Typhoon Tip

I added to that... some for amusement some of thoughts

This is all likely true in this paper ... but it certainly isn't true this year - for now.. I mean, a persistent snow pack, squalls in the air ... and possible refit event 108 or so hours out in models that have others through the 20th ... to mention, a -20 something anomaly plume here on the doorstep, these are all hallmarks of an above normal winter expression. As an aside, I'm reminded ... I thought back in early September this has a shot at a front loaded winter. Not sure this quite yet qualifies... but at the time I said either that, or a quasi one anyway. I just get the feel that it's done in January this year, though. Flower February? I'm sure I just triggered a salvo of responses, either why that's not true posts, are a bunch of truly intellectually inspiring shit emojis ... but we'll let all that and see what happens in due time.

interesting. the 12z EPS has as far as I can tell, completely evacuated the mid month Rosby rollout/warm up. This mean centered on the 17th ( for ex) bears no signature of that any longer

12z GEFs mean has a higher latitude center jump suggested for the 8th. Much better presentation for something in this window comparing to the 00z. 06z interim run did step wise improve so this is a trend. I don't think the operational run is complete garbage - as I've outlined, there's a +PNA burst, albeit minoring but there nonetheless; so there's a background tendency for more amplitude ( correction vectoring - ). ...Not a major by any means -

I was musing ( if not diabolically hoping LOL ) that these would rake through at about 4:49 PM, followed by a 15F temp crash muah hahahahaha

Here you go Weatherwiz .... we were discussing this squall potential earlier in the week ..well, good call I guess. Them be s-squall warning boxes https://radar.weather.gov/station/kenx/standard

Really that's going to be the challenge ... I realize I hit at this aspect a lot and probably it's getting on nerves, I dunno - folks don't seem to acknowledge they understand, or perhaps they don't give a shit. LOL either way ... but the fastness of the basal velocity, is also matched by the fact that embeded S/W are torpedoing at huge speeds relative to planetary climate. We're seeing them enter B.C. and exit the EC of N/A in like 60 hours. It's very physically challenging to get streams to resonate with that circumstantially going on. But that said, it doesn't mean it can't just be enough... or perhaps slow down even ( thus allowing more harmonics), if the non-linear +PNA ( which is in fact bursting in that time range - mentioned this earlier to Southcoast' ) becomes more linearly expressed. This morning ... as I glanced over the overnight largely disappointing cinemas, it occurred to me just how fantastic the overall B-C gradient is over our side of the hemisphere. Perhaps more raw potential explosive power, untapped, than I've ever seen since becoming aware of this shit back in 1990+ ... But there's shot-gun pellet S/W that are all having trouble resonating and are just blasting past one another. We just need the large wave scales to curve more - which they are challenged to do ( again..) because the speed saturation.

Mmm it matters in shoulder seasons. March bombs for ex definitely benefit from a diabatic heat flux

What’s also interesting about that is that the ensemble derived PNA index progs from all the three majors have +1 to +1.5 burst. It’s really the operational runs that have not been nesting an event in that period of time. It makes me wonder if something might materialize in there with shorter notice - experimental.

I wish. Lol Xmas party with a different sphere

I had NWS’ snow prognostic in mind The results barely made the grade. In principle the snow area was shorted because in the fair sense we’d expect at least some mid ranged results … not just tickling chode hairs to validate a warning The southern region of the warned zones did fail altogether

I can't make this one, Ray - previous plans

Shoulda read, "Here we come a-wassailing OT thread" 'Wicked' was back in late October just sayn' ...heh, come to think of it, we kinda missed the opportunity last month. "Here we go a-gobblin'"

OH I'm a huge believer in non-Markovian memory in the systems of climate. The oceanic-atmospheric coupling is definitely got a memory where ( probably counter to a lot if intuition) the winter's positive(negative) meanders tend to foretell the summer's higher(lower) - this is more so on the positive side in present era, as the background state is a non-linear forcing that boosts the synergistic result in the direction. This is all immensely complex because it's not the Air, vs the Ocean in this sense, but the emergent property of the ocean-atmosphere quasi coupled state. If that emergent property lends to warmth, well? Sometimes the signal is buried in the noise, making all this an extra special kind of scary... Oh, like the whole world surging a whole degree C (2023) out of seemingly nowhere. hmm?

That +PNA is interestingly getting subtly more jacked with passing runs. Much more and we're dealing with bigger cold off-load at continental scales. Euro was very +PNA a week from this weekend. It keeps the total a little less amped in the ridging over the west, otherwise it's probably digging that S/W more ...
