RDRY Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 The northeast vortex on the 29th looks like someone programmed it to block and then follow any storm in its domain. The timing is impeccable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been pining and posting truth-evasive spin ...while troughs through California transit en route to Arizona...have downwind stretched ridging ... in the means, extending from the front range of the Rockies' longitudes, with some 10 or 12 isohypses rising over the bulge... and what? did we actually think there was hope in getting a S/W amplitude in the east ?? this is commiseration - not trolling ... but, all the erstwhile the PNA has technically been positive at CPC ( oh, btw - ) yikes. What happens (then) when next week it plumbs to some -2.5 SD nadir, at the same time.... the NAO relaxes ( thank heaven for that much ..). A rising NAO that in fact goes to +1 at GEFs-CPC, with a 7 to 10 day neggie PNA ...usually lifts the westerlies, and since the exertion comes from the S in the expansion shit's always exerting, that's a constructive interference for warmth I'm afraid. So, the problem I have is that it smacks to me as a huge warm up ...just like when I see a chance of a big storm way out there, the other way ... Sort of synergistically inferred, where the models merely have yet to depict it - I almost sense similarly, that when the NAO decays and the PNA is still passing through that nadir ... we could see the model start doing a February 2018 ridge ... I've been toying with that the past several days - haven't said anything because I'm sure such an insight will garners a captive audience in this social media'sphere LOL Totally agree if the NAO goes bye, bye....which I honestly hope for, regardless.

That's sort of what I'm thinking, in principle ...I mean, only the bat-shit crazed fantasies of an obsessive 22 year-old woman's crush would ever 'count' on 70s and 80s occurring twice in the same decade, in February - ( although this GW ..and we are on a metaphoric 'hockey stick' change ) But the gist of it.

It’s flat as a pancake but basically on its own at this stage. The NAM almost always has a south bias though beyond 48 with any sort of event that resembles a SWFE. It’s been that way since it’s inception or switch over from the ETA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it will be a warm spring, and although blocking may reappear again in March, you aren't getting that 2018 result in a mod la nina peak season IMO....not to mention a W QBO. That happened in 2018 because it was a weak la nina and easterly QBO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthCoastMA Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Yeah. That 29th storm is a monster. Shades of late March 2014..and still 7 days out. The CMC tries to capture it with that lobe in Quebec..and the ridge looks slightly better. But normal caveats 7 day out, and it's still mostly a miss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Also, that first week of February is pretty interesting to me still. You have more of an east based -NAO and some ridging out west. 2/1 looks kind of cutter-ish, but after that one looks more favorable....2/1 is still pretty close to the west-based blocking breaking down though, so it could end up flatter too.

USCAPEWEATHERAF Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 You know what this period reminds me of, not synoptically speaking, but emotional feeling and somewhat storm positioning is the last week of Jan 16 after Jonas and before FEB 08, 2016 struck the region. Remember how intense that system was and how large the circulation was that it got snow into the I95 corridor and points west when the center was 100 miles plus southeast of the benchmark? I got like a foot of snow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
