USCAPEWEATHERAF Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Man I hope we get some snow before Christmas. I really like the +PNA pattern we are going into, should favor an earlier phase and a further south phase near the benchmark more so than in the Maritimes. The GFS has been siding with the EURO on a later phase, let's see what the NAM says tomorrow at the 12z cycle, it will be in range by then.

Truth be told I'm not sold on a gradient pattern, GEFS don't really see that and it would be very unusual to have it during a Nino. But if there is one, then it could just as easily torch those further north especially if the troughing sets up out west. I'd be comfortable if I lived in VT or ME. Not gonna lie, this reads like someone is trying to find anyway not to have SNE snow... "I don't see the gradient pattern but if it's there then go to NNE."

moneypitmike Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Looks like a PWS by Pit2 scored a 0.1*. Close but no cigar. Pretty good considering no snow on the ground and on the water. As patchy as the snow cover is here at Pit1, I wonder if we might hold on through the mild-up. GFS suggests we might. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 I'm really amazed at this non-nino look. It's not just a flash in the pan either. It looks like the ridge may retro due a dateline position which is definitely nina like. It also means we may be playing with fire. definitely may turn into a latitude deal. I just hope that ridge doesn't retro too far west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 I'll take 6z GFS for Christmas please. I mean these runs are incredible. I thought this was a slam dunk for a 1-2" torching cutter and now we might see like a tenth or two of rain followed by accumulating snow on Monday into Tuesday? The season that keeps finding a way to go cold and snowy since October. FV3 GFS at 6z is a holiday miracle for many in New England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Euro wants none of the GFS next week and it seems like the 6z took a step in the direction. Still time for that, but right now I wouldn't expect much at all. At least we thaw out for a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Model huggers are struggling right now because the EPS, which was dumping the trough into the SW is now leaning away from that. It is changing and once it gets to where those who have nailed the pattern have said it will. There will not be a southeast ridge and the gradient talk will be all gone, just like the two week torch pattern is now called a few day thaw. Model huggers are struggling right now. Going to be a tough few weeks for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 It appeared to me the Euro trended NW slightly ... the last four cycles of that model have done so - the trend I think ... for how little that's worth.. heh ... we are not likely to see a much better phase than we are already seeing? But, we could still pick up a wishy-washy ICON type deal out of this - more below. Firstly, the previous Euro trough handling, and it's pallid surface reflection, were all due east of the Carolinas, as little as two day's worth of cycles ago. As of last night, it clips CC ... So the trend is clad. Forgetting the Euro for a moment ... the flow is probably too fast to really allow a proficient phase. Stranger things have probably happened... but that speed means less time for the N/stream to get involved and bypasses. However, the larger scaled synoptic circulation gets a little steeper in a scenario where the rising PNA means more backside western ridge correction - and it can be subtle. To summarize ... the best possibility to get cold rain to maybe flip to some Holiday spirit would be for the southern stream quasi closed low/deep layer trajectory to work around a more N motion along the eastern seaboard, if 'perhaps' related to PNA adjustment. The GFS seems to already want to do this to some degree with ( ) some lesser dependable model types biting hard. Long shot but the only shot... By the way, that parallel GFS run was a down right Holiday dream for N of NYC ... There's three snows between early on the 23rd through early on the 26th... with blue air flurries in between Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorEastermass128 Posted December 13, 2018 Author Share Posted December 13, 2018 Somebody dig up Will's summation post from yesterday. It's all going according to plan. The pattern is currently hostile for snow...doesn't mean we can't sneak an event in this hostile pattern. The pattern becomes more favorable after 12/25. If the cold dumps into the Plains initially, the EC risks a cutter around the 12/25 change period. Thereafter, we should get more chances. That sound about right??

EastonSN+ Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 The MJO looks to "stall" in a warm phase per below. Is this possible? AO and NAO look good, but the PNA looks to move negative in the longer range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not if you did your homework.....this is a meager el nino, so December RNA is not at all unexpected....will it become a seasonal fixture, probably not....but it is what it is. Enjoy the gradient.

You beloved EPS keep dumping a trough into the SW in the 15 day period than back off as it moves up in time. Did it again last night. Sorry you can’t admit that but hug away. Many ensemble members run storms up the coast and have no gradient look unless you want to call east vs west a gradient. And while all this is going on the PV is getting attacked daily and how that plays out will be the deciding factor on late December and early January.
