LP08 Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Definitely another tick in the good direction from the euro. Colder and snowier front end. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterWxLuvr Posted February 15, 2021 Author Share Posted February 15, 2021 1 hour ago, CAPE said: There has been more of an emphasis on the lead energy out in front of the main trough on the Euro and Para, which gets the coastal going sooner and further south. The last couple runs of the GFS/GEFS took a pretty big step towards that idea. With the ICON, Euro, UKIE in one camp, I would think the gfs insistence on taking that low basically due north up just west of the apps is wrong.

WinterWxLuvr Posted February 15, 2021 Author Share Posted February 15, 2021 What’s the time for onset on the euro? On pivotal you only get 6 hr increments. I can see it’s sometime between 6 and 12z on Thursday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to be moving towards that camp. This is one thing I have noticed on the Euro and Para- more of a focus on that vorticity max out ahead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterWxLuvr Posted February 15, 2021 Author Share Posted February 15, 2021 Just a couple of days ago it seems that I was reading that winter is over but looking at the temps on the 6z gfs it sure doesn’t seem that way. Also looks now that maybe at least a modified version of the Arctic air gonna be able to make some inroads on our area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 An evolution like the Euro will still rain on the coastal plain given where the coastal low would develop, but the lowlands probably wont avoid that in this set up. Just give me some snow/sleet on the front end and I am good. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pattern looks ok to me going forward, as long as the positive spike in the AO and NAO is temporary. Both the GEFS and EPS have the AO/NAO going negative the last few days of the month and into March. With a significantly -PNA being forecast, we need the blocking.

If anything, it does look like there’s an AN period next week before colder air returns heading into March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subtract an hour or two for areas out west. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueberryfaygo Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 I know that the GFS is not as good the euro wrt to the overall progression.. but it also gives us the most snow...

A -pna -NAO is actually a really good pattern in March. A lot of our March snows featured that look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree,. Success largely hinges on getting some pretty robust blocking though to keep the SE ridge in check. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that matter? A few people said it is not good to be eastern based? Welcome! West based is better. East based can work but it’s less a sure thing. It’s also not static. It will shift around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West is still ideal always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. The pac is finally hot garbage after this week. Luckily it waited until the part of winter when the pac matters the least. Still if it’s going to be that awful we will need the NAO to offset.
