Met1985 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Yeah hedging or getting excited about one run from any model is a huge mistake and has been all winter. Say what you will but the euro is struggling. Literally a 20 to 30 degree change for one area in just one run. The GFS has been a bit more consistent recently. That being said like some of the mets have already said, there are a lot of variables that are going into what is what... You have the MJO, the PV, all the blocking from one end of the globe to the other. The complexity in which current and future weather patterns are based on are line walking on a tight rope currently. You could go either way. That's why the whole norms of winter are not norms of this winter so far. Ive seen a lot of the pattern will relaxe, or the pattern is ripe when truly we have been stuck in between both so far. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are not going to like the snow maps or precip depictions but there’s a lot of potential showing up still. I think a CAD event, or multiple, seem probable in the coming period.

Of course the models aren’t going to be consistent. They’re missing half their data. This is true. If they had all the data they would be inconsistent in a completely different way. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highs in the teens, lows below zero here on Friday. I'll do my part for the forum but somebody else needs to figure out the QPF.

Who the hell knows whats going to happen 18Z GEFS was also a bummer. A ~6 F jump in average temperature at 1 pm from the 18Z yesterday in central NC . The big cold was completely lost. So I am assuming that the PV must be in the west this run. That PV is driving me insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wncsnow Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 The Pacific is too active and not enough ridging out west. This allows the SE ridge to flex. We have cold air spilling into the southern plains instead. It has been the problem all winter. We have had the best Atlantic setup in a decade but it has basically been canceled out due to the Pacific. I think having the -NAO it has allowed us a little snow this winter. If we didn't have the -NAO/AO, we would have most likely torched Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
