Even if the Fri clipper is further north, if we can hang back the Sun energy some more initially, it can offset it. But I agree. It’s not this simple vodoo of “the PV will push this colder”. Stronger system Friday, as long as it doesn't get too amped should help our cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N of RT 2 and W of I-290 is really part of CNE in Winter. You’re gonna get crushed bud. No sucking on exhaust with this qpf glob. Have a lot of wiggle room too so just sit back, open your arms, and smile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baroclinic Zone Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 I do see some positives in the gif I posted. While the PAC side does not look great to me on the trend, you can see the North Atlantic developing a -NAO building south which could make this storm move more easterly if that region can continue to do so.

That building PNA ridge is actually hurting this storm potential right now as modeled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess my thought is that the PV either beats down that ridge or builds SE into that NAO region to offset the PNA ridge developing out west.

Chrisrotary12 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Real talk for a moment......did Tippy write the long range BOX AFD? Looks colder, stormy. Continued poleward sub-tropical contributions per potential temperature along the dynamic tropopause, lately over the N Pacific where volatility / robust classical storm development has ushered warm air, higher heights N of Alaska, beginning to down- shear N-stream energy over N America, potential vorticity anomalies, deeper tropospheric folds. Pattern maintains within 5-day average H5 height ensemble means out through early February with a deep E CONUS H5 trof, negative H85 temperature anomalies. But other noteworthy signals: 1.) Possible downstream traffic build- up, S Greenland H5 ridging, slowing the upstream pattern at one point or another, 2.) How and if the split 50-10 mb polar vortex plays a role, 3.) A forecast re-emerging MJO, phase 4 to 7 for late January, that climatologicaly would contribute to a warmer E CONUS in part due to potential E propagation of sub-tropical Pacific low- level wind anomalies from a weak +ENSO to the CONUS, and 4.) The EC- control continuing to signal strong -AO / -NAO teleconnections for the start of February. Lots of uncertainty, unknowns. Seemingly there`s greater opportunity for deeper storm development in vicinity of New England given the H5 pattern noted above. But reiterating ... cascading gyres equatorward undergoing perturbations, amplification, interactions yield abundant potential outcomes difficult to nail down with certainty. To put it simply, would not expect deterministic forecast models to coalesce and corroborate upon details more precisely until we are closing in on the system, perhaps not until we see the whites of its eyes. Break down details, forecast thinking in the discussion below. Low confidence forecast starting with Friday. Greater weighting towards EC / ECens. */ Discussion ... Wednesday through Thursday... Sweeping cold front late Wednesday into Wednesday night. Attendant continental-polar airmass, mainly a dry passage but can`t rule out the squeeze of some snow shower / flurry activity across the high terrain of the Berkshires. Cold air advection into Thursday morning as winds turning light under mostly clear conditions. While mainly seasonable Wednesday, colder Thursday with morning lows around the single digits forecast. Thursday night through Friday... Snow chagning to rain. Isentropic upslope along 280-290K surfaces. Precipitable waters up to 0.75 inches. Along an open-wave trof axis, maybe spurring secondary low development if 14.12z GFS is correct, front boundaries sweep through providing ample lift beneath weaker ascent. Anticipating light outcomes, onset snow Thursday night then changing to rain. Onset cold quickly eroding as synoptics do not support cold air drainage / maintenance of Thursday`s Arctic air- mass. Maintaining ice within the column, no precip-type issues, will see snow gradually change over to rain with S winds prevailing, warm air ushered N, change over mainly during daylight hours. Thinking a coating to 2 inches, locally higher over the Berkshires, before it erodes and/or melts away. Potential Friday AM commute impacts. Got to watch trends on the attendant shortwave whether if it becomes amplified or not, invoking a secondary low. If that be the case, could see greater outcomes given stronger ascent through the column. Friday night through Saturday... Canadian high pressure carves S. Conditions clear out. Cold air advection proceeds. Arctic air slips back across the region. Dry. Saturday night through Sunday night... A frontal wave, and with that, inherant challenges in regards to the juxtaposition of weak synoptic fields, thermal gradient, and overall outcomes. Wiggles, perturbations, etc., considerable challenges with the forecast. A consensus, heavily weighted with ensemble means, has the weak low center sweeping W to E Just S-offshore of New England. Hardly a closed low above H85, moist-stream focused within the anti- cyclonic warm conveyor belt. One big Baroclinic Leaf with a SW-NE dividing line at the surface between liquid and frozen precip-types, a likely mix in-between given a weak element of pull back of the conveyor belt motions beneath lower heights associated with the positively-tilted trof axis, a warm-air intrusion up around H8. A shift N, a shift S, the spread among guiance, it`ll be awhile before we can really nail down exact and specific outcomes. Low confidence forecast.
