Typhoon Tip

GGEM with 20C at 850s over SNE next Thursday - ...figures, waits 'till I explain how the heat looks like 88 to 91 variety then it puts up a 96er

Yeah that warmer interval's been showing up in the operational blend for quite awhile. It'll be 'home grown' heat though ... no SW release sourcing. There is a pretty consistently defined shear axis/weakly closed mid level feature along the Front Range region of the American west and it's blocking any thermal expulsion from taking place. Meanwhile, we still can laze the lower trop with days of near solstice insolation form the MV on east/NE... That'll be our source region for this... Kind of a low grade heat wave/risk. Maybe a 87 to 92er. The EPS seems to respect/orient the flow more discerned around a +NAO with a neutral PNAP ... though it too has the shear axis in the west preventative. But the GFS operational ...as is hugely always the case by the way, ablates and rasps heat and ridging at any excuse imaginable, so it dulls the construct to nuances that look offsetting. I'd probably go with the EPS over this Trump consortium modeled version that is intended to hide global warming...haha. I wonder what happens after that? I could almost see us getting this intro into summer heat bulge. Seems that happens a lot.. Summer heralds in with an early dome, then, the flow sort or relaxes into something less for the remainder of summer(s). In this case, I wonder if we end up with a fast flow NW summer ... heat always being shunted SW making the GFS look right for the wrong reasons

N. VT may escape the BD's influence as is typically the case...The old 'hook around' pressure pattern even showing up on the Euro's low level layout through Saturday's arrival of cosmic dildo, which then the relentless pums through at least Monday evening... Heh. I mean, it may not be that long but, I noted this earlier in the week and it still looks the same. The models et al are not allowing the BD's high pressure region to actually settle SE of the region in a timelier fashion ...such that we get fisted by the NE intrusion, then, the wind settles off into a SE flow indeterminately long with no veering back to SW. It seems the TV whirl, the one and the same that was supposed to originally seriously f-up the east coast weather for days on end but somehow miraculously suppressed SW too far to do so... may have the last laugh. Because it takes 30 hours for it's weak echo in the troposhere to move S of the region, and as it does, it still has enough mechanical last gasp of intent and purpose to clog up the works and causes the high pressure to squeeze E as opposed to S... We get two days of milder/warm air, today and tomorrow, and then we pay for it twice as long - we just can't get out of it. The warden knows and punishes us for trying. lol.. Joking.. Anyway, up there y'all at least won't have the mixing with the Labradorian heat sink death chill, so you can still cash in on high sun angle/offsetting... Plus, when you see the low level pressure pattern sort of 'oozing' around the elevations of the Greens and Whites like that, it usually means the midriff elevations on up may be over top of the poison. For the rest of us? We choke on Labrador cryo farts until next Tuesday. Altho ( here's the hook that will trigger Kevin's spin machine ) ...I did notice that the recent global models tried to back off maybe a little on Saturday... It's probably noise. The 12z NAM has got 25 kts sustained out of the ENE peeling paint off of shore road buildings from beach sand with Logan T1 temp of 7 C by Saturday night... eesh

