Expand Too much of a good thing...cold. The question is whether the new pattern is conducive once we get a thaw. Who knows? Hopefully the Euro will reflect some stability unlike the Gfs and Gefs.

CAPE Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 The 0z EPS looks active between the 18th and 23rd, with potential for multiple waves. Best chance for frozen initially is to our northwest and then increases in the 21-23 window as the boundary moves southeastward. GEFS is fairly similar and gets cold air in place a bit sooner. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 6z GFS gets close here but a little offshore. Any waves prior to that are strung out/suppressed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psuhoffman Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 The 6z gefs looks really good day 10-15. Jan 19 Still looks like a rain to snow type wave. Individual runs can’t agree on which wave after but they are shotgunning boundary waves at us with the thermal gradient oriented SW to NE just south of us day 10-15. That’s what we want in this type of pattern. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psuhoffman Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 It’s gonna be a long few weeks if people react to every operational runs depiction of 200+ hour events. None of these waves will be well resolved until inside 72 hours. They tend to shift around a lot. If there is no NS interference they tend to shift north. If a NS wave ends up over the top in front they tend to shift south. But the boundary isn’t at stable as in a blocking regime. No chance guidance nails these at range. Some are overreacting to noise level changes run to run. look at the ensembles and the general long wave pattern. Don’t react to synoptic specifics. 10 2 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchnick Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 I haven't looked closely at how they do it, but Geps snowfall map is the best of the 3 ensembles. At this range, that's all I need to know. Lol 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
