CAPE Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 3 minutes ago, Weather Will said: Today the GFS caved to the EURO. And we are supposed to take its new solution when everyone is saying the GFS just made a thermal adjustment of some kind???? I think this could go either way five days out as it always can, but there is no reason to give the GFS more credence when it is playing catch-up. And when is the Canadian ever correct? Not sure what you are on about here. I focus on the synoptics and the features at the surface and aloft each model cycle, so I guess I see things from a different perspective than you do.

Bob Chill Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 It's maps like these that suck the air out of the room. It's the very beginning of our snow climo and that always requires at least a modest BN temp profile where it counts. Especially when slp is fighting to bring it down into the mix. In mid Jan, marginal or AN mid level temps to our north work fine because it's pretty cold anyways. I'd love to see snow as much as anyone but temps are not an ingredient we skip over too easily 3 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask for Matilda! thanks Many much more classy places to go than Nana. At times it is off-limits to farong (foreigners) and can be a violent place when folks misbehave.

Bob Chill Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 83-84 was a stinker here but 83 featured a nasty arctic outbreak leading into the holidays. Mid-Dec 83 500mb analogs have been popping up regularly last 4-5 days. It did snow a few inches that Dec pre-holiday. From afar, it doesn't look like a huge artic outbreak is ripe but certainly possible. Something to watch. If the epo ridge starts freezing western Canada, it's only a matter of time b4 a lot of cold pushes pretty far south and east. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtlanticWx Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Honestly, I can't believe I'm saying this, but this is one of the nicer setups here in a sense. A lot of our threats are usually thread-the-needle/one phase can mess up the whole storm kind of storm, but this one is just us relying on one trough and its track. Cold is there associated w/ the trough, just need a good track. The better track (06z GFS yesterday/00z Euro) would definitely fare well here.

As you know, the rule of thumb is once the surface low is north of our latitude, the precipitation shuts off in these situations. What could keep it going is lift generated by the 500mb low, which euro does seem to show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol. You know there's something really wrong when a blocked surface low totally ignores the baroclinic zone off the coast because it's impotent. So what's left is a complicated mess both at the surface and upper levels. Our "complicated" batting avg needs a pinch hitter or something So in a word...this came about a couples weeks too early?

Our "complicated" batting avg needs a pinch hitter or something Yeah i can’t get hyped about snow chances with this storm as of yet. Can’t ignore the obvious with Tangier to Kent Island type track. Climo and just too much warm air flooding in. Big ass block can only do so much and if there isn’t help with a decent cold air source then mids win 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be worried about marginal cold air prior to the system and pretty toasty Atlantic Waters and the winds in off the ocean. I do not see how this system is a purely wintery affair the only way is if the whole set up is further east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Still hints of low pressure developing near the gulf for this period. This sort of look could produce a low tracking up along but somewhat off the coast, potentially better for the lowlands. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a pretty strong high to our north with CAD which is usually undermodeled so the cold air at the surface does come from a decent source. But yeah, I don't think we get a purely snow event, but a wintry mix -> snow and maybe some rain is definitely plausible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ji Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Today has been a letdown...stuff looked better when it was getting shredded lol. Hopefully we can get some frozen precip from the event to guarantee a non frozen precip shutout this winter! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you just have a bet the Bay freezes over you don’t actually want the core of that kind of cold centered on top of us. Storms are going to ride the boundary. You want to be on the cold side but not too far. That’s an ideal look Imo. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nj2va Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Tis the season for NAM extrapolation - NAM at the end of the run certainly doesn’t look like it’s about to go the way of yesterday’s GFS runs that basically took a buzz saw to the vort. Looks similar to the globals at 84. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
