The transition week would be the risk of sw to ne waves. Think the pattern now but shifted south. After that we would be in the more classic pna NAO pattern needing coastal amplification. Hecs hunting as ji would say. I can see a mix of feb 2003 transitioning to March 1958/1960/1962 if i channel my inner JB. Its a damn good run.

I am, of course, across the pond this week so it will happen and I will miss it! I am certain! LOL! I mean, if it comes true! I would be so sad! No help in any analysis - just would be so sad!

If at the end it was a bunch of 1-2” washed away by rain like the last few epo gradient patterns I’ll pass. Same. That's why I'm about to to toss the upcoming threat (unless it becomes snowier as we get closer, of course! ) because it seems messy overall...a sloppy 2-3 inches ain't gonna get me to climo!! Any chance we see a clean snow look by PD weekend? Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frd Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 In regards to the Pac from a very good poster at 33andrain , he knows his stuff. Called for this warm period three weeks ago and right on target, when others stated no way, it is going to be cold. << In other news.... Jet retraction peaks on the 11th. We are going a bit back and forth. Also good news is a tint towards the equator in terms of the STJ. That last week of the month looks pretty good for snowfall chances. The MJO is certainly a big player in that >>>> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris78 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 I count 6 separate snow/mix events on the GFS over the next 16 days. Good times. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph Wiggum Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Fv3 setup is a transfer to a coastal near OBX but again at this range another very workable look/solution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Wiggum Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Both have the 50/50 even tho the setup upstream evolves rather differently. And neither is a hit obviously but at this range the general ideas being tossed around are certainly workable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jebman Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 6 hours ago, Bob Chill said: The battlezone ridge alignment is what delivers multiple qpf events in quick successsion. Much rather have that and deal with mixing than waiting in a mostly cold/dry +pna/-nao regime. Active is far more fun even if it means lots of mixed events. I've had my fill of cold and snowcover this year. Now it's all about piling up numbers. Do i prefer big clean storms with lasting snowpack? Of course but this is the MA and not the NE. Mixed events are our speciality over the years. Let's do this. You're not in the Northeast but you are still gonna get crushed by heavy pure snow later this month. May even happen in March as well. Crushed as in totally annihilated, totally destroyed, everything shuts down for days and days. Good times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psuhoffman Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Ok seriously someone explain to me why if we have... -NAO, 50/50, -epo, -soi, mjo phase 8/1 we can’t get the trough out of the west day 10-15?

The -NAO/50-50 combo will have to be in beast mode to mitigate that and force lower heights over the east. EPS is trying to get it done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is pumping that eastern ridge? What am I missing here? I dug into this a little bit to see if there was something to do with ssts in the GOM or Caribbean that may be driving this feature. Ssts don't show anything *too* crazy outside of some cool blobs in the GOM and a farther west displaced Gulf Stream (this actually aided to fuel another pattern feature this year but for fear of being run out of the country I wont bring it up again). I dont even know if there are forcing values that are recorded outside of the PAC and enso regions but one would think some sort of tropical forcing irt water temps would be toying with the SE ridge feature being this persistent. If forcing (mjo) was driving features upstream them why wouldnt something similar on or close to our side be driving the pattern in the atl?
