Picked up more rain that I thought we would today. 1.44” so far with maybe a few showers to go. Creek by the house is ripping. Current temp of 55.9 was our high this morning. Temp has quickly fallen to 43.5
Yea, 850’s in Ontario. What could go wrong?? Cold air is completely routed out by the time this system shows up. Maybe some ice/sleet but does not look favorable for snow
From snow to severe weather. Take your pick of model this afternoon, they got a little bit of everything for the 23rd. GEFS looks great. Will be interesting to see EPS
Haha this:
Pattern has potential. Models all over the place. Nice to be under a deform band for 12+ hours with 20” of digital snow on a model run though!!!
Run for the ages. Big snow, white Christmas, brutal cold, another big snow, more cold… Unlike previous 4 years we actually have a pattern to support this
It’s a known model bias for the EURO to over amplify systems in the SW at range especially in Niña patterns. It is at odds with its ensembles which usually means you will see a lot of run to run variance and that will s what we’ve seen with the model. If the EPS pushes a western trough down into the 4 corners region the way the op does then I’ll be more concerned but it doesn’t and looks much more similar to the GEFS at range. Maybe the op caught onto something and the ensemble package moves towards the op but having the GEFS and EPS in relative alignment on the pattern evolution is usually a good sign if things to come on the ops as we get closer
GEFS looks slightly improved from last night. EURO is out to lunch and still seems to be handling the energy out west poorly and the op remains at odds with the EPS. Need that western ridge a little further east. GEFS looks pretty dang good for snow chances. It’s really that western energy and making sure it rounds the ridge and doesn’t over amplify in the Mississippi valley that could be the wrench thrown in this. GFS is super suppressed but I’ll take that look all day at range. Hopefully by the weekend we have a good idea of how the western energy will evolve
EURO op being at war with its ensembles and GEFS says to me we will continue to see wild swings on the Op runs for a few more days. However, trends haven’t been great today. We’re still in the game though. Let’s ride
I fully agree with this. The amount of energy flying around on the southern jet after Thursdays system is insane. No wonder models are having a difficult time figuring out which piece to latch onto
