We have the Carter's Valley snow hole and the Hardin Valley snow hole on the 6z GFS run: We also have a Strat split right now: With the potential for another one in the long range. Convection from last weeks western Pac kind of puttered out so we never saw the big SOI drop I thought we would, but I was pretty impressed by how the MJO just tanked into the COD this week.

Winter 2021/2022 February Thread

Looks like the convection from last Sunday has pushed into the western Pac a little quicker than I was expecting. With that look I wouldn't be surprised if there is a huge SOI drop one day later this week or next weekend. Now to be fair the SOI was almost +20 today, but there is also a tropical cyclone creeping around near Darwin. Looks like there is also some decent convection firing in the eastern Indian Ocean, so I guess we'll see what that does as the week goes on. I still think we might have a window centered on the ides of March, plus or minus a few days before or after. -

I think we're in the worst of the "long range modeling having deteriorating looks" phase of Feb. Tropical convection is ugly, but chugging along: It still has to make it further east and not die out when and if it gets into more favorable reasons. I'm sure there will be a couple of tropical cyclones to delay it as well, but I think the second week of March holds some hope. There's some talk in the MA forum of a -AO as well. Or I could be totally wrong. But hey, at least the floods look like they end today for a week! And no one has 14 inches of rain, thankfully. -

The only way this is going to work is if we get some nice thunder this week. Nary a rumble since I can remember. TIMs is out of juice. -

Sorry I didn't mean that to come out as challenge to the "winter's over" statement. It could be for me, for all I know. I had just been thinking about the MJO for the past couple days and was thinking about making a post after I looked at it. I hadn't looked at it since last week and it just struck me how much it seemed to have progressed. If nothing else it seems to be persistent, but weak this winter, but it also seems to get sort of hung up for a bit in some areas. -

Euro was still a little bit south with the firehouse, so yeah somebody in the TN Valley watershed is going to get it. Hopefully nothing like the 14" amounts come to fruition anywhere. -

GFS seems to be trending a bit north with the worst rainfall this week. WPC seems to like that solution: Looks pretty much like the NBM, but hedging on the higher side. Seems reasonable to me. Will be interesting to see exactly where the firehose sets up. -

Holston_River_Rambler replied to AMZ8990's topic in Tennessee Valley
MJO convection, IMO, seems to be moving pretty well. It's taken it about a week and a half to move from the eastern Indian Ocean to the Maritime Continent. The TC aiming at Madagascar is a big reason why the RMMs want to keep it in the Indian Ocean at this point, I think. Below you can see how the Euro ensembles really want to jump it to the MC, but the IMO TC is forcing whatever equation Wheeler and Hendon came up with to spit out a medium amplitude phase 3. I think in ~ 10 days the MJO wave is going to be back in the western Pac or close to it. Questions though: 1. How far does it make it/ Will it be a strong push? 2. How many TCs get spun up and potential weaken any convection associated with it? 3. Does it even matter in March? -

Quick thought: I wonder if there is a sort of funnel that is created by the extensions of the plateau, that helps focus lift, if the wind is NW/ NNW: -

The means, the means for the CMC, Euro, and GFS ensembles for the TN valley river systems are from 4.5 - 6.5 inches. I think flamingo man riding his floaty in front of the fellini Kroger was pretty much peak flood action in Knoxvegas in 2019. I think I was looking at the means that far out that year, so I'm going to go dredge up those posts and see how that looked. But lordy the 6z GFS gave me flashbacks with where the firehose was aimed. And it wasn't at fantasy range:
