Jan Medium/Long Range Disco 2: Total Obliteration is Coming

STJ undercutting the western ridge. EPS depicts a pretty active southern stream with indication of h5 shortwaves in the flow. -

0z EPS has a -EPO/+PNA in the LR with a well placed Aleutian low. That's the type of pattern that can inject Arctic air into the flow and send it southward. -

That low track is pretty far offshore- looks like an inverted trough type deal. -

And this is how it can work- we get that interaction and enough dig at just the right time to induce low pressure at the coast. Its a glancing blow though and a great outcome for north of Philly to SNE. -
Jan Medium/Long Range Disco 2: Total Obliteration is Coming
CAPE replied to Jebman's topic in Mid Atlantic
This window has held potential for awhile now because of the advertised favorable h5 setup. I have been monitoring it ever since it showed up on the ens guidance, and one key missing component has been any southern stream energy of significance. The primary energy for the possible storm is embedded in the flow overtop the western ridge. That can work if it digs far enough south, but we need some NS energy associated with the TPV to get involved. By this time it is shifting into eastern Canada, with the tendency for interaction/a phase to occur a little late for the MA. Also doesn't help that the PNA ridge axis is modeled to shift eastward during this time. The ens means have been very consistent with a signal for low pressure forming around our latitude and strengthening as it moves northeastward offshore. -

With timing differences and possibly 2 waves, this is a better depiction. Still not great, but the mean implies 1-2".- 425 replies

Jan 15-16 Storm Threat Thread: Do we finally win or get Saltburned?
CAPE replied to H2O's topic in Mid Atlantic
We always get too high on the weenie runs, but take a step back and look at the setup- we have tracked this threat for a long time, and it has always been precarious with that vortex sitting up top and cold pressing, but no 50-50. Classic thread the needle deal. 2-4 is realistic and still doable.- 425 replies

Realistically this has looked like a light to moderate event. Can still pull that off.- 425 replies

You don't think Mason Rudolph will be throwing lasers through the wind and blowing snow in Buffalo? -

CAPE replied to Jebman's topic in Mid Atlantic
There is a frontrunner piece of vorticity, then the stronger piece comes in behind. If that digs further south and the coastal low pops off the NC coast instead of DE, we are probably referring to this as a 'dual low structure' instead of a Miller B. We just need a little more dig in general, regardless of whether there is an initial weaker low or not. -

Coastal pops east of DE. A bit too far north. Some snow verbatim though.
