Bob Chill Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 33 minutes ago, Maestrobjwa said: Oh I know all too well that randomness can screw up a great setup--just some years have better "luck"...and unfortunately, ya can't forecast that! Our area is a numbers game. Our climo is so-so in general so we need more chances than folks north of us. We typically need 3-4 legit chances for each event that delivers. So far we've only had 2 legit chances but we did score on the first one. My definition of a legit chance is one that shows promise at d5-6. Anything further out in time than 6 days is a fantasy. I personally don't get invested in any one threat until we cross 120 hours out and never really feel confident until we get inside of 72 hours. Getting mad at a fantasy storm that goes poof outside of 6 days is bad practice in these parts. If you look on the bright side, there's practically no chance we get anything for more than 10 days. Enjoy the holiday undistracted and without emotion with winter wx. Things are looking about as good as they can for January turning favorable.

AfewUniversesBelowNormal Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Anyway.. this is a Stratosphere warming signal in -AO, why I think the "warm by a long shot storm" could trend colder.

psuhoffman Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Happy happy delivers. Everyone leave a nice tip please. @Bob Chill really nice snow mean on the weeklies. It's hard to get a much over climo look on the mean. Take a look at the last 10 days of the euro control on the weeklies. Especially the last 48 hours. You might want to be alone when you do!

Random Chaos Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 I did like the look of the upper levels and temps after the 15th better on the weeklies - but maybe we can squeak one out first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fozz Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 According to the fantasy run, temps also fall to the single digits the following night, with highs in the 20s for the next few days afterwards. It sure would make for a great period of deep winter to start 2019. It's nice to fantasize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not if it was truly the fully phased monster that run shows. Would be extremely tightly wound. Heights are crashing over us. Great h5 pass. 1993 tracked up well inside the coast yet places not that far west of 95 stayed mostly snow. We aren't used to that at this latitude but it's more common to our north. But this is all just for fun. It's beyond crazy fantasy range. If a storm like that ended up within 250 miles of where this run shows it that would still be an amazing achievement for the Fv3.
