November 2025 general discussions and probable topic derailings ...
Typhoon Tip replied to Typhoon Tip's topic in New England
The astute ( actually ...it doesn't take being very astute at all ) observer might point out how that longer term recording is a "serrated" trajectory. That means there are up periods ... and there are down periods.... but, the longer termed has proven that down has dominated the total journey. -

What I think is amazing is how the global temperatures have risen at nearly a 1::1 correlation (proportionality) to that Keeling Curve spanning the same decades ... yet, they are not related! whooah - says people with accredited advancing research degrees that exhaustively plied through every thermodynamic physical methodology that has ever been known to man, too - You know, there is certainly a right to free speech. But, heh ...there is certainly just as much right to being roundly ignored, even chastised, for disconnect from reality, brick for a skulls walking around hee-hawing in abstinence over what science ( the pursuit of truth, mind you) has been 100% backing timelessly yeah...really amazing -

it's likely wrong... I mean for one, that model's not going to resolve idiosyncratic in situ synoptic elements, because the climatology normalizing aspect ends up muting those specific signals. case in point, at 48 to 72 hours there's a lead s/w in Indian/southern Lakes, that skirts out ahead of the main trough, priory to it going through that amplitude out there are 84-96 ... that little piece of shit is a ruiner. it is in destructive interference with what probably could have been a CFS type solution. the CFS doesn't even have that lead wave. the other guidance all do, and as a consequence have to generate a second wave forming along b-c axis down around eastern VA, but they then fail to really get it's act together soon enough ... the ensemble of the EPS bombs that that thing in the GOM... way to late (btw). If it were not for the lead pos mentioned above, than the event emphasis would probably be the feature. it's not impossible that thing modulate in that direction but it would be pretty rare at this range for the the other more dependable guidance types. i was just bringing it up more tongue-in-cheek. but yeah, it's nice eye candy. ha. -

So if this Climate tainted version of the GFS model known as the CFS is going to be right ... one would think these 12z runs are going to have to at least start to represent. It's only 84 f'um hours away. There's a bit of an implication there in the 'climate' part - where in the past, this kind of trough/synoptic evolution ended up producing an NJ model quick deepener/ with cold rain over to snows scenario. Why else is this model keep insisting this set up like below. It isn't the first run (0z) that was selling this. But of course we know now that CC's proooobably ruined that from ever happening going forward . It's okay - because CC doesn't exist anyway, right -

Graupel shower with gusty winds through Ayer an hour or so ago. Bouncing rattling particles with more frozen then liquid at one point. Some of the bigger pieces seemed to carry a bit in the wind, so it gave the affect as though it really wanted to flip. Could see the curtains in the sky moving quickly by. The sun was milked by anvil cirrus as it moved off ... low top convection-like. But the freezing level/mix temp types were not far over head. First frozen of the season in the books! -
Overnight Wednesday, November 5, 2025 Wind Event
Typhoon Tip replied to weatherwiz's topic in New England
that might be why, yeah.. add that to the plausible reasons for model amplitude biases out in time. Over-assimilation in data sparse regions. -
Overnight Wednesday, November 5, 2025 Wind Event
Typhoon Tip replied to weatherwiz's topic in New England
what do we mean by llj in this case? i may not be understanding where that was seen. i never bought into the llj idea, as i think of that as a compression jet out ahead a baroclinic axis where 900 mb fire hose is going on. if so, that is not typically found in flat progressive wave types, skirting along a straight w-e or wnw-ese deep layer motion. that may be more of cyclone climatology argument but clippers/quasi-clippers don't typically do that. if this had, this would have been unusual. unusual things do take place from time to time so in that sense ... couldn't ignore it entirely, no. however, seeing it not happen? heh but synoptically, any wind as i saw it in the modeling from 2 days ago ... was more likely going to come from a jolt isallobaric acceleration as the low was leaving, then seamlessly that pulsed acceleration becomes a few hours of caa instability related momentum gusts. (isallobaric acceleration is due to excessive deepening rates exceeding Coriolis and the wind goes across the isobars instead of flowing quasi-parallel - the response can be so overwhelming that it's like a p-wave off a bomb blast with low lvl wind fields, even calm scenarios, abruptly finding itself in damaging whiplash gusting in some extreme cases) two days ago this had some semblances of that effect. not hugely obvious, but when combining that with modeled lapses rates at the time, and also, a low modeled down to sub 980 mb ...the rest became choosing the model that was the most dystopian d-drip extreme lol . seriously though it should be noted, the nam never really had big wind beginning ~ two day ago. the other aspect is the model magnification syndrome. ha. just mean that tendency to de-amplify just about everything the models actually model, when they bring events inside of 72 hours. we've discussed this ad naseam. this overall system devolution in modes, and it really bit some forecasting ass this time. that dependable error correction ( greater amplitude to less amplitudes at irregular percentage headaches) is puzzling. i've wondered if perhaps there a physical flaw in the model construction, one possibly being exposed by cc. i've wondered if there is a natural, unavoidable tendency for systems to 'glow' prominently out in time, then succumbing to countless corrosive factors - those that cannot be seen - yet to emerge along the way; they gnaw at the system in question. i've even wondered if the engineers were mandated to do this on purpose- because it could actually serve a purpose in ferreting out the more important events that might otherwise be buried in chaos out in time. we can sci-fi this for ever. probably something like that middle reason... either way, something like 10 to 40% of any 'storm' is pretty much eaten away in some kind of entropic tax as the late mid range comes into near terms. this system clearly fell victim to that. -

