It is far from forgone that 1/10 will be mostly rain.
-
For 80-90% of this forum, it’s going to be snow if the low tracks anywhere between the benchmark and ACK in the current synoptic setup. Now if we get more of a hugger, then you’re going to introduce more ptype issues. EPS has a lot more hugger solutions so that’s going to be messier…esp southern areas and coastline.
-
Don’t think there’s enough room for that with a 50/50 low. But it could get close enough for snow changing to a mix of crap…but right now most guidance is SE of the Euro which was still all snow for SNE outside the cape and islands.
-
So for a potential big coastal a week out, we have EPS suite amped and the GEFS mostly a fringe job SE….sounds like the universe is starting to return to normal.
-
Yeah the only way cold is an issue is if 1/7 somehow cuts. Any coastal track is going to have plenty of cold.
-
I don’t think I’d want a southern stream system cutting inland in model guidance 7 days out. I’d much rather need a little bump north.
-
1/10 looks CAD-ish to me. Doubt interior would get wiped…could even be a net gain if you get a decent front-ender. It’s still 10 days so not sure the obsession with it anyway.
-
That’s just the starting point. Can always adjust up as we get closer.
-
1/7 is a really strong sig for this far out but given it’s still a week out I wouldn’t get too committed yet regardless of how bad December was.
-
Could be a pretty fun period…esp if we can sort of morph that 1/10 threat into a SWFE front ender type instead of a true cutter.
-
Aside from the storm threats over the next 10 days, the LR improved overnight…that NAO blocking is still showing but the N PAC looks a lot better. Poleward EPO ridging showing up post-10th.
-
Dewpoints starting to fall below freezing here. Can’t remember the last time we had that.
-
Pretty much all of the I-35 corridor cities in TX will get totality. San Antonio/Austin/Waco/Dallas. Waco is right in the middle though so they’ll get it the longest.
-
Give us that type of trend a couple more runs and we’re in business.
-
Yeah some of those prob had some northern stream insert at some point before turning the corner. That event doesn’t look like a classic phase since there’s a trough out west…but getting a bit of northern stream energy into it prior to it turning north would help out.
-
Pounds of goose meat?
-
The two systems almost have opposite problems. 1/5 we’re needing a bit more southern stream phasing (ala GGEM) and for 1/7 we need more northern stream injection. That’s what I’d be looking for on each model cycle.
-
I honestly have no idea what you’re talking about. The 1/7 setup has a high to the north. It’s not advecting in PAC air as it approaches. It would be drawing down air from that high.
-
No it isn’t. It’s cold enough to snow down to Mid-Atlantic.
-
I actually agree that 1/7 is still a longshot but I won’t confidently dismiss as easily as you because it’s not a prerequisite to have a ridge out west to get those to gain latitude. You’d just want to see that southern stream a little deeper…incorporate a bit more N stream energy before it tries to turn the corner. We’ve seen several big southern stream storms in the past with a trough out west.
-
EPS is really trying to build the -NAO mid-month. Like retrograde that North Atlantic ridge back into Greenland and Baffin/Davis Strait. That would keep things interesting despite a meh N PAC
-
Surprised to see this
-
You need a bit more northern stream insert on the Euro for 1/7 or you need confluence to lift out a little faster. Plenty of time on that one, but that’s what you’ll want to look for in the coming days.
-
Especially when that blocking is starting to CAD the 1-10 system. That one might not have rain for at least NNE.
-
GFS suite is producing more northern stream light snow than before. Southern stream doesn’t really phase in well like on GGEM or ICON…but that deeper northern stream does give us a “consolation prize”.
