Sounding like they are core and without them we cannot count on other indices to pull us through. The MJO is forecast to get into the cold phases, but the models seem to keep a SE ridge. Either they are wrong, or the MJO has become irrelevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like an early spring If the climatic trend continues the peach crop will eventually be impacted by not enough chill hours to produce fruit. Some southern areas have had issues with this in the last few years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the first half of December the pattern has been horrendous and I wouldn't expect that to change at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshM Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Since we have nothing else to talk about, thought I'd mentioned the Canadian for next week. Maybe it'll sniff out this wedge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WSchew Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 FV3 continues it’s med range cold wedge bias. It has a similar precip setup next Tues, but the HP is much weaker at onset (1038 vs 1026-ish). Regular ol’ GFS has something there too, more of a slider look but with cold air trying to ooze over the mts rather than a CAD signature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frazdaddy Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 FV3 toyed with it and another for the 21-22 at 6z. So we have hints from the Euro, Fv3, GFS and the Canadian that something could be up around the 20/21 timeframe. We shall see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WSchew Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Looks to be two systems around 2/19-2/22. The first one could *potentially* establish lower heights, allow HP to build over NE and leave a frontal boundary in the gulf. System 2 develops along the boundary then we have miller A vs. B. What could wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What could wrong? Yep, more ice would fall with the second system. Lots could go wrong with this setup, but I'm glad to see the potential. We're getting to the end of the season and need to see something materialize very soon. This is at hour 240 (with ice still occurring): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven_1974 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 I'm fine with the map fizzling out if all it ends up is showing a massive amount of ice here which would be devastating. No one needs that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people scoff at the Old Farmers Almanac but they've done better than most for this season - no disrespect to the bustees - it's definitely an art more than a science still. Yeah all the "certainty" and general bullish calls is certainly apart of why. I'm a realist and know what to actually expect...which in general is worst case scenario but one would think given all the bullish calls, it wouldn't have been this bad. 4 hours ago, Iceagewhereartthou said: I feel like we've seen a ton of these maps this year and, well...we know what happens. Even verbatim, this would do nothing for I-85; this is all west of apps/ north of I-40 stuff. Was wondering if it was just me but as I said this the other day, i don't think i've ever seen so many fictional cad/winter events in the long range than i have this year.....yet none of them have actually materialized which is quite remarkable. That has helped in adding to my frustration of this year too. It's nothing new to see fantasy storms never materialize but damn....You would think that at least ONE of the 100 that have been shown the past two months would actually verify. 1 hour ago, WSchew said: Someone please drop some ensemble maps in lieu of the clowns above.
