poolz1 Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 @frd Things definitely look to be shifting around. The stagnant +heights and +temp anoms at 50mb over N Canada looks to get shoved east. I really have no idea what to expect but check this out...certainly fantasy range but the FV3 has been hinting at a new warming at the end of the run. Looks to originate in Northern Africa...same place this current warming started. Wait and see if it has legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthArlington101 Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 12z GFS also says nope on the anafrontal stuff. Looks like it might try again with a follow-up storm though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulyFromPlattsburgh Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 I have not seen a high that strong in a while. 1045. Upper level low in Texas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaydreb Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 GFS has a Friday the 13th “storm”. Snow into DCA early Friday AM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is also what HM mentioned two days ago, and it is still in the forecast currently moving forward. It makes more sense for the initiating ridge breaking to be on this side considering the much larger area of ocean relative to land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scraff Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Gladly will trade in a weak anafrontal wave for a Friday the 13th storm. Last week that was the one we were all focused on anyway. Let’s revisit that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthArlington101 Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 The GEFS is 100% out on the anafrontal chance. Couple members look okay for Friday. Not a single flush hit in the mix. Based on the weird snow map depiction I'd wager that a lot of the storms shown on the GEFS are mix-y. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don S seems to think the talk about this potential split is talked about incorrectly by some on social media. I assume based on his post that he does not agree with BAMMWX, since they only focused on 50 mb. He also mentions a continuation of a +AO regime by the GEFS. . I bring you his post over from 33. from Don: << Bad information about an imminent polar vortex split is circulating on Social Media. Even at the 50 mb level there is no split. Further, a true split happens at more than a single layer of the stratosphere. Not surprisingly, the GEFS forecasts the continuation of a general AO+ regime.

MillvilleWx Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 The stark differences at H5 on the Euro and GFS just show how volatile this pattern is. So many shortwaves to key on, both in the southern and northern stream. It's going to be a pattern where answers will not be made until inside 4 days, and even then there could be some sharp shifts up to lead time. GFS is more amped in the northern stream for Tuesday/Wednesday with a progressive southern wave traversing the southern plains into the Mississippi Valley. A trailing shortwave over the Inter-mountain west dives south and phases on the backside of the southern disturbance and gains a neutral tilt over the Tenn Valley. Regional difluence on the leading edge of the trough provides a good signature for enhanced lift over the southern Mid-Atlantic, bringing a solid moisture field into a cold antecedent airmass with 1040+ surface high over northern New England. Those are the GFS details parsing with some winter precip in the mix. Now for the Euro, it's a short and sweet reason of why it fails. Sheared northern stream energy coupled with southern wave closing off and drifting into the Bay of Campeche. No phasing streams, progressive flow, and lead southern shortwave early in the week is the main feature the Euro keys on for precip development next weekend. It's a completely different look and both solutions could have merit in the setup. Wednesday is tight. The models did bring in the front quicker yesterday compared to previous days, but now we're seeing the depth of the cold push, in latitude, being pushed back, which might hinder the prospects for snowfall, unless we get an energetic trailing piece along the boundary. Models have diverged away from that for the time being, so you're seeing a flat look with cold chasing precip. That's not historically how the area scores, but it's not impossible. Need to see models comeback to a more aggressive cold push imo. That way we can see a sharpening baroclinic ribbon and better chance for frozen to the NW side of the boundary. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AO looks pretty neutral to me in the LR on the ensembles. Maybe slightly +, but trending less positive than it is in the short term. Seeing some hints here and there of heights building in the HL region as well, but who knows how it all shakes out at this point. One thing I like is, regardless of what models seem to advertise at h5, ground truth reality at verification is we are pretty consistently staying seasonably cold. That's a good thing IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good thing IMO. I guess, but one never knows. Just because we were lucky so far does not mean it will last. I agree we have more than often verified seasonal to cold and avoided a torch period, so far. I however, can not shake Isotherm's view and a couple in his clan regarding tropical forcing/glamm/MT /AAM/ a stubborn PV, an ineffective QBO, etc. If correct, ( Tom ) we end this month warm and start Jan warm as well, with likely little snow. Yeah, Ok, it is December but if his view is correct it will take weeks to get to a better pattern. The -EPO not looking as good, AO and NAO not looking good, etc. Again two camps, seasonal December maybe a little below normal , and the other whom if correct with their insights, we warm as the HL turn to crud and we run the warm MJO phases or simply stagnant in the warm phase(s) along with possible consequences from the standing wave yet again.

PhineasC Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Why worry about it? These predictions beyond 3-4 weeks are barely better than coin flips. The first two weeks of December were supposed to be warm we were told in November. So far, it's been mostly overcast and chilly/windy around these parts, very typical December weather. And warm/wet followed by cold/dry is a cycle we get here every single winter several times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
