Jan Medium/Long Range Disco: Winter is coming

Recommended Posts

An event around MLK day has been on my radar for a few days....the period after that  also looks favorable for below normal temps with an active stream.  With the way the past few winters have gone id much prefer suppression risk  over having to worry about temps.  A couple inches along with a period of below normal temps would do a lot for morale around here.

After the past 7 years, a couple inches and cold weather in a Nino in late January is probably going to lower morale even more than it already is

Next tuesdays cutter sets the thermal boundary for any follow up waves. GGEM makes that boundary much more favorable and has been consistently more friendly than the gfs. But gfs isn’t too far off… Late next week is still a time to watch closely.

It's cool wxluvr - not specifically giving you the business but it is the posting style of a bunch of people in this thread to take a 10+ day map and say "if we-change-a-few-things-it's-Dubai-in-three-weeks" kinda stuff that's all. It's kinda funny taking the long view. And if you read enough of those posts etc. Peace, friend.

All good. Wasn’t being snappy. I just took one look at that thing and said whoa. But you’re right, one could easily say modify this a little and it’s game on.

I see eventual anafront/overrunning chances in that....I also see dead people.  

Yes! Was going to mention that’s an anafrontal setup if altered a little bit. Didn’t want to get trolled too much lol

And to those saying stop analyzing day 10 maps. I know it’s 10 days, but you can still get a an idea that you might have a storm threat in the range. I like to see OPs show a path to victory ina given pattern. Storms never really pop out of nowhere. We’ve been tracking Saturday’s storm for over 240 hours

It's astonishing how advanced the modeling is these days, sniffing out storms 3 WEEKS in advance.

Lol. If you don’t see danger in these maps then I guess rock on. I’m just commenting on the map shown. 10 day maps are useless.

But why take a snapshot of one point in time and make a sweeping generalization about how things could go to hell? Roll that 500 look forward and you have the TPV pinched under that massive block with a piece of energy ejecting out under it from the southwest...and it's cold.

There's no reason to think that a strong Nino will result in a SE ridge that would blast us with warm air and kill our snow chances during prime climo.

I didn’t post it. I only commented on what was posted

Mild just 3 days then cold, if going by that op run

This is the kind of warminista cherry picking that really grinds my gears. A lot of that goes on in the NYC forum (not naming names)
