DDweatherman Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 I think at this point, it’s simple what we want, the Nam type solution where WAA precip comes in north and hot thanks to weaker confluence and the SS vort can climb a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baltosquid Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 There's just no big time interaction. Nothing to initiate a phase. Just kind of rides up where it can and looks set to shunt off without much of a coastal effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDweatherman Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 @NorthArlington101 is almost always associated with bad news. I vote we keep him out of the thread for a bit and try to change the vibes. Sorry NA, nothing personal bud. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDweatherman Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Was worried about this a few days ago, extremely fragile set up and easy to fail. We haven’t done well historically in Niña’s with big amplified phase events. That plus the seasonal trend of deamplificafion of shortwaves made this an uphill battle to hold onto the big solutions at d5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baltosquid Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 It's not gonna be a huge slip but yeah there's just nothing exciting happening at h5 like we were seeing in the big runs. As long as that's the case, there's just no way for it to climb up the coast, let alone tuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is where we have a chance to still score a warning level event. Ratios will be good and whoever is in the juice will have little to no problem producing dendrites thanks to solid fgen from a good vort & moisture transport from a s/s gulf interaction.

This as the final outcome would be a win still for DC… maybe less for the NW/NE folks who have struggled this year. 6” of cold powder is nothing to scoff at. Fingers crossed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baltosquid Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Early on, don't think the Canadian looks good either. Energy is a tad faster through 42 and the TPV looks pretty comfortably gapped from the storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I'm not upset with this outcome because 7 inches is a lot (insert joke here) but its just a little frustrating to constantly see the phase become weaker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also if everyone just on the PA side of the line up here goes up to the other forum myself and many of the northern MD contingent might follow because our climo is probably more similar to there and if we no longer have anyone in here to commiserate with or have our local meso discussions in a storm then it might make more sense to be with them. I’d probably end up splitting my time more. Right now the PA forum is more central PA and the right along the PA line people are in here with us. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baltosquid Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 One potential positive on the CMC is the TPV isn't pressing as hard in the northeast but there's still nothing really interesting happening out west so I don't think it's gonna help much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try to spend some split time in there for obs during the storms and a little bit during tracking. This is just a much busier forum and a more consolidated geography. Yes, the climo for me is not all that dissimilar to state college (normally at least) compared to say Arlington or Annapolis. But this is where my online weather love kicked off 15+ years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that event, separation of the streams isn’t the focus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Something like this makes more sense if you mostly have a storm that’s being forced by the southern wave and confluence is preventing it from pushing too far north. Frankly looks more like our other events this year. Storm develops in the plains and mostly tracks east without gaining a ton of latitude. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
