Coastal Storm Potential - Jan 11-12 II


Baroclinic Zone

Recommended Posts

I'm off today and tomorrow luckily. I was busy yesterday with the se.

00z ec ensembles are still the furthest west...no surprise. 06z gfs ensembles are may e 40 miles or so east of the euro ensembles. Canadian ensembles right over the BM.

Where are the EC ensembles? ACK?

Thx.....I better hope for an EC Ens outcome with a side of NAM.

ENjoy the time off!!!

Might be able to just split the difference there...perhaps 60/40 nam?

Yeah that's the way I've been leaning...somewhere in the middle. But its certainly possible we could see something on either extreme end of the envelopes. I'm leaning mesoscale models right now though.

what did the ensembles show for the gfs and ec? read the thread quickly and didn't see them

GYX is interesting....discussion doesn't sound enthusiastic, mention 4-8 along the coast....I'm about to jump reading that....then the point and click ha me in heavy accumulation for Wed.

Good morning morning crew (Jerry, Mike, Scott etc.) I see Will has joined this morning and Bob too. Sorry for whomever I am missing.

0z and 6z gfs bring .5 ish to CON and NAM brings around 1".. I'm tossing the GYX forecast for now. If I click a few mi south of my location in the BOX cwa there's a Winter Storm Watch, which I'm applying to myself :whistle:

Given that the ECMWF now has effective 15km grid resolution...shouldn't we expect it to resolve similar features to the WRF etc.?

classic coastal system so gfs is back to its s and e bias. euro on the money, nam a little west. looks to me like if it bottoms out a bit faster then it tucks and slows a bit during that process...that to me is the question. good sign that euro ens are west. we should probably watch the actually development of the low and see if it is looking more intense than progged. interesting that the gfs has the initial storm form much further off the coast than the nam. but there tracks are similar for a bit at that point. if it forms further in like the nam suggests then we are in biz up here.

seems that the thinking of some of the mets is that it might intensify more than shown...will i think said this, tip yesterday, jb this morning, not sure about scott. in nyc thread looking at the 6z gfs some of them though h5 was trending stronger and should do a better job pulling that surf low west

The low for Wed won't be on the coast until tomorrow. The current system in the SE is not what we're getting.

I could see it tucking a little more west of euro. I think it may track close to ACK, but I could see the euro track happening as well. H5 is strong is may help to tuck the low west a bit.

Yeah it should resolve them at initialization, but I think its the model dynamics where they differ.The mesoscale models are non-hydrostatic which will let them solve vertical motion without the hydrostatic approximation. This might be a case where that is helpful vs harmful which it can often be when it has those convective feedback issues way offshore in an otherwise normal looking synoptic pattern...but this system looks to have a lot of convection right in its main circulation.

I reallylike the way you think. interesting to see how you do vs me this time. I am on 127 at the Webster Salisbury line. Elevation tends to help a bit up here and I usually do better than CON but you may do better in this one.

Yeah...I think we will see the nam give alittle ground se but not to the extent of the further se solutions.... Maybe over ack or just a few ticks se of the island...something a little closer in than the 00z ec run

Overall...I think for a first go the box map is good. Given some of the extreme forcing at work...probably a spot 15 to 17 in there someplace? Will be a fun 36 hrs coming up!

Yeah I know we can't start looking at that yet....but of course the dynamics over the south are part of what gets tapped though right? 12z should be interesting:

- does the nam hold serve?

- how do srefs trend?

- does gfs stay great at h5 and tug low back to coast?

- what signal do we get from the rest of the global suite?

This one's coming. There may be minor changes but I think we've known now for 24 hours approximately where this is going. SREFs have been rock solid in a big snow dump region wide for several runs now.