Lol, nice opportunity to curmudgeonly soapbox. Sociopaths... period that's it. Sociopathy in humanity is far more pervasive - and hidden- as a social crisis than anyone from the intellectual ranks of social-sciences to regular folks are really aware. Oh, the former carry the brand and PHDs and all that ... but they are all clueless. Sociopathy comes in gray form. There are 'compartmental' sociopaths (CEOs and COPs). Broad-spectrum sociopaths ( Serial killers). Conditional sociopaths ... (snap/anger/violent personality disorders that are transient - 'wasn't aware of my rage' types). All these types of head-spaces are unencumbered by limitations of morality and empathy, and therefore, tend to excel to become leaders. Humanity's interesting in that way.. We have a hierarchical social command structure that is instinctual... and, based upon alpha-beta-gamma, but the best suited to alpha roles are the ones that in fact cut ties with empathy and make decisions without moral implications. It's kind of a paradox - ...But, no, what is really happening is that they are viruses, mimicking the responsible leaders, who also have to make tough decisions at times - because both types make decisions that are tough, so they seem like the same character. That's the DNA that gets the virus into the cell... after that? Mmm, they are motivated for different reasons. The sociopaths are self-centered, deceptive while doing it... or in/for the special interest group ideology. While the 'responsible leaders' really are thinking about the welfare of all. Add in post Industrial Revolution, convenience addling --> thoroughly ( thus ) stupefied civility ... this doesn't provide a very effective detection of assholes, who are thus more able to ascend these to heads of state and corporations because society is too distracted/pacificied in their resource orgasm sniff them out during their ascent. Well, dams fail because of it all... It's always happened, but it just happens more now.

Whatever MOS has for Sunday over SNE, shave 10 more off ... as a beginning estimate/correction need - That is a wall of eastern Canada cold that is mixing with Labradorian heat sink ... it will get colder than any guidance says with that synopsis over the weekend. It's interesting the old argument-causing nemesis down in the TV may just get a last laugh too...because even the Euro is using its ghost/barely discernible echo to still have enough mechanics to block up the works and prevent the surface pressure pattern from otherwise evolving the BD air mass S of our latitude. Thus, with the pressure pattern forced to escape east, that drills an east wind into Boston clear 'till the middle o' next week... So it becomes the BD that keeps on butt bangin' long after the initial synopsis that caused it is gone. I swear...there's something synergistically curses about New England. This area is just defaulted with reasons to stay colder than anywhere else... Even NW NS ends up warmer than Logan airport next week, and this is something I've noticed about this geography every year, too... It's a weird kind of planetary-circumstantial cold dumpster. I'm willing to hunch ... if one were to scale the equations of influences on this region, and remove all factors less than the super-synoptic construct, that remaining larger default canvas is actually a NE wind here. We just don't see it because the pattern din is always in off-set that masks it...but that governing effect means that these sort of 'cool bias' permutations tend to happen here more than elsewhere - exaggerated by seasonal lag -attributed to CC too

I'm nervy about that Euro evolution, latter day 6 through the end of day 8 with it's high pressure handling... That happened all last summer and the summer before, and...here we are just starting summer, and the Euro flags this attempting to do so again, right out of the gate. What is happening there is the big high pressure comes down, and when it ebbs ...instead of receding seaward to the SE ... it recedes E. That retards the return flow from setting up.. so less importing continental warm conveyor into the region. We end up with SE oceanic contamination under 850s that would otherwise support mid 80s. It's just an outlook...might change... but this was consummate last summer and the summer before, and seeing it in the model is annoying. When this first showed up in the model(s) as a tendency a couple summers ago I thought it was odd because it's leaving big open space in the lower pressure pattern SW of Bermuda and the adjacent SW Atl Basin in general, but it actually started verifying. It's like there is an unusually large gap there...perhaps an expression of summer-time CC on the general circulation of the subtropics?? could be - ...the easterlies are expanding N. It's interesting how something like that could cause NE to be cool because of the transitive effect of anchoring high pressures from getting south of us. I swear... this geographic region is just indeterminately cursed to stay cooler than everywhere else...

OH, I see what your meaning... Nah, I'd suggest you try and correct toward climo on BD's ...by first admitting they exist at all - that'd be a good start...Then, admitting they effect/affect the weather in CT... Then, in the fourth stage of recovery, acceptance; ...that's when/if there is ever any hint of one on the charts, and in this case, there is a yelling siren... you automatically throw your products out and go more pessimistic as a general rule of thumb and wisdom.

