Typhoon Tip

Mm... actually, that's a little less discerned compared to yesterday. When I mentioned that above, I had not yet seen last night's publication - That's still impressive enough, but discrete product read: that's about -1 in the mean there - not sure how 'historic for May' that really is? I think I've seen May pNA handling that deep. Yesterday this product demoed a curve where every member was declining through the -2 axis line there. The MJO is weakened in the RMM ... but the weekly publication/PDF published just yesterday tries to bullet point tell us the RMM is 'artificially' weakening the wave strength and placement - as in false, if I am to gather what they are after. They cite obscure aspects with ENSO coupling with normal seasonal change .., obscuring the RMM forecasts, but I am not sure I buy it. Here, https://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/precip/CWlink/MJO/mjoupdate.pdf I think with the lingering ...albeit collapsing La Nina ENSO foot print finally being able to express/transmit more forcing into the westerlies now that the seasonal gradient/CC surplus is dropping and the velocity along with it... the MJO is in fact more favored to be real - not the other way around. Now, they have PHD's and million dollar technologies working together down in those labs so... But, I like things to be logical, regardless of what dimension of reality I personally hail from LOL In NCEP's defense...the AO is modestly negative ... (as is the NAO...) ..these are more correlated with left-RMM phase spaces. The over-arcing problem then also being that these mass-field correlations get less useful ...particularly JJA, as we know - it may be too early just yet to discount? The individual members of the GEFs, the same one that provides the -NAO, dont' look very -NAO as individuals on either D6 or 10...yet somehow together their EOF/ .. functional output still gives us negative roots. The thing that's weird about these teleconnectors is that they are not really UNcorrelated in summer. What they really are, is noisy correlated - so much so that the linear stats end up with N/S or approaching N/S correlation coefficients. But it's really much more like "conditionally correlative" If the pattern footprint is supporting -PNA... the PNA may correlate better during that summer... same with the NAO... It's all a popsicle headache

Can I ask you question - You seem pretty spiritually committed to a particular sub-genera of Meteorological phenomenon, one that could only be more systemically inhibited in this region of the planetary-atmospheric coupled climate if it were located oh, say... 20 miles outside Amundsen-Scott, South Pole Reasearch Facility amid the -50 C cryo-misted barrens of Ross Ice Sheet, Antarctica ... Big big TCU there man, no doubt! You have a degree in Meteorology. You are young. Go west young man. Find your home and plug into the realm you were meant - apparently - to be a part. Staying here ? It's like staying in an abusive relationship because one has some unconscious fulfillment of persecution complex - haha... I mean, start hammering away at finding jobs... f* Met gigs for now. You can find some way to pay for an appartment and spend all your free time doing grad courses on-line and eventually hell... 10 years from now you'd still be young with your foot in the door at the operations branch of NSSL ... maybe - Point is, you don't know you can't until you try. Unless you have some entanglements of life that have you manacled to this area ...If so, that's sad and I'm sorry ... Otherwise, get the f outta here man and find her - the metaphoric "her" ..you know what mean

GFS introduced this late yesterday and has persisted with it since. It carries a pattern defeating nasty SPV extension/quasi-closed buzz-saw through southern Canada ...spanning it's entire mid and extended range to do it, ending up with it still on the charts festering a cold hell over eastern Canada/NE by and through Day 10. The Euro has never had this feature since yesterday's runs. The GEFs individual members: looks like about 50% of them offer tepid support for troughing at D10 over New England, ... none as deep as the operational that I can tell. While the other 50% offers a bit more support for a different/flat ridge or robust ridge signal over eastern North American mid latitudes. Meanwhile, for the 7 days in the row, the nightly telecon handling of the PNA indicates a marked and concerted decline among the members ... downs -2 or -3 SD and still falling at D10. The means and -PNA et al ...supports the operational Euro more. It matters for spring/warm enthusiasts. The Euro would has every day 72, 74, 76, 78, 82, 84 ... type of steady warming... Clouds would be the only limiting factor... ending on D10 with a discerned synoptic ridge and established continental warm conveyor in the bottom half of the troposphere from the SW U.S. to Maine.. Basically 180 degrees opposite in synoptic layout to the GFS by the end of that run, which has sad buzz saw still cutting into the flow and denying any of the Euro's evolution from about D5 onward.

