IsentropicLift Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 The American Weather Forum has issued a *****MASSIVE WEENIE SUICIDE ALERT***** For the following..... OPPRESSIVE HEAT AND HUMIDITY LOVERS This Alert is in effect until further notice! Details... The massive heat ridge advertised to traverse the continent during the upoming week has been bounced and replaced with a big, fat trough centered along the east coast. In addition, most global models are now developing a tropical or sub-tropical cyclone near the Carolina coast early next week and then track it up the coast or just offshore towards the 4th of July weekend. Please stay tuned to American Weather Forums for more updates on this developing situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoSki14 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Well you really don't need huge heat for things to feel uncomfortable outside, these past couple of days have been very humid and uncomfortable regardless of a lack of 95+ readings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All we need is for the ridge to shift a hundred miles further west and the heat stays completely away and this little baby tracks right up the beaches.

In fact, Sandy is the only one of these I remember happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliancolton Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 It's likely a phantom storm. We've had plenty of false alarms like these before. In fact, Sandy is the only one of these I remember happening. No way. A 200+ hour Euro surface chart warrants ample discussion in at least two regional subforums and a couple TC forecasting threads for good measure. OTOH, I'd be down for some kind—any kind—of interesting weather. 0.3" of rain last night didn't cut it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsentropicLift Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 That phantom storm on the Euro develops in the next 48 hours. Plus the NHC is acknowldeging it and so are the mets in the main forum. 000ABNT20 KNHC 261726TWOATTROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOKNWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL200 PM EDT THU JUN 26 2014For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:An area of low pressure could form and linger off of thesoutheastern coast of the United States by late this weekend orearly next week.

IsentropicLift Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 The storm also has plenty of support on the 12z ECMWF individual ensembles. Looks like a prolific rain producer as the moisture associated with it surges northward and interacts with a stalled frontal boundray near the east coast.

SnoSki14 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I think it's legit, that area off the SE coast is really the one area this season were conditions are favorable enough for any tropical/subtropical systems to develop. The SSTs are above normal along the east coast and it's the only area where shear is normal to below normal. A storm like Bob is also very plausible this season.

IsentropicLift Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Regarding a more immediate threat, looks like some storms firing in central NY. 18z 4k NAM has them passing over the region between 7-9PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SSTs are above normal along the east coast and it's the only area where shear is normal to below normal. A storm like Bob is also very plausible this season. That area is not only in the typical sweet spot for July development but also in an area of relatively weak shear as compared to the Carribean and the rest of the tropics. It should remain in relatively weak stiring currents and in an area with above normal ocean heat content. Not to mention it should be developing right over the gulf stream.

The ensemble mean does have a frontal wave development just off the coast. We'll have to wait and see how close to the coast this ends up in later runs. Even if a little further east, we'll still see a cooler 4th with a NE wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A possible outcome is that it sits off the Carolina coast for days in the weak stiring and sends waves of convection northward. Of course this has to happen while I'm going to be on vacation in Virgina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to do the Busch Gardens, Water Country USA, Williamsburg thing with the GF. Also heading down to Norfolk to see a minor leauge baseball game. Torrential rain isn't exactly conducive for any of those activites. I guess I might get what I've been begging for and getting it with horrible timing.

I guess I might get what I've been begging for and getting it with horrible timing. I wouldn't worry about this thing making it inland just yet since development is just starting down there as this loop shows and the exact direction and intensity/coverage is still in question -BUT with all the bad luck the Jersey shore has had the last few years a wash out for the July 4th weekend from a strong offshore or very close to the shore storm that possibly could close the beaches would have a really negative economical impact http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/goes/east/eaus/wv-animated.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not worried yet but it looks wet even if we don't get true development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the best scenario would be that the front clears the coast and the heaviest rain falls offshore. Still to early to tell yet, but there could be NE to N flow in any event which would keeps temps near or even below normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoSki14 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 This is still a huge IF right now, and doesn't warrant more than occasional monitoring. The July 4th weekend is probably the biggest shore weekend of the year and any kind of monkey wrench in it would be very unfortunate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IsentropicLift Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 While not completely committing to it yet WPC seems to think that the end of next week could be a wet one with some sort of tropical low or hybrid off the Carolina coast next Friday and moisture surging north along the front. As you can see they currently depict the front to be progressive enough to salvage Friday. Stay tuned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEXtreme Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 The heat talk and 90's is turning into a big bust. You might get a day or two in the upper 80's before the 4th and that's about it. From the 4th through the holiday weekend looks mighty cool from the middle of the nation to the mid Atlactic and NE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsentropicLift Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 When was the last time that the NHC popped a lemon well inland? They are still going 20% chance of development in the 48-120hr outlook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
