2/22-23 "There's no way..." Storm Part 2

21z RAP has me getting 15-18" -

2/22-23 "There's no way..." Storm Part 2
Stormchaserchuck1 replied to Maestrobjwa's topic in Mid Atlantic
It's not that bad because shorter wavelengths give us a favorable H5 low in the Gulf of Alaska. Our biggest snowstorms historically have that -H5 anomaly -
2/22-23 "There's no way..." Storm Part 2
Stormchaserchuck1 replied to Maestrobjwa's topic in Mid Atlantic
It's actually not a big anomaly, because we have a 50/50 low and strong Gulf of Alaska 500mb low. NAO is technically positive, but there is ridging left over from the previous -NAO over the Hudson bay/E Canada, with a trough underneath of it. 500mb pattern close to us in latitude and longitude is pretty favorable. -

15z RAP keeps it rain for a while along I-95 while heavier rates change it to heavy snow in eastern MD/DE. Weird run. -

NAM throws a nice band back west Monday morning. Has the coastal low at 966mb -

Guess the super warm temps yesterday and high of 50 today isn't going to matter much.. I'd much rather it snow than be right lol -

I would be pretty excited if the Euro showed that -

Stormchaserchuck1 replied to Maestrobjwa's topic in Mid Atlantic
Let's see. These types of situations might go with the models that are a few degrees warmer. I'm not just saying that - many storms hold the warm air when they are riding a frontal boundary like this, especially around DC. -

It's a much better model. NAM might be worse than the GFS. -

Even at 60hrs, I'll take the Euro over the NAM. -
Feb 22nd/23rd "There's no way..." Storm Thread
Stormchaserchuck1 replied to Maestrobjwa's topic in Mid Atlantic
I'm sure it's been mentioned but the 6z Euro is really warm. I was thinking models would start gravitating over to the GFS yesterday, when it was consistent and increasing every run, and other models were starting to trend. That was like 6 runs in a row with a near blizzard! We just don't do big snows without an optimal setup these days. These frontal boundary stationary fronts, with us being on the warm side, always go this way. -
2026-2027 El Nino
Stormchaserchuck1 replied to Stormchaserchuck1's topic in Weather Forecasting and Discussion
When it starts warming at the surface by April, we'll see which regions are going where. -
2026-2027 El Nino
Stormchaserchuck1 replied to Stormchaserchuck1's topic in Weather Forecasting and Discussion
Really warming up in the eastern-subsurface. Probably going to start to surface in the next month or so. SOI isn't on board yet, but it has been lagging the last 3 years: 25-26 RONI Nina: the monthly SOI never went >+10 until October '25 24-25 RONI Nina: the monthly SOI never went >+10 at all 23-24 Strong Nino: SOI was Neutral until May 2023, when the El Nino began. Feb-March-April 2023 average SOI was +2.7/month. -
2026-2027 El Nino
Stormchaserchuck1 replied to Stormchaserchuck1's topic in Weather Forecasting and Discussion
Colder Spring probablity? AO/NAO/AAO run in decadal patterns, and run pretty together. Sept-Dec 2025 had a pretty good run of -AAO: 2025 -0.080 -0.271 0.733 1.138 0.509 0.209 0.753 0.357 -0.709 -1.236 -1.324 -1.136 That rolls forward to a -NAO signal for the following N. Hemisphere Spring (+6 months) [map correlation is default positive, with both sides included, so for -AAO it's opposite] -
2025-2026 ENSO
Stormchaserchuck1 replied to 40/70 Benchmark's topic in Weather Forecasting and Discussion
5 month SOI.. Oct-Feb 25-26 is still going to be the highest since 2022. And we're seeing more of a Nina pattern here in the 2nd part of February and March, despite warm subsurface -
2025-2026 ENSO
Stormchaserchuck1 replied to 40/70 Benchmark's topic in Weather Forecasting and Discussion
Warmer overall right now, but not a "classic warming" This Winter is going to finish with greater warm anomalies than cold anomalies at 10mb.. which matches QBO. For the 4th Winter in a row. -

SOI has been lagging the last few years 25-26 RONI Nina: the monthly SOI never went >+10 until October '25 24-25 RONI Nina: the monthly SOI never went >+10 at all 23-24 Strong Nino: SOI was Neutral until May 2023, when the El Nino began. Feb-March-April 2023 average SOI was +2.7/month. -

Still no signs of pattern change in March on long range ensemble models -
I still have full snowcover from Jan 25. This was just taken

560dm ridge over DC?.. hmm might have a tough time cooling down -

2025-2026 ENSO
Stormchaserchuck1 replied to 40/70 Benchmark's topic in Weather Forecasting and Discussion
^Pretty warm look. Models haven't really been verifying that pattern this Winter though - let's see if it holds as we get closer, but +nao/+epo combo can be pretty warm and sustained for a little bit of time. -

Transition to El Nino should be fast