ALL the models show that the f' are you looking at

Depends... 500 mb heights and total thickness would support it, but ... the lower levels may have to contend with a heavily sloped inverted sounding from NE undercut. I'm not sure what your familiarization is with New England climate ... being that you are clearly pretty new to actual science and data ... but we have a phenomenon we refer to as "backdoor cold fronts" - the overall synopsis leading into Saturday highly favors the production of one, and when they arrive they typically dont' terminate momentum until they've effectively "filled in" the space east of the Berkshires ...down along the I-95/surrounding coastal plain, considerably farther down the Eastern Seaboard than one might immediately think.

I actually mentioned this tongue-in-cheek yesterday or the day before, myself... But not just related to that particular metric, the whole construct of this week is exceedingly rare. We don't typically deposit middel/upper level troposphere cut-offs toward the EC, have them retrograde and instead results in total in utopica weather. That's like never happened in May that I can see, and Tim's little inset analysis is really just sort of "genetically" linkable to that whole oddity in general.

OH, that's a flag taut-ing screen door slammer BD signal there on Saturday all the way ... Talking 35 kt pulse and tree tops swaying. That overall synoptic evolution with that sort of big deep impulse rotating down and through the Maritimes and its backside mid level gravity well confluence is going to pile up the mass of Jupiter at in the lower levels and send it's gelid hell to Maryland in that look. I could almost see that strata decking in with 48 F at Lowell Saturday by 2pm... with Kevin claiming the BD's never going to get there when it's already 50 miles past 'im. I'm being hyperbole but yeah...I'd go under on the cooler, too to be honest. That's the best the resolution the current technology can see and if it is that coherent, at this time range, with the detail of curved pressure contouring that looks like the front of a spilled bread batter lobing in from the NE, it's probably a cold fist in the lowest 200 mb quite a bit under-justly depicted - cold! The only way we get out of that is to have the governing eddie just not work out that way with that Maritime impulse and backside confluence. That said...it looks sooo boringly typical frankly. We are on the doorstop of a hemispheric heat look, so what happens? We get 30 hours of heat, then we recess back to bone cold ...only to agonize when the warm front turns back around a day or two later. It like always does that total evolution... Starts to heat up...get a warm afternoon, pay some kind of persecution tax where everyone else east of Mississippi gets days of heat but we have to suffer 36 hours... Heat comes back ahead of the cold front, we effectively lost out on longevity.

Could be ... I mean can't be high confidence from this far out, but, sometimes after a cool 40 days you'll correct things - whether in a couple of passes or in the aggregate.

I'd say looking over the hemispheric metrics we have 20% chance for an above ... perhaps much above normal period of time between the 25th of May and open-ended TBD. 20% pretty dern high for this far out in time - GEFs tele's came on board and are well matched by those abroad, though typically weakening in their coefficients, however the EPS is simulating a pervasive and very robust geopotential departure that is in concerted agreement ... and has been in wait for many cycles.

Right - or a road trips... Cloudy, dry and 70 ...

I'm just amazed ... I thought that some how ...some inkling of a way, another shoe would fall on this week and maybe this Euro run being right on top of matters might get us more influence from that thing ... but nope. Every run just gets less and less and now it's hard to discern how that directly affects anyone NE of NYC at all.. Considering where we were five days ago with that - wow. I mean yeah ...one can say, 'well, it was a day five outlook' - true... But climo for this region supports this happening NEVER

Buffalo gnats .. we don't seem to get those down here in quite the swarm annoyance that y'all seem to cut the air with up there. I wonder why ... We get regular gnats but ..I haven't really ever noticed being bitten by them so I can only assume our gnats are not the same. I think gnats and buffalo gnats/black flies must be a different. But we do gnat more in late spring here than July... Actually, shortly after I entered my car close to dusk last night there was a skeeter bobbing around trying to get through the glass - we got that and the gin up of 'EEE' to look forward to... That, plus, I was reading that tick borne illness are likely going to be a big problem - though that's not garnering any headline space now, no.