Firstly, it's May 11 ... Now I'm no expert at load balancing but it seems to me there are more days of May yet to come ? Secondly, even considering the dearth of activity as a result: that's typical for May in this region since I've lived here, and it seems less like a joke, and more like spring being spring in NE. Anecdotally .. I seem to recall more of our "severe" ( our version of what severe means anyway ...) as being a June and July thing... It's almost like the termination latitude of the "severe band" if you will, that starts around the Gulf states in mid February, ...then TX/ ... west TX by say early April ... moving N to OK/KAN over to the TV in mid April... Then up toward IA/IL/ S. Lakes to OH/ western PA by mid to late May ... weakening as it goes as far as 'how severe' ... I mean you can obviously still get an EOF5 ... Worcester had one in 1953 that was/is imprisoned in the historic annuls as a EF4 by a 'storm-racist' policy ... It's the Ruben "Hurricane" Carter tornado ...LOL. Anyway ... New England' severe season is like the band at its weakest by the time it gets here and May is too early.

That’s a weird sounding Wednesday ... could 72 in the 00z NAM with 538 dm thicknes. Not sure I recall ever seeing that. Unusual. No wonder it’s LIs near 0 This cold pool is getting wrecked by the sun

Heh ... reminds me of that age old truism about everyone can’t be rich. the problem is a form of inflation .. Not so much printing mire money, just the valuation trickery - which may be inevitable eventually as any capitalism ages and unavoidable - the intention of profit doesn’t really ever ceiling. It’s inevitably always increasing, dependable over valuing everything given time and speculation’s conversions into appreciation Eventually ... eggs and toast get too difficult ... forget menial savings .. quality of life declines spread out over the ballast population, which now has an advocate like never before for their plights in the same vein as ‘no child left behind’ etc etc But wage increases to even the game - even if its proportionately laughable and not “evening” jack squat. It’s not big corporation that’s footing the bill - it’s mid size down to start ups ... pure capitalism eats its self inevitably but the expose’ is a wildcard - people May one day stop blaming government ... Might be an interesting watershed era if/when that happens

Right ..and of course, you have to vet the source the claims that vaccine is still necessary, to make sure they are unaffiliated -

Man... Euro's Fri/Sat in a dead heat for top scoring on best days of the season thus far. WNW d-slope flow under 850 mb of +6 C by day ends under a solar max sun, of course that's predicated on the amount of sun ... The basic synoptic/coarse parameters look like 77 F with people driving off roads across fields for having slipped into comas operating heavy machinery on heroin type days - Thing about the Euro, I've noticed it tends to be a bit much with its RH fields at 300, 500, and 700 mb levels in its mid/ext ranges. So, I'm not sure with steadily rising heights those days, and a surface ridge stalled over PA enforcing katabatic flow through NE ..if we're really going to be that overcast ... I bet that's sunnier.

I wonder if that comes down to getting cutesy with the modeling parameters specific to geo-classing at regions ... ? I remember pretty clear and cleanly the early stuff from the 1980s and 1980s that was papered on the subject - I know it was significantly more coarse... It's interesting that these later generations are contrary perhaps at more regional scales - I wonder if they 're-ran' those early versions, if they still suggest heavier rain-fall. As far as the 2010 to 2040 ... that may fail, or succeed ... I mean, if get into a drying/drought mode more signIficant at at continental scale, we drop snow anyway - it's an ambrosia of opportunity to mislead due to conflicting layers that 99.9999% of audiences have no f'ing clue how to critically absorb - LOL

