WxUSAF Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 12 minutes ago, brooklynwx99 said: look, give me a bowling ball, a juiced STJ, and confluence in a strong Nino February and it can be worked out A couple days ago I said it wasn’t a HECS pattern, and while I still think it’s not, a few smallish changes definitely open the door to a MECS. More westward position of the central Canada ride with a poleward orientation plus the ULL in the 50/50 position. Devil is in timing and location of those features. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psuhoffman Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 4 minutes ago, Terpeast said: Yeah, we just need part of that TPV to phase with the ss wave. That’s the path to victory on Feb 4-6 My gut feel is that other models will come north Something that needs to be resolved is the handling of the trough as it crosses the Rockies. The gfs is mostly alone is completely splitting the trough then burying the main energy into Mexico. That’s game over for any Feb 5-6 storm. Ggem, euro, Icon and even the gefs mostly favor the trough elongating then ejecting the main energy into the southern plains and crossing east either through the TN valley gulf coast. That still doesn’t guarantee a storm. Some runs within that solution still mess up the phase or squash the storm. There are other variables that need to work out also. But that first one, whether the trough splits and digs into Mexico is critical before any of the others matter. One oddity. I’m not an expert in handling energy in the mountain west. But I follow the meteorologists on OpenSnow. They do great daily write up’s for every major ski resort area. Looking at some of the write up’s for Utah, Colorado and New Mexico, they seem to be favoring the gfs trough split. I find that odd because the gfs is mostly alone in that solution. Without experience just modelology I would never favor the gfs v consensus. But again, they might be leaning on experience here and that matters. Or perhaps they are just being pessimistic (the gfs trough split would leave the ski areas dry) because it’s been an awful season so far out west. But anyways just thought I’d point that out because it’s not getting much attention, and imo how that ejects out west matters as much as what’s going on over top of us. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any appreciable phasing would make this a significant event somewhere east of the Appalachian front. Going to be a tight case, but the bigger events are always about timing. CMC shows a path to victory. GFS still disconnected, but that southern wave is a beast. 100% agree not too often you have a 993mb-996mb low that far south in Central Gulf to Cape Canaveral I too believe this is probably coming north in time on the GFS all about timing and how the energy ejects out of the southwestern states as it heads across the south. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psuhoffman Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 4 minutes ago, Heisy said: End of cmc ensembles finally get us to that weeklies look . I’ve been unconcerned because the guidance isn’t in any conflict with the main feature which is the North Pacific trough. Yes as we get closer there are issues with exactly where and when waves will be. But so long as that pacific look is there it will work out. Energy out west will have to kick east. Ridges will be transient. The nao will slowly go more negative from the resultant wave breaking. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to see how we get above average without at LEAST a MECS. Finishing under 25-30" in the cities is gonna be a bust, imo. You're gonna need a 12-15 incher, and the a couple more events like we got week before last. I do hope the pattern can at least give us that! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terpeast Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 CMC doesn’t have ensemble support GEFS sticking with the suppressed idea, but are north of the op Op euro 12z same as 0z, but no confidence because it moved the TPV 1,500 miles from yesterday’s 12z We’ll see what the EPS has to say I did notice something though. In order for feb 4-6 to work for us, we need that omega block to close off into a rex block. Rather than an open block that crushes everything east of it, if we have a closed upper high over S Canada, that might give the ss wave extra room to come north. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heisy Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 That annoying Barney shot ULL needs to move east or west, where it’s at now on the euro won’t work.

ULL is west on 12z EPS, still quashes the ss wave but getting closer to a phase. If this is a new trend, we’ll want to keep it going to get them phased.

Low heights establishing near the Aleutians, building up a PNA ridge with an undercutting trough in the southwest, and what looks like confluent flow in the northeast? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris78 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 We're heading towards a nice pattern. My only concern is how long does it take to get temps right? If it's a week them were at 2/20. If it takes longer than a week then well...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To keep my hopes in check, sticking with a two weeks out approach. This week we have a weak clipper. Next week we have a southern storm with some potential to come north. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
