coastal low. 12z (whiffer) closes off after 18z (blockbuster). 6z (big hit) closes off after 0z (rainer). 

All NAM runs pop the secondary somewhere south of LI, and thereafter it dances either over SNE / grazes the south coast / out to the BM depending on interaction with the ULL and blocking. 

The high ceiling and low floor are still all very possible 60 hours away.

Where have you been all winter?  Not that any of us would have gotten more snow based on your analysis but you are a great asset here!

Oh, ok....I understand what you are saying.

Yes, you are right.

My mistake.

Or course not in hindsight....all I meant was that the flow slowing down may make it easier on the models.

Granted it hasn't worked out that way, but its not the same progressive pattern that we have seen all season.

Its almost surreal to me that i got this feeling that the perception is euro is gonna blow balls and bring torching 850's and then maybe a late flip just based on other model trends (for sne) 

For CNE thou i believe they got their best shot to thread the needle this run and see a crushing, esp bc im not sold that closed low gets as far north as Erie,Pa and torches up to Berlin.

 

C'mon euro

You would think it would make a difference theoretically, Not being progressive though, Has not changed any of the other aspects on the models as i mentioned above.

Yes...I have overlooked what goes on before the system reaches the block, actually.

If this storm doesn't work out, it will be because of that...I totally dropped the ball on that.

You are right....a lot goes on before it reaches the block.

Thanks.
