Feb 28th-March 1st long duration Miller B threat
brooklynwx99 replied to George001's topic in New England
FWIW i do think this is thread worthy. but why does it have to be prefaced like that -
GEFS has much more confluence than 12z and a more amped S/W. the GEFS usually follows the GFS at this range, but i’ll take it. it’s a good shift

Feb 28th-March 1st long duration Miller B threat

dude. -
futility
-
one more shift like this and NYC-BOS is hammered. the block is slowing down and amplifying the flow
-
everyone is going to win here. wow wow wow.
-
this is a definitive shift towards the ECMWF. stronger block forcing more confluence. S/W is more amped as well. all things we want to see
-
not to get off topic, but I actually rank 2016 as a good to great winter. can't be a bad winter when you have a record-breaking blizzard IMO. just doesn't make sense to me but also, we don't really have snowpack or anything like that in NYC, so it's more of a bonus than anything... the lack of other snow doesn't bother me there
-
because it's the least skillful and it has a noticeable progressive bias with coastals I don't think anyone is discounting it, it's just that the EPS is holding strong, we're getting to 5 days, and other models are moving towards it. the GFS can be put on the backburner in those situations
-
EPS made some good changes here slightly stronger 50/50, which leads to the block nudging further W slightly higher heights over the SW US - increases amplitude of the incoming S/W then there's also a stronger and more E lobe of vorticity N of MT that increases phasing potential the blossoming of riding in SE Canada north of the S/W is also indicative of a blocking regime... it can't gain latitude like that and is then forced to redevelop offshore. this is getting close to looking really damn good. give it a few more days this kind of setup favors New England, but potent Miller B setups can still deliver significant snow to the NYC metro. there are a bunch of <990mb members
-
this type of setup can impact NYC to Boston. I would feel worse if I was in Philly, but many Miller Bs do heavily impact that axis. would be a bit silly to count the NYC metro out at this range I feel like this is the straw that breaks the back of persistence
-
this is the feature that I'm referring to, btw, if it was unclear. this essentially prevents the S/W from gaining latitude and forces it to go offshore. this feature was more downstream of the S/W yesterday, causing it to gain latitude rather than where it is now
-
and look at those redevelopers as a result. sheesh. this is easily the best look that we've had at this range all year
-
yup, EPS made some good changes here slightly stronger 50/50, which leads to the block nudging further W slightly higher heights over the SW US - increases amplitude of the incoming S/W then there's also a stronger and more E lobe of vorticity N of MT that increases phasing potential the blossoming of riding in SE Canada north of the S/W is also indicative of a blocking regime... it can't gain latitude like that and is then forced to redevelop offshore. this is getting close to looking really damn good. give it a few more days
-
I agree. this has to do with the development of the -NAO and the semi-permanent confluence that it's forcing as a result. the synoptic evolution makes sense I'm excited for the EPS
-
that's ok. I'll roll the dice with that setup. that 50/50 and -NAO is essential for a larger storm, so it's good to see that
-
not even over yet. I mean holy shit, this synoptic setup is pretty great a true -NAO with a massive 50/50 suppressing heights over the NE US. might cut verbatim, but that's what you want to see for a larger coastal
-
i do like this. huge 50/50 and -NAO dipole with a S/W coming out of the SW US. might not work verbatim, but there are some big pieces here
-
nice was an understatement. that is a full blown blizzard verbatim
-
the confluence forcing the S/W south makes sense here as the -NAO strengthens. I don't think this is the ECMWF doing anything odd, and the GFS should correct if the block is real. this is a typical response to blocking, and it's why the NE US usually does well with these patterns
-
looks like it's similar to 00z. nice storm for everyone
-
look how the stronger block and increased confluence separate the S/W of interest from the main trough and force it S... this is what we want to continue to see if we want a favorable outcome with this system
-
NYC metro peeps could say the same about Feb 5 2010. give us that setup and we're getting 12-18", but we got cirrus either way, what a 12z GFS run. even the CMC was nice. let's see if we can keep that block and 50/50 on the ensembles for a bit. if, so it could be legit
-
you're telling me... christ
-
and yes, the end of this month and March should be worlds better than January. January had zero cold air... you have no shot there at least now, if a storm takes a favorable track, it's going to snow. we have a good source region. cold air is much more important. can't snow without it
