A wound up coastal doesn't need to be that far from the coast. The problem on that run is that it redevelops a bit too late for our area and buries 40N. Get an earlier transfer and it's a MECS for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osfan24 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 So much for having nothing to track after tomorrow. I'm almost ready to just toss tomorrow and start focusing on the end of February and early March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psuhoffman Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Just for fun... but until guidance gets a better handle on this I wouldn't trust any op run. The idea of a storm there (where CAPE targeted) is just coming into focus now. Long range suddenly looks really interesting again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For MBY that track needs to be a bit more East a bit. Favor a further South track too and then a turn up. Looks like late Feb and early March will be interesting. Boston back in the game soon. This is at the beginning of the better window, cough cough. I think it is too early yet to be confident about this period, late Feb. But, nice seeing the Euro support the GFS, GEFS and the MJO progression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was snowcover until March 22nd. That is the most extreme stretch of snow/cold we have ever seen in March but history says it is possible. Whoa. Now that would satisfy me.

It even develops a decent ridge bridge then breaks it down but why trust was it dies day 15 anyways. I love that significant improvement are happening inside day 10 all of a sudden.

Fozz Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 We get snow in March every now and then, but how often do we get a legit stretch of deep winter in that month? With the sun angle and average high in the 50s, it's not easy... but somehow March 1960 was able to pull it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast NPZ Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 We cant get a 9 day stretch of sub-freezing temps in mid January anymore, much less March. Not to mention back-to-back-to-back snows. That's just amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frd Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Was a great event looking at the records. Huge expanse of snow cover, very cold and bombing out off the coast. March 2 - 4 1960 Snowfall amounts with this late season nor'easter ranged from six inches along the Ohio River to a foot in the mountains. Higher elevation in the central West Virginia Mountains topped 20 inches. This was the third highest average snow producing Nor'easter. It was precluded by surface high pressure over the mid Atlantic on the 2nd, while a second high pressure built into the northern plains. The high pressure over the mid-Atlantic was stubborn and was not initially displaced by a developing low pressure across Mississippi and Alabama area. The high was shoved aside by 00Z on the 3rd when the surface cyclone in the Gulf Coast states headed northeast. With the close proximity between the high and low pressure, a strong pressure gradient developed bringing windy conditions to West Virginia. Coastal cyclogenesis commenced off the Carolina coastline between 00Z and 12Z on the 3rd. The coastal low raced up the eastern seaboard reaching the Jersey shoreline by the evening of the 3rd. The coastal low deepened 45mb in 30hrs from 6Z on the 3rd to 12Z on the 4th. The minimum central pressure fell to 960mb off New England. As the surface low hugged the eastern seaboard, the occluded low traversed up the windward side of the Appalachians. As the surface low passed east of the southern Appalachians, an inverted trough of low pressure developed that focused moderate to heavier snow in the mountains. The 850mb analysis was most interesting. A low initiated in the southern high plains then intensified rapidly across Texas due to a low level jet. By 00Z on the 3rd, the low became cut off in the vicinity of Memphis, TN. Height falls upstream of the low allowed a continued northeast propagation through March 3rd into the 4th. The 850mb moved from southwestern Tennessee to Roanoke, VAin a span of 12 hours, which correlated well with the swift movement of the surface cyclone. Strong cyclonic flow on the backside of the system kept snow going in the West Virginia Mountains. As the 850mb low passed south and east of the West Virginia, 850mb temperatures remained between 0C to -5C, which kept the thermal profile conducive for snow. A negatively tilted 500mb trough strengthened as it ejected out of the Rockies. Meanwhile an upper level jet deepened as the trough propagated eastward across the Gulf Coast states on the 2nd and 3rd. A cut off low developed on the evening of the third over the eastern Great Lakes. The upper low then moved into the Atlantic and intensified further, while yet another low dove into the elongated trough axis that extended from the western Great Lakes to the New England.

AfewUniversesBelowNormal Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 The Euro storm looks good. No KU's this year though. It's kind of disappointing because the pattern in October-November was so favorable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Smith Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 The best storm of the winter will probably come around 10th to 15th of March. Just a hunch based on the pattern we have now translating into a deeper mid-continent trough once it finally shifts away from the west coast. Although there's currently lots of cold air in good places to your north, that other feature of arctic air diving south into Arizona and New Mexico is bound to produce lows heading northeast from Texas. Like the current one, the best they can do is give a front-end thump. Get one of these fat boys to form further east and head up the east coast, and you've got yourselves a HECS. Thinking March will deliver that potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
