Loving the trends though. My biggest concern all along (other than the pattern change not happening at all ) is that the cold and snow may stay west of the Apps, and I still think that is a distinct possibility. If so, it could be an incredible pattern for I-75 West, and I-40 North, but leave the rest of us out in the rain. That would stink out loud, so hope it doesn't happen. Hard to ask for more than a cold outlook with multiple disturbances for the 7-28 day outlook though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats howl at the moon stuff tonight. Hopefully we dont find a way to train wreck it over the next few weeks. I asked Anthony (HM) about him seemingly predicting the upcoming polar blocking. Obviously, the Euro Weeklies and other weeklies are showing it, but it's nice to see that he feels there are legit physical mechanisms for the blocking. So when he says momentum loss, my interpretation is that he is referring to typical strong westerly flow in the upper atmosphere and stratosphere slowing down (post-SSW effect and other processes I'm sure), which opens the door for waviness in the flow and blocking. Also, he mentions typical Nino trough/ridge positioning to go along with the blocked flow (western ridge / eastern trough). 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course we only had 3channels,12 2 and 8, to watch to see if and when winter weather was coming. 12 and 2 always went on the low side so I would go with channel 8 and hope for he was right. 12 and 2 would say 1-3. And channel 8 would say 2-4. Loved it when they came out and bumped the totals up. Frank Deal was on channel 8 and he was great at forecasting winter storm. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't know that I would never see a snowy winter like that again. Same applies to 1977 for the cold.

That’s a fun little factoid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved his enthusiasm for weather, and I felt like he really influenced the other young mets that worked for him in the late 80's/early 90's. One of those was Van Denton, who obviously took over after he retired. The other was a young Eric Chilton, who went on to become the head met at WFMY. I'm not sure if WGHP was just as good as WFMY was back in those days--despite what the ratings might have been. Also, RIP Frank Deal. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowDawg Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Well despite the GFS losing the storm at 0z, it seems it actually gained support in the ensembles. 1st pic is 18z ensembles and 2nd is 0z, pretty substantial increase. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His jokes were so corny, but he was such a likable guy and loved winter weather. Couldn’t wait till the weather came on. Randy Jackson wasn’t nearly as enjoyable to watch, IMO, but I’m sure he was pretty good. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frazdaddy Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Looking at the last two days of model runs. I am struck by the way we have a steady diet of very close near misses in the long range. No way that timing works out as modeled. If the runs were modeling major fantasy snow we would all be sure it would change as it gets closer and it would. We are going to get snowed on folks. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely anything making it down to the gulf would stay surpressed in this scenario. But with the right timing we can catch LPs riding underneath the retreating PV. We just dont get snow here when it is that cold. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wncsnow Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 The biggest threat in the next 10 days is flooding. GFS and Euro show over 4 inches for escarpment areas. Lots of SE flow ahead of the low pressures pumping in the moisture to an already saturated area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