They will get it wrong because there is no responsibility to real science and vetting practices in media - or eroding ...badly, but - the snow "increase" in the first place was predicted by climate models to occur in a warming atmosphere that holds more PWAT density going into precipitation mechanics. I mean that pertains to all of it.. Not just snow. Rain too... It's not like we dismiss climate change - just wanna make that clear...seeing as despite the drought in New England -LOL... Simply put, they'd be wrong over that as a signal, when the signal is/was the anticedent increase before they got to it. I think- -personally ... what happens is that it continues to snow harder relative to storm, pattern, and seasonal climate inferences ... either scale or dimension, until it declines because more and more of it gradually begins to occur as liquid rain. Who knows when that will be... But obviously, we can always have seasonal anomalies that are at times anti-correlating anyway - those'll get f'up too

Mm ... that started the moment along the era-time gone past when the Industrial Media Complex realized how to turn every thumb swipe, mouse click, or television channel ping into a means to moving monies and make profit ... Or, to your point - maybe what you say is just exposing the same phenomenon from a different turn of phrasing... Either way, when the IMC wired economics around informatics, we were doomed to ever see or hear of anything from a truly honest, nor unadulterated delivery. I mean, they always made ..or attempted to do so, make money off news but it's now seems it approaches unconstrained equivocation (or constrained by the 'ethics of profit' ether which means the former - ) Not meaning to bloviate at anyone ...but I cannot impress enough that the urgency of real nature only comes at you at the 'scary' rate of what you see, right now, standing up, walking to the window, and gazing out at the hillsides all afternoon until they fade under the auburn sky of sunset into darkness. Yet, you'll find yourself still standing there ...waiting. Somewhere in the mise en science of the spectacle they create, the engineering to super stimulate people into continuing to swipe, click and ping media tech... there are kernels of dismissible truth, or at worse manageable crisis ... guess what? - somewhere else. Maybe every 100 years some island sinks somewhere ... It's perhaps hard to get people's heads outside of the media bubble ... but nothing out there is really all that real. It's just exposing - nothing more.

Hard to tell which way this will morph .. the D6/7 ... 10 range. Toe dip version: The EPS, GEPs are in solid agreement and match the operational versions well within error expectation for this sort of time lead... and the coup de gras is that the GFS's own ensemble mean is punching the floor out from underneath the PNA mode... so, I'm willing to haunch and hedge on the side of significant and more 'personal penetrating appeal of warmth' ( hopefully that offends at least someone!). Not sure about how much, but I could see 70/50 .. (milder nocturnal) particularly D8-10, then ranging to 80/60 ... for now. Those could be conservative ranges. In fact, D3-6 may end up balmy just be high sun through +6 at 900 mb. Can't account for clouds...But the signal's been gaining momentum in the dispersive telecon layout ( Americans), but also in the said ensembles. Longer version: The 00z synoptics of the GGEM and Euro operational runs off the 00z cycle were in impressive overall agreement across that run of days out there. They both materials rather obvious -PNAP pattern, featuring a Great Basin type trough anchor, mass balanced well/coupled by a +1 ... +2 improving height anomalies, spanning 100 to 70 W in girth and stacked clear to the 70th latitudes over eastern Canada... The GFS is having trouble committing to the ridge aspect in the N, though - an aspect I am suspicious of. For one, I want the ridge and heat at this time of year ? Mm hm. I admit that... and, admit to my human difficulties in resisting the that transcended allure of thigh tones exposed below the hem-line of the GGEM and Euro's synoptic mini-skirt looks. Because they so well sync up with those desires ... I may have difficulties resisting. Struggling for objectivity in the debate ... I cannot help but wonder if the operational GFS is just doing what I warned it would do, ..back in DJF of this recent winter, which is never allow warm domes and ridging to bloom over eastern N/A during ensuing warmer months. Why? Because it has a kind of "quota" problem with lowering heights too much above the westerlies/ ambient N, over the northern latitudes ... It appears to be a cumulative aspect, as well, where it is subtle or even not there in the short side of the short range, ... ranging 1 to 3 dm ( so still unnoticed) of error by 72 hours ...then, 6 or so dm by 144 hours... etc... 12 out there by D10. Look at the 00z operational Euro over Canada and compare? Note the circuitous 546dm hgt isopleth by 168 hours: at most points along that line the GFS ends up farther south than the Euro ( or the GGEM in this case...). That's not intended to suggest these latter two are inherently more likely to be correct than the GFS; however, since the GFS is ALWAYS doing this... I find it hard to believe that it is ALWAYS right ... ( piece of shit..) Hyperbole a little, sure. Probably, in some weird inversion of error mechanics, ...the day it does admit to a D10 pattern change/ridge, it'll do a 2017er/July thing maybe... What this does: Because it ends up with excessively lowered heights across those polar-side domains, colder north means the flow everywhere has to integrate with more gradient (due to obvious height compression therein...). +d(Gradient) = +d(velocity). As an aside, an aspect of the model's bias that is buried insidiously because the flow all over the planet has been/is faster than normal, anyway - probably owing to the HC expansion mechanics noted since 1974 as part of CC..etc..etc. How deliciously deceptively hidden that is ... Anyway, this then runs on to effect the kinematic of aspects such as wave migration speed, wave morphologies at all scales really... but it is particularly notable in causing too much 'progressive' .. or flat faster synoptic evolution. Faster flow doesn't like curved surfaces ... But it is also counter-intuitively adding mechanical power into individual waves. It just happened up here off the coast with that NW Atlantic storm this last week.. The GFS was too deep with cold heights leading, then, the faux gradient it accumulated creates a local synergistic bias ( constructive interference with the S/W wind max(es) ) ... such that the governing S/W ends up stem winding and bombing the low ... Boo rah the Euro for not serving that shit. The Euro's got its own bag of annoyances to consider every run, too ... which can give rise to amplitude biases in the mid/extended range ... it just gets there through different means. Along it's 00z cinema, it appears to over-asses has little tough nodes at D3 and again D6 ...which still allow for the ridge evolution but they are likely not going to be as deep/evolved - so if anything the 'correction vector' with those is to think they'll be less interfering in reality.

