This is how a "block" becomes ineffective. Yea but my point was why are mid latitude ridges becoming so strong that the last several times we had a -NAO we had this issue with a mid lat ridge pumping all the way north far enough to link with the block. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure this thing could cut to Minneapolis or slide to Bermuda. But that is the song and dance for most trackable events around here.

It should be easier. I hear you. But even in the best setups, we still need some luck. I don’t think we need a lot to go right to hit this one big. Sometimes we are hoping for a miracle. Right now we just need the models to key in on a canonical look and get locked in! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nj2va Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 18z Euro is basically unchanged at 500 through H57. eta: through 75, NS SS is slightly stronger. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think it would make things a little easier. I know there's more to it but seems like if 1 thing doesn't line up.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said the other day, it will be interesting to see how this goes if we have a moderate Nino next winter. We usually see HL blocking and it has historically brought us more snow than avg in conjunction with an active STJ. If that combo can't work anymore then its time to move north I guess. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terpeast Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 Feature to watch is the s/w riding over the alaska block (circled yellow) If it stays strong and sharp, then we get a good solution per gfs. If it flattens and shears out like the 12z euro, we lose the storm. Butterfly effect. 6 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nj2va Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 here’s WPC day 6 and 7: disco: The early part of the updated forecast started with a 06Z/00Z model composite with most weight on the 00Z ECMWF and least on the UKMET. Then the blend transitioned to greater emphasis on the 00Z ECMWF mean, last two ECMWF runs, and 00Z CMC/CMC mean with only modest incorporation of the 06Z GFS/GEFS mean. This solution led to the best continuity possible given the guidance spread. The new 12Z runs suggest that the "most likely" scenario could well change, depending on how the remainder of the 12Z ensemble suite turns out.