Unlikely to have legs if were even real, not with the entire compendium of polar indexes collapsing ... But that's likely 'post bating' anyway - -

I think it's more apt to say it was a decent fail by the models that were promoting it. The NAM had this less than 40mph winds 2 days ago for example. -

NAM still not interested in much over 40 -

kind of reminds me of latter November 1992 the way the pattern's behaving in the models. There was a small bomb that fired off in the GOM a week or 10 days prior to the Dec 9 classic, and it clipped the coast with some high winds. It's not an analog per se, not without looking at any guiding metrics ... But, this bombogensis occurring along a BUF-PWM line, tomorrow night just reminds me of that. which by the way, 1004 MB in S Ontario, down to 985 E of PWM just 15 hours later is a bomb. I'm also seeing a potential that some of this wind has an isallobaric aspect to it. The storm is deepening and approaching ( fast ) at the same rate, such that the wind ahead isn't as noticable because those two are quasi balanced. But, soon low gets passed, there you are, in a deep pressure well to climb out of. That recovery will do so faster than the sub-geostrophic balance and the winds will become particularly nasty. This would manifest as a sudden surge of very large gusts across the area... I've seen near calm conditions, leaning large tree jet engine blasts in as little as minutes... Then, the situation melds into a CAA burst, which can have topper gusts for general lapsing A lot of the wind events that are predicted around here fail, because PGF component doesn't exceed the balancing enough. That thing tomorrow night looks really unbalanced. -

what I thought was interesting about last night was the smell of higher DP air that raced in just ahead of that activity. It was dark, but the scud above were vaguely lit by the cityscape beneath enough to discern they were tilting NW to SE as they skirted along a WSW trajectory - a physical observation consistent with positive helicity. The temps were mild for the time of the year, completing the setting. I remember thinking in the moment how unusual those tandem observations were for November ... Didn't think much of it again until pea-sized hail and rain sheets pushed around by a big woosh of wind swept through a couple of hours later. -

could be a red flag. yep. that and the amplitude. euro’s not free of blame in doing this in that range. AIF/ICON/UKMET trended tho. just sayn’ Again there’s index support fwiw -

Heh, life expectancy can have multiple definitions - depending on context..etc. First of all, it's not just about CC killing people. That's childish really. I just hear this doubter's tactic all the time, too. Not sure if it is because they can't see the bigger picture, or they have some other aspect about their minds that limits their perceptions into very narrow inclusions. I'm not saying it's you, but too often retorts are myopically linear like that. Reductive, when not conflating. Reductive really is the best word for it, where they either do not understanding or are predisposed to ignore the fuller extent of nuanced complexity that really constructs the topic at hand. Or, are just being immorally devices in only giving data that supports their side. Why not give it a try? The upshot is that it's trying to save lives. I mean like what's the doubter point- there is none. Don't do anything because one thinks their is no risk, is a Darwinian Award looking for a ceremonial. The total assessment of life expectancy comes from any array of additions and subtractions of factors, both of which are also changing in time. Ex, a human at birth in 2025 has a much longer life expectancy than 1725 because of improv(e)(ing) medical standards relative to era. Other discoveries since and including the advantages of, the Industrial Revolution, is why the population of the world soared billions since 1750. This is all vastly more pervasively effecting the extension of life than millions dying from CC. (CC killing millions + population either opting out, or losing birth capacity) / 2 = some hindrance to life expectancy that has, so far, much less weight than the advantages of the last 200 years - the trailing generations of which are yet also advantaged ever more. But this is all a situation that is changing. The bottom line is... people will doubt whatever it is they don't want/can't or agenda to admit, until it causes them pain. There is no such thing in their mind as a CC. There is no such thing as a polluted penis problem. They’ll defiantly remain hard headed until they suffer, then? they are usually evangelical going the other way. I don’t usually engage in this level of the discussion because I find this limitation blocking sight of subject at hand to be all but an impossible barrier. so … just have to wait it out. Eventually denial will be replaced by shame