Yup... this is what is referred to in statistics&analysis as an 'outlier' - an anomaly relative to the mean of a much larger data density. - you know that ... just sayn' I mean obviously, when by virtue of shear size of an 'event arena' in nature, that concomitantly means there are/apt to be differential environments contained within said arean ... any one of which can and will response to event arrival/passage through at different rates based upon blah blah internal favorable vs unfavorable aspects. Doesn't Maine engage in a lot of those 'keys in the fishbowl' parties ? ...just kidding Maine likely isn't the only place that is 'nook' bucking trends - ... but yeah, doesn't do or say much to help the attitudes of those in/around any lingering festering ulcers on the map of COVID, no

Me neither. Altho I was never really in or around any kind of hot zone ... still the last diag was early March - nada since. Un or sort of related, I’m sensing a growing indifference ...maybe issue exhaustion. But yeah anecdotal ... I suspect the greater accounting of those who got it and resolved over the fewer that rang up 100 grand in med bills might be getting people to mutter to themselves

Talked to momma for 1 1/2 hrs on the phone today. Heh ... I figured since she gave me 9 months + 18 years of patience we should be even now. Fauci... “...time to rethink the indoor mask mandate. “ citing vaccine numbers. As in be more liberal I was noticing ... 260 million one dosed. So what ... 260 m @ 78% protection .. we should already be seeing a taper off of new cases - right? Logically the ambient risk has to already be substantially reduced - that’s just stat math.

May has been a winter month now 4 out of the last 6 years then.

66 here at noon ...

