Fozz Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 The 6z GFS at 300 hours has a very amped storm that buries the far N/W crowd but screws everyone else with driving 33 degree rain. Way too far out to have any emotion about it but I’m glad to see the signal. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormchaserchuck1 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 We actually have a good West-based La Nina going I went back to 1998, and found 14 analogs to the West-based La Nina event. Here is what they showed for the following March US Temps: 500mb... the important part is the N. pacific pattern: Matches the current LR GEFS over the Pacific.. 384hr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't throw it out unless something else that is happen doesn't match. In this case I'm using ENSO, because the La Nina has come relatively late, and the SOI is running positive, etc.. Winter trend though has been for +PNA, so we'll see how that goes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormchaserchuck1 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Indexes really turn rough. There is some left over EC trough from the +PNA, then it just goes all-south Days 14+. It can change though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember it looked like mid Summer by April first that year. That was the worst winter. We didn't get a flake here. The coldest morning was like 28.

Ensembles do better post day 7 imho. Can it be right post day 7? Sure, just as often as any other operational model. Meaning, it's dumb luck. Day 5 and in is when the AI has shined. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand We will trend colder near early to mid March, but doubt its cold enough for snow in our region, except for maybe psu land. The core of the cold will reside in the NE part of the country. Not seeing the bowling bowl pattern across the Midwest, and the cold is easing out West, while the AO continues positive, there is no severe AO for mid month for cold air delivery. Also, by mid March the PNA goes negative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