It's funny how we all have our thing... For me, I don't really care about the direct sun 'as much' as I do the temperature. That's particularly true during the spring when I'd prefer to have on with the warm season, ...yet at times we recess ... If it's wet while that's happening, forget it! ugh. I'll take a 70 F day with orb disk through elevated haze and thinning OVC, which describes today where I am, and it's really nice. Other's seem to really want the blue with lazing sun to get there emotionally.

I mean I'm sorta baffled at this thing's failure to do what every system between March 15 and June 15 has done since Pangaea broke apart... One does not ever see hints of catastrophic cool misery on the guidance and end up with utopia anywhere in this god-forsaken geography. Seriously tho, if one pays attention to the isohypses, we actually never even really get into any influence from that deeper tropospheric ordeal that lodges into the TV ... And by the time it could, it's just a TUTT really that's not even closing a contour as a dent.. . The GGEM and GFS operational both have a pretty spectacular BD signature for Saturday now...Not sure if this was present on prior runs but I'm just noticing it now either way. I gotta figure, we miss this thing as verboten and then pay dearly with with 48 F PSM air fisting bums while it's +12 C at 850 that afternoon - mm hmm..

I was just noticing that same vis imagery/looping showing the clearing is really accelerating S .. May actually make it here to Rt poop before sundown... and also, ahead of the definitive line now entering the latitudes of CNE proper...there are thin regions in NE Mass/S NH... Those temps in Mass are too cool though

Yeah ... I'm with Will ... better off this way because his being "wrong" about the temperatures means we're in a relative ( though still shit-eating) win scenario with only cooler than normal but lots of sun. Although interestingly NAM MOS has bounced to 71 at KFIT on this 12z run, as early as tomorrow (Tue) afternoon here in the interior. What's interesting is that Wed is now cooler despite even more synoptic metrics indicating unabated blazing solstice sun. My guess is that 64 gets squeezed closer to 70 too ... This almost never happens? You have to appreciate the rarity of getting near utopia ( west of I-95/ ... I-495!) weather out of any suggestion at all, when in antecedent middle range ever even hints gelid misery in New England, in spring. Given absolute least excuse imagined... any suggestion for so much as shade in mid/ext range modeling at this time far more likely results in pan-dimensional, red- eyed straight-jacket apoplexy. But this... ? four days ago we bathed in Labrador death mist as a 2005 micro-redux ... then, having it go to what is modeled now.? It almost feels verboten - like we're going to be punished for such insolent expectation. I don't think has happened, ever. Models don't break wrongly beautiful over this region of the planetary/atmospheric realm - fascinating. Beyond today, this week's sensible weather may as well be a 1 in 500 year return rate oddity, and achievement that will go completely unheralded and unnoticed. tongue-in-cheek

Perfect ! ...my plan is complete -

Mmm... to be fair and more realistic - Will was dealt a highly anomalous augmentation to a pattern that really there was no way to foresee - that's a bit different than being 'incorrect' Whereas you on the other hand? Much of the time you couldn't hit a wall throwin' shit, yetstill managed to get some to stick on this particular toss - hahaha

What a bizarre evolution that U/A cut-off and total surroundong synoptic evolution takes for the sole intent of making Will wrong and Kevin right. Lol Kidding... It's plausible that after all those postings ... we never even deal with that thing at all. Once the Euro gets to 12z Wednesday it may as well be a TUTT at that point. The Euro just keeps getting less and less. Its not gonna be warm until Thurs afternoon tho. Thursday and Friday look like down right utopic in this run. Like 39 F DPs with 850s' over 10 C, full sun and winds west at zephyr speeds. Actually Tuesday and Wednesday aren't that bad either if an east wind doesn't bother you much - the sun will help tho.

But again .. that’s the virtual reality of the Euro

In fact that makes spatial reasoning sense from the synoptic point of view because about the time that migration takes place the cold loading from the Maritimes is breaking down so we woukd be transitioning into a continental pattern at that point washed in afterward.
