West to east type wave as blocking relaxes some. Way too far out but it’s there. Remarkably similar on both ensembles The big ones are sniffed out early but damn not this early. We must be getting 4 feet of snow on the 25th. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

March 2004 maybe? 2005 you are thinking of but...we did get 2 snowstorms from that pattern in late February and early March. Both were 3-6” type deals. It was mostly dry after and I would agree it underperformed potential but it wasn’t a shutout and it was March which always is more challenging. We’re talking prime climo here! ETA; that block was more east based also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same thing last 24 months, cutter, coastal hugger or inland runner. The para has that 240 time frame as well as the euro showing a low somewhere in the vicinity of the Tennessee valley and the gulf. So, that’s a good sign considering gfs-reg and gem have a signal there too 19 minutes ago, psuhoffman said: EPS has a big signal for that range around Jan 25-26. So does the gefs.

I think the ensemble guidance is starting to converge on the blocking and building heights out west. I’m starting to be intrigued now. I never bought this early pattern development with the PAC look at western pac ridge. Now signs of epo ridge and west based block... I’m seeing a light around Jan 22-31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take my chances with a 50/50, blocking, and lower anomaly pressures in the heart of climo any day.

But if you look at the intensity of the western ridge and the low heights off in the eastern Atlantic, those are strong signals (and means as well) for those features to be present in 13 days. Means work both ways, and the strength of those mean features is stronger this more reliable, imo to come to fruition then a barely present mean low look in the souther tier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you read my previous posts I said that I liked the overall “futuristic” setup in the LR. I was pointing out that the mean heights in the southern tier, even for an resemble mean, was not highly suggestive. Which that look could change too. I never said it won’t happen or isn’t going to happen. Simply look at the strong features on the map. That wasn’t one of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 You don’t need some 985mb low to get snow. Overrunning typically has weak ass lows that have a bunch of moisture. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m making the point, PSU, that the 318 ensemble mean low heights in the gulf are great, awesome, but I’ve seen maps where there is a stronger signal there. That’s all I’m saying. Geeze, you guys are wound too tight right now. We also ALL KNOW that it probably WONT happen anyways, so my point is even more valid. Yea, the look is great but we’ve also said that 646,876,239 times in the past month and what do we have to show for it. Ive have seen lower (and darker) blue down there before — would you disagree?

I never said they should look the same as those features I was just making the point that those dominant atmospheric features (which are more constant, yes) shows in the mean. A slight mean pressure down south that represents are little blue area could simply just be a blip from one ensemble run to the next, which guess what, (earth shattering news coming) it probably is just a blip! So relax. Differing opinions are ok, and realize there HAVE been stronger long range, mslp ensemble looks down in the gulf. NEVER said once that this particular look wasn’t good, just said it’s not a strong signal. Why are we still talking about this? It’s all minutia anyways and pure speculation 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