The cooling in the 70s also correlated with a resonate superposition in solar minimums - not as extreme as now ... but in the the 11 and 22 year cycles ... just fwiw

There's a personal preference for every degree on the temperature scale, and every watt per square meter along the sun on the dial. I have noticed a 'grousing bias' tendency during days of pall overcast. Doesn't even matter as much if it is dry - just cloudy. Hearkens to a touch of s.a.d. maybe? For me it is temperatures ... particularly, in the spring. Bad temperature days can get me a tad disillusioned ... and if there happens to be an over-arcing theme of Pandemic and climate catastrophe, gun violence, WOKE oppressive fascism and lack of getting laid, that makes the former magnified. It would be nice to put down the internet, television, ...iphones and the like, and wonder through parks and farmer's markets, arts shows and picnic venues, under a nape bake light wind conveying lilac memories instead of all that bleakness, huh - Still, at least it is not wet. At least the next time it is schedule to get wet, is overnight tomorrow night, leaving Sunday's sun and razor lower level warmth in light wind, unscathed. I don't think we're escaping the packing pellet air mass during the first half of the week - it may not do that under any virga busted cu fall, but the air mass would support it. And thus completing the 7th f'ing year in a row of stolen May calendar space in row, with this weird shit. I just hope that afterwards... round day 5, the Euro camp is right about the defined moderation of the 850 mb layout... In fact, from that point until D10 ..those 5 days show an abeyance of cold intrusions into the GL/OV/NE of 0C air at that baser metrical sigma level. With west wind tendencies much of the time, and no real apparent theta-e transport, that may finally get us into a 70+ actual repetition of subsequent afternoons for the first time. Not these drive-by warm pop shots followed by garden stunter CAA deals. This bs is causing our montly means to be above normal, while concealing how cold it is synoptically. Global warming seems almost as much about hiding itself insidiously - I wonder if the models forecast that: 'fantastically above normal while freezing ballz off'

Day 6 thru 10 of this 12z Euro please ... subtle fly in the ointment mid way through ...some cloud debris in the M/A to CT perhaps... but otherwise, 68 Thursday to 76 the following Sunday with weak gradient vectored off-shore, and low RH deep layer from the Lakes to the Maritimes ... Haven't seen a polish on that range of any guidance really since the phantom heat wave runs of early April.. heh. anyway, ...even tho the tele's are lowering in correlation, the PNA is falling and the NAO is neutralized in that area in the GEFs, and seeing this operational Euro fit with that spread is like ding dong the witch is dead appeal - Hopefully it really is... Oh, and the MJO is finally completely collapsed(ing)

and nano-tech !

I think we're talking about those extreme outlier events tho - ...those don't settle back and disappear so readily into the longer term mean smear, either way, and will still shine rather brightly above others in columnar of data. I mean sloppy example, +1, -1, +2, -3, -1, +4, +2, -1, +38, 0, +1, -7, -8, -2, +1, +27,.... etc.... The frequency of ostentatious giddy outliers is up. I think he wants to see those Matterhorn events in supposition to whether they are skewing due to frequencies. Single can be single day or maybe a week... That 80+ Feb day back in 2017? ...was embedded in a week of 60s to near 70 - don't quote. So that would be a standout series, true.

Bingo - and absolutely ... That's really been the ball game - when it "could be warm" ... verification goes way above - and we're not talking just busting warm side. Like seriously and creepy skewed. C'mon people... I've seen it nudge 80 in f'um February - get a grip and a fear... Lol... bunning it a little there for fun, but a 30+ high temp - ...heh. It seems immoral how little we have 'awed' in that just because of this predilection for snow and cold preoccupation of user compulsion in here. Ha ha, it's like asking the asylum to render an objective concern - hahahaha... I'm kidding ... but, it's like what my grandfather used to say about the Democrats - he was mid last century pedigree of Republican: " you give the bastards an inch and they'll take a mile" ...LOL The atmosphere has been doing that - the models give an inch of warm bias and we're buried under skyscraper temperatures. If a model outlook offers any sort of higher confidence warm patina to an outlooked synoptic complexion, you're all but guaranteed a 20 + departure. Boom. Bank it, smoke it do what you gotta do, but you're wearing shorts and t-shirts in February. In very short concise terms: Point departures of exceedingly large values are markedly increased in frequency since 2000. Monthly means may be getting weighted upward. I mean ... this is all predicated on the assumption of fact - but... I can assure you with 100% confidence.. .in the first 30 years of my life, I never ever saw 70 in Jan or Feb... Now, exposure to that sort of antic has me almost sort of use to it. Interesting...
