The window of best opportunity has been identified for a while now. Most have probably gotten bored with regurgitating/reading the same stuff over and over, or whining about op runs with no blue pixels over their yards. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Scrolling through the p-type panels on the 0z GEFS members between the 16th and the 24th brought a smile to my face. Looking like legit chance(s) somewhere around or just beyond MLK day, which is exactly on schedule with the expected better/colder pattern. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 The 6z GFS op has blue over our yards on the 18th and again on the 21st with a coastal storm, although it is a bit too far SE. Should be seeing more threats pop on the op runs now that we are within 10 days of what is looking like a very favorable period upcoming. 10 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonderdog Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 I'd like to see the ridge out west move to the east for that storm on the 20th. Would help to move me back from the ledge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psuhoffman Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 I’m not going to analyze it or freak out but I’ll just put it out there. The 0z EPS is an unmitigated disaster. It lost the poleward EPO ridge and develops a flat central pac ridge which directs the pac firehouse jet right into the US. There isn’t even any transition because that happens so fast the pattern is wrecked before the next flux of the NAO can even do us any good. It’s just one run. GEFS at 6z still looks good. Just hope it’s wrong. It shows exactly what I said my fear was if the N PAC pattern relaxed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing this is in the uber long range - 10 day+? We would still have a bit of a window if what the EPS is hinting at played out, correct?

If yes then bring it on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is depicting what is typical for Nina though(Pac ridge/western trough), so I have been expecting we would see it at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like the models have been teetering on the edge of that look for days....EPS finally took the bait. All teles on the EPS are trending the wrong way in the very LR. I wonder if the return to a classic base state look is in response to the AO/NAO going neutral or if blocking starts to fade due to the return of the base state look? The response to the SWE and propensity for blocking so far leads me hedge my bet that that look on the EPS gets can kicked for a while. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If true, anyone whomever posts the stupid weeklies should be banned Have you noticed the continuous, almost laughable, repetitive predictable failure of the modeling when it forecast cold or a colder pattern, been happening more and more the last three years, maybe related to the whatever, all I know is modeling can not be trusted and the evolving base state is ruining everything it seems.

The PV voodoo docs seem to favor a reinforcement of the Strat-Trop coupling that has already been established, at least for a time. We are always playing with fire on the Pac side with a Nina.

This years warming event has kept me interested a little longer. But, as you know, any large scale change to a pattern driver has a lag effect too long for me to care much. lol.

But, this is a Nina and who knows, and I bet the QBO has a role as well. But another dive below negative is days away. So guessing another deep dive in the AO may be in the cards. Still no sign of a split but a - NAM state seems probable in cycles. 5 or more days below zero in negative territory forecasted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weather Will Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Teleconnection charts have not looked good in the long range for a couple of days and nothing has looked good inside 10 days for weeks on the ensembles so there should not be a lot of shock in here.

WinterWxLuvr Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Teleconnections don’t look horrible either. AO and NAO trending up but stay neg, PNA trending down but still lean pos. Way too much is put on long range. Too much good and too much bad. All we really need is a return to the Sept to Dec storm track. We get that and we will be fine. The problem is that right as our best temp climo started, the well ran dry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
