JMA on board as well...a bit faster tho. Over a week out, but a decent signal at this range for something to track. Few timing changes and an op bomb away from the board coming to life. Eta: seriously tho @RedSky, how can u write this off already? Or r u just trying to open discussion? Genuinely curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTA66 Posted December 12, 2021 Author Share Posted December 12, 2021 Nothing like the day after a mid-December cold front passage, my temp struggled to reach a high of 50F And sign me up Ralph, I believe in Festivus miracles! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels too rushed a reversal from the Pacific dominated pattern to get significant snow. If the blocking is real I would guess closer to New Years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that event on the 20-21 has some front end potential, but besides that I think it's a better setup for NNE. 50/50 doesn't seem to be in perfect position...I think we'll get a storm in 1-10th time frame as long as we don't get some insane -PNA on roids Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph Wiggum Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 All major global models on board still for a trackable event centered around the 22nd. Doesn't look like a blockbuster but a small window is there to give parts of the region some snow. Originally posted back in mid Nov that around Jan 4 would be the first respectable event of the season. Perhaps things are being rushed to the pattern change/MJO phase transition? Keeping a close eye on it for now. CMC/JMA most aggressive followed by GFS and Euro. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Iceman Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 20-21st seems more like a N and W event imo. Looks like a classic rain along 95 with snow in upper bucks/lehigh. No high to keep the cold air in place along the coastal plain. But if the long range looks verify, late dec/early jan should be VERY fun. I know this is an OP look, but this is a great pattern even though we may be risking suppression. Obviously would like to see the ridge in the west pop a bit more but that is a strong -EPO/-AO/-NAO look. Has some ensemble support too but the ensembles still hold on to the -PNA which throws a wrench in things but would still be more white than wet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing Alaska like that is great You would need the PNA to be negative if the NAO is also negative and AO also. You don't want suppression.

Oddly enough the EPS kill the GLL and focus (weakly) on the progressive coastal low where other guidance is trying to anchor a low in the GL region. Still some time for changes and the signal is still there but the window remains small and the signal remains weak. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall this is depicting a N and W or even central PA hit. Ocean temps off of NJ above normal. Coastal plain to fall line at least would have issues based on that. But alas, just another solution about a week out still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph Wiggum Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Looks like the system for early next week fell victim to the Nina. Fell apart on the ens and streams stay separate, no phase...Southern wave slides out to sea. However, several of the EPS members are showing a Christmas Eve miracle setup. So there's that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
