It might be a whiff on the surface...it is not a whiff on the vort maps. Looks similar to 6z.
-
Negative tilt vort over South Carolina at 141.
-
12z Euro might be interesting per 500 vort maps.
-
And the CMC synoptics make a lot of sense w/ the cold air diving into energy in the STJ. Big cold fronts can go boom at this time of year.
-
12z CMC is a classic EC blizzard.
-
I may have to break down and look at Google AI. FTR, it is freaking cold outside. Roads here this morning were a solid sheet of ice w/ about a 1/2" of new snow overnight. You could barely stand up on some streets - yes, I went running in this mess(if you can call it running when on ice). Snow flurries are rolling through currently. We put covers on outdoors spigots yesterday evening. I think this type of light snow shower activity may continue on and off throughout the cold snap....14-15' type of stuff but lighter.
-
So Storm Vista has the Google AI model w/ the hobby plan?
-
Do we dare wish for and earlier phase? I see Baja energy…
-
Did that phase? Sure like a partial phase. Not sure there is much room to jog northwest, but the pieces are there for a storm. That strong are of BN heights can sometimes (often times?) trigger snow along the front. If it grabs a piece of STJ energy - good things.
-
Kind of wonky synoptics, but as @tnweathernutmentioned…we may be exiting the window where models lose stuff. Seems like the GFS has something similar. If I had to guess…that area of very BN heights is causing the disturbance. 85 had similar occurrences where very cold air masses spawned snow storms.
-
Thank you. All is good!
-
If you just need to live vicariously....The Broncos vs Patriots game has gone from sunshine to near blizzard conditions. The cold is here for a bit!
-
But declaring a winter a dud on Jan 25 is JI worthy, especially with a winter storm in progress. LOL.
-
Yeah, man. I agree. While 2/3 of the forum is currently under a winter storm warning...not the time to be calling winter a dud. Just ride the wave.
-
Winter isn't over.
-
Thursday and the weekend have to be watched.
-
The 6z GFS is one small system after another…lots of NW flow. Prob favors NW flow areas, but I would assume there are some chances as Feb climatology will fight the dry pattern IMHO.
-
It is possible, but unlikely in February IMHO. I mean, we are in the middle of an ice storm right now w/ rain in the East. I suspect we see several, small northern stream systems. No model is gonna have details correct outside of 7 days...just generally a 500 pattern. Cosgrove things another storm in the south next weekend is possible. He says the cold and stormy pattern continues. He is batting a thousand right now. This current storm moved the precip line almost 500 miles in three model runs.
-
West of I-81 in TRI...we need temps to get above freezing ASAP. Lots of ice building up w/ a steady train of more precip inbound.

0.1-0.15 ice accretion so far. Trees are glistening and well as the power lines.

The 12z ensembles(EPS, GEPS) and 18z ensembles(AIFS-EPS, GEFS) all have a trough over the east for most of their runs with maybe a 2-3 respite. The Euro Weeklies continue that pattern well into February and maybe even early March. The MJO-CPC is basically stalled in cold phases through mid-Feb when those runs end. It looks likely that our cold and wintry pattern continues for a time - no guarantees. IF that verifies, we all may be ready for spring when it finally arrives.

We have picked up .75-1" of snow IMBY. That is already at or well ahead of what any model(not named the GFS) consistently showed. Right now our winds are out of the NE at 7mp which is exactly where they should be coming from w/ that high over the top. The cold is getting reinforced at lower levels. CAD on this side of the mountain for all intents and purposes. I feel certain it gets scoured out...but some areas may fight that changeover longer than others.
