January Forecast Discussion

RE: the coastal, we've seen the players now and know how delicate this is. Things to watch out for today:

#1. Most important is the speed/timing of PAC energy that slams into British Columbia.

#2. Sharpness and duration of the PNA ridge, which are directly impacted by #1.

#3. Amplification of the trough along the EC downstream, which is directly impacted by #1 and #2

#4. High latitude blocking above Hudson Bay that locks in the PV over Hudson Bay to help keep cold air in

#5. Amount of northern stream energy dropping down from the rotating PV, which is directly impacted by #4. This also has a direct impact on the preceding overrunning event

#6. More specific to #5, look for that specific winter saving piece of energy dropping down into Minnesota/Lakes area around day 5/6, as this can mitigate some of the negative impacts of a faster PAC

 

Sheepshead, would you be kind enough to provide your analysis line by line based off of the GFS?

Sure, but not line by line. Too lazy.

 

GFS was slightly less favorable than last night's 0z run, but had a late phase with the northern stream and was out to sea. Yesterday at 0z, the GFS had no phase/coastal at all, so it's better overall. If we can get the northern stream energy to dive in 6-12 hours sooner, or more of the southwest energy to eject prior to the PAC flattening the PNA ridge, we're in business.

 

The Para was even closer to a big event (its best run yet), but also had a messy H5 phase in the east. One interesting point about the para is that there was a close miss on a triple phase, as the arctic jet phased with the northern jet, but the southern jet lagged behind.

 

GGEM as well...same situation.

 

Overall, PNA ridge has been sharper on 12z models and Northern stream has been more active. These are good signs. But, the PAC has been a stronger player and is flattening the flow in time to not allow any phase in the east to fully mature an east coast low. This is not good.

 

So much potential here. Anyone flatly dismissing the d6/7 threat at this juncture is foolish.

Overrunning on the surface of things (pardon the pun) looks worse so far after looking at the 12z runs. My initial inclination was to think the Confluence pressing down was being underdone, and H5 still looks favorable on these runs, so I will stick to that and the thought that this will be more frozen than wet. But, that's just me being pridefully. :) There will be a battle of air masses leading up to the overrunning. Impossible to say for sure how it will turn out.

   saw this  coming  back mid  DEC   

 

  the  PV     going onto a  football    alignment   is     VERY VERY  bad new for  mid / late JAN
 

  happens  alot on Phase 6  MJO / January 

    EVEN  worse the MJO   Jan 5  6 7 8  is  STALLED  on  phase 5/6  ...

Dave, how long do you think the mild pattern lasts?  Some have suggested only 3-5 days due to rebuilding heights in AK and do you see a full on torch?

he looks at the same data that everyone else does he doesnt have access to something anyone else here doesnt and weve had multiple METS say they believe it will only be a few days...i respectfully dont care what he thinks

  ECMWF  EPS  from  WXballs  as  EXACT opposite .. HUGE  positive   spike   in AO   to JAN 25

(wxballs- wxbell)

idk if uve been paying attention lately chief but the EPS have been absoulutely worked by the GEFS

  the  PV over   far North Canada  has  to

1)  come MUCH further  south  
2)  it cannot be   aligned west to east     (shaped like a  football)

I have NOT  given up on winter in feb / march

 

  BUT   euro   WEEKLIES  Move  the mjo    back into  neutral circle   .. ever reaching  phase  8 or 1  and then back into  5 and 6 in n  FEB .. which is  warm and dry and would kill the winter

 The ultimate weenie statement  ... BUT  lest say you are  100%  correct

12z GEFS   DAY 9/10  looks about the same ..so whats the excuse this time ?
