RedSky Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 It's dangerous this year to bring up looks like 1994 one of the best ever because next thing you know GFS cuts a storm to Hudson Bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Iceman Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 winter is definitely coming...even if the storm next week is a whiff. MJO is certainly hitting 8-1-2 so we are going to get a favorable period at some point but it may end up being like last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSky Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Best case scenario for next week is hope for something in the 1-3" range from the leading impulse and pull for the big midwest storm to cut so far west it is little more than a front with some rain.

The Iceman Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 GEFS, fv gfs, and ukmet(@144 extrapolating) all look like decent thumps over to mix/rain. We can back off the ledge. Things are still very much in play next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good chance more unicorns are being hunted. MJO being the driver looks good but who is to say Its right? 2 days ago it was traversing the COD back into 5 now it's off the charts 8-1. Complete 180 in 48 hours. I want to buy it but I dont trust it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph Wiggum Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Euro has completely stuck a dagger in the heart for the Tuesday system in classic Doctor No fashion unless you live far N and W. However it has 2 MECS/HECS later in the run. Lucy continues setting us up with the head fakes. This model needs to be taken out back to the shed.

Ralph Wiggum Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Oddly enough the Euro family seems to imply this coming 10 day period will be our window of opportunity while the GFS and even CMC families say nope this period is meh but just wait til past Day 10. EPS pushes back/delays the good looking ATL pattern and even attempts to negate things by completely fizzling out the 50/50 and replacing it with yep you guessed it....the return of the WAR by day 10 (I'm back to trying not going deep into detail beyond day 10 mode again). The GEFS and GEPS stick the 50/50 and hold it thru the end of the run but thru the day 10 anyway they are far apart in how the Atl side evolves. One of these 2 camps (EPS vs GEFS/GEPS) is going to fail miserably. What's more odd is the Euro camp is the one going bonkers over next 10 days then collapses after while the GFS camp is steady and builds a better Atl towards the end of the 10 day stretch (and beyond). Based on this current winter LR history and also Dr No just being Dr No I can already see in my head how the next 2 weeks play out but I wont post my gut feelings on that as that's not how meteo works. I will alternatelt say I dont see how the GEFS can be far off IF their MJO progs are even close to accurate but we've been burned quite a bit already this year.

The Iceman Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 MJO is going to high amp phase 8...i'm not too worried about LR for once. Mon and tues event got more promising overnight. Almost all guidance has a front end thump before any changeover and this isn't taking into account the CAD which won't become evident until we get closer. I'm actually beginning to like this threat. I think there's a solid chance of a 3-6" thump to ice to drizzle then a glacier freeze. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next 10 days snowfall map (majority of that in SEPA from late next week): I was just drooling over these. One can dream. GFS has us getting more next Friday, whereas FV3 has us getting more Tues-wed. I think our best bet is ~8 days out but I'm not much of a met, that's why I like to read these threads. You guys always have interesting input, even if I dont always understand everything. What website do you use to access the euro suite? I've been using tropical tidbits, but something more specific to the northeast or mid-atl would be nice.

Yep nothing has changed for Mon-Tues still looks like a thump to mix drizzle/rain situation which is typical for us and how we get most of our climo snows tbh. Unsure of total amounts right now still depends on CAD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the MJO looks work out and they arent head fakes. Remember just 3 days ago the MJO was hanging in the COD on then re-emerging near phase 5. Did a complete 180. We need to hope this holds. SOI tanking so that's a good sign. I'm not overly enthusiastic until these looks get closer....we are still hoping for a pattern change starting near Day 10. Like in January the best chances could end up being right under our noses in the medium range so for now I'm trying to avoid looking long range and just taking what we can get while we can still get it. Pitchers and catchers in under a week now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope it holds as we get closer but looks like a direct response to the MJO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can have an effect here in SE PA generally N and W of the Del River more specifically the fall line tho. Needless to say areas along the river tend to have the low level cold eroded quicker than areas farther N and W and valleys in and throughout the area. Eta: really depends on if there is a flow around any reflection of a surface low off the coast, the location, and the strength along with HP location and strength to the N or NE of there forcing the cold south thus damming up or getting trapped East of the mountains. Other times I've seen just a narrow wedge right along the mountains so it depends but generally west of the River is how it plays out. I've seen CAD signatures broad enough to extend into S NJ before so very dependent on what I mentioned above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
