GaWx Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Preliminary 12Z Euro maps suggest to me that this run will be more similar to today's non-wintry 0Z than yesterday's wintry runs. Let's see what it ends up showing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in case anyone is wondering lol, the 12Z JMA (which also had a SE wintry threat at 12Z yesterday) joins the other models with a warmer solution and no widespread SE wintry threat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well GW looks like we're back to watching teleconnections. At least the AO and PNA look better today long-range and MJO still looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wncsnow Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 That cold snap we had around Christmas caused more harm to the overall pattern than good. All it did was exhaust the cold source for a few weeks or more. There is some cold air but nothing like back in December. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there some sort of allowance or something for how much cold weather an area can receive during Winter? That cold weather snap in December has nothing to do with what happens the rest of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course there isn't an "allowance" but if you think that didn't have any bearing on the pattern the past week weeks you haven't been paying attention. The bomb low track thorough the Midwest causing the severe cold also broke down the block that formed totally resetting the pattern. Cold builds up and releases. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That cold weather snap in December has nothing to do with what happens the rest of the season. What do you think happens when we have stratospheric warming events? It disrupts the polar vortex and all the cold built up in the arctic and allows it to move south. It may not have a bearing on what will have in February or March but it does for January. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaWx Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 12Z EPS is consistent with the model consensus trend away from a SE winter storm threat during 1/13-15. So, the January of 1933 scenario of warm practically all month surrounding an isolated two day cold that included a big RDU January 13th snow is now looking highly unlikely. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it still look like upslope for the mountains in the EPS. I havent been able to check the snow probs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BornAgain13 Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 And now the 6z GFS has more snow in the mountains and ICE in the Piedmont into Southern VA. Will see if that starts a trend today or if it's just nothing. Sent from my SM-N981U using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyewall Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 It almost looked like a shift toward cutter to me on the 6z GFS. Obviously the hybrid CAD wedge results in an ice event for the western Piedmont/Foothills but this is not what we want to see. Soon enough we will talking about a severe risk (which honestly on the wedge boundaries could already occur in this scenario). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upstate Tiger Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 I can’t Pivotal load. Anyone care to give a short synopsis of next weekend and the long term?

This one looks transient for now though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The euro Weeklies have been progressively getting us colder from late this month through February. The pattern change is on the ensembles now. About 2 weeks out with intermittent cold fronts. With the mjo and the disruption of the pv anything can go. There are signs of the NAO going negative also but as we all know that doesn't mean we will get a storm... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the MJO is in phase 4,5 or 6 during February, then you can forget about it being cold. That is pretty much guaranteed in a La Nina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The end of the last few EPS runs have suggested a redeveloping solid +PNA/cooling SE, but the EPS did that for midmonth and Jan 9-10 and has since backed off of anything sustained. We all have seen this and it is well documented in the forecast threads. The new EPS looks good for potential cold in the SE near 1/21, but we've seen this song and dance before as the Pacific jet has been badly underestimated, quite possibly due to near record Pacific MC SSTs. So, then the EPS backs off. The EPS and others did very well 12/16-27 but that was an exception rather than the rule. Hopefully, ~Jan 21st will be the time for the first sustained pattern change to BN since 12/16-27, but I'm not betting on it at this time. More than likely it will either be just a short cold period or it will back off imho. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, most Niña February's have not been all out torches (that chance is exaggerated) even though that is a realistic possibility. When I say torch, I mean MA or 5+ AN. ~25% were torches at Atlanta. While that's a relatively high % for getting that warm, that still means 3/4 weren't actually torches. The much higher chance (2/3) is for either just A or N. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
