I need to be a little buzzed to watch my home town team. Ugh ! To clarify, they look a bit on the warm side until the end of January. They also look like the Euro seasonal model runs which depict little high latitude blocking. So, they match the Euro seasonals from Sept and October that forecast little blocking and a not so good pattern for us. I hope that is clearer. To me they look washed out and imply the eps has no clue. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No strong teleconnection signals either. That tells me that inside of the weekly's mean panels are equal distribution of every possible outcome. Lol. Yes, as to my remark they seem washed out.

showmethesnow Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Euro upped the ante for the day 7 period. Kuchera actually shows greater totals for the cities and north I just couldn't get the whole time frame for the whole region using it. Believe it or not though, If this idea of closing off the 500's with the trailing trough is legit there is even more potential upside with the snow map above especially for those in the southern and eastern portions of our region. As it is the blowup we see on the snow from the previous run is directly related to how the trough is handled. We are seeing the trough axis having a more neutral look compared to the somewhat sheared look previously. We are also seeing a quicker closing of the 500's as well. These things are enabling a better feed of moisture into our region. Right now the trough is lagging behind somewhat from the lower pressures we are seeing first in the south and then off the east coast. But if we can see the separation between the two lessened by 1/2 to a day as well as possibly a quicker closing of the trough we probably would see a much more vigorous system or even possibly a 1, 2 punch. ****Actually saw encouraging signs across the board (GFS, GEFS, Euro, EPS) But we are talking seven days away, so...*** 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the advertised pattern there is a ton of potential, and yeah at this range there are just a few options on how this evolves. It's a pretty classic advertised look up top for a MA winter storm, maybe for as far south as NC. Long way to go ofc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showmethesnow Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Probably the biggest reason we are seeing a more favorable trough setup is because of the higher heights showing above it through southern Canada on this latest run. Below is the run over run change from yesterdays 12Z. This helps to create better dig as well as a better turning of the trough axis. The changes with the lower pressures reflect the response we see from the trough from those higher heights. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be pretty awesome if it happens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the advertised look up top, this could get fun, quickly. Again, some of the best "clustering" at this lead so far. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris78 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Looking through the Eps members theres a nice mix off direct hits, misses to the north and misses to the south for next Tuesday. I like seeing those big hits to the south of DC. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, some might be apprehensive after the recent screw job last year in early December. I don't think we would see anything like that weird set-up again this go around. If I recall correctly is was a piece of the vortex rotating and/or a pv streamer that deflected and or prevented the storm from moving further North. This was also the time too of the continuation of the SWE and the I believe there was even large North Atlantic High. I don't recall the specifics, but the after thought was in a typical progression the Northern Mid Atlantic should have been hit by that SECS.

HL blocking that appears to be well-timed may end being the saving grace with this particular threat. Like many of us often allude to, we dont need an anchored blocking look for weeks at a time. Nice window next week for something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heisy Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Regardless if we've cashed in on anything yet, it is clear that we're getting off on the right foot with a bunch of threats to track. Beats the hell out of last year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
