weatherwiz Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Even if we flip to a weak EL Nino next fall, due to the ocean-atmosphere lag it's still probably going to take quite a while for the atmosphere to respond accordingly. So the oceanic state could reflect that of a [weak] Nino, however, the atmosphere could still be more Nina-like. Now that doesn't mean anything bad, it's just for awareness purposes. The atmosphere doesn't respond to oceanic changes right away. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recall what was frcst this week during last week's discussions here, but the airmass totally retreated. I don't remember the last time where the intrusion of a colder airmass that was modeled to last several days, totally retreated within days leading up to it. I'm sure someone will provide some dates This is what guidance last week generally looked like prior to the end-of-week storm....you can see the PV lobe trapped in SE Canada just to our north. That's a cold look here. That obviously didn't materialize. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 The cold is really centered to our SW. Areas from Like AR,TN,KY,GA etc are going to be very cold from an anomaly standpoint. Maybe even challenging records. Our delivery sucks here, but it will be plenty cold this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't say the pattern sucked....he said the wx had sucked up to that point and the model guidance was temporarily taking away the 1/26 storm due to the 1/24 system getting instead of being wide right....so Scooter had a nice melt telling James the 1/26 storm ain't happening. But the pattern always looked pretty good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 The only thing that aggravated me that winter was 3/5/15. The Bruce Willis event. That irked me...but I know I really have no business complaining. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jan 26, 2015 phasing mechanics was amazing to watch on that storm....basically backed the thing in from Bermuda (ok, that's hyperbole, but still...I think it was SE and E of the benchmark and then backed up to a position E of the Cape). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only consolation on that one was we saw it coming from a long ways out....we kept telling everyone to ignore the QPF maps and cut off the northern 30-50 miles because of those brutally dry northerly winds in the mid-levels. There were GFS runs that were giving me like 0.5-0.75 and I was expecting almost nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know...I didn't expect much either, but I was getting triggered looking south and literally seeing curtains of snow 15 miles away. Reminded me a bit of watching a distant tstm. It was backlit a bit too with dim sun. That was the rt 44 area getting blitzed. But that was the S coast turn after they missed out on the first two Feb events, so all good I guess.

Ironically, Ray should've been up at his current place back then....he would've gotten into the Ginxy-ORH-495 band in the Jan blizzard and gotten near-jackpot totals in the 2/2 event.

This is some nuts cold out there. Memphis goes from like 50 mid Thursday afternoon to the single digits during the evening. That's pretty ridiculous. Even some of the previous Arctic blasts for them the last few years didn't see a drop as drastic as that. Wind chills there are going to be horrific. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I experienced 4 winter storm warning events - one in SNJ - that verified at 1/8 (or less) of the bottom of the forecast range, ending with the GYX "Valentine's Day Massacre". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
