BristowWx Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 It will change. Tonight's GFS will look different. Book it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The late Jim McKay on ABC once said, "It's not amazing that there hasn't been more than 11 triple crown winners, it's amazing that there has been 11" (horse racing). Yeah, it is amazing it ever snows here considering everything that has to go right. La Nina ups the ante though...makes it even tougher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nina's suck but I don't know of weak Nina with wQBO that didn't have at least a few inches of snow for RDU. With this AK ridge placement it seems like we are getting that canonical Nina/wQBO response. Does CLT have any clunkers. Heck even the strong Nina's has snow (74/76/2000) for RDU. Why I am a little bullish we get something. Though I guess first time for everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It definitely leads to warmer than average winters here. I don't think we've had many below average winters over the last decade except 09-10 and 10-11. Both strong -NAO winters. It's good that we don't depend on it all the time for snow. 13-14 is a great example. Above average temps overall but plenty of winter weather. I don't think anyone cares if it's above average as long as we get our snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admit it is not the best of patterns, but it does have more potential than just "pure luck" Definitely have a shot with good timing. I see it trends negative but looks like only -1. Better than nothing for sure but not sure that'll be enough with the way the trough likes the west this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the base of the SW trough would break off, sort of like the 0Z Euro was showing, that would help pump up heights in the western US. Big if. Thanks! I look forward to tracking something with you guys. Hopefully sooner than later! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering a more universally accepted acknowledgement of AGW, I wonder now how much more of a positive feedback has been unleashed by increased cold fresh water running off of Greenland and keeping the North Atlantic current weak and suppressed. If I'm not mistaken don't we want warm surface waters near Greenland for -NAO? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SN_Lover Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 0z GFS has begun. Let's see what happens. If global models stick to the 12z runs, give credence to a apps runner as a likely outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonathan Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Looking at the vort maps, looks like less interaction between northern and southern stream (good) and the 50/50 is further south with less amplification of the SER...looks good to me so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Anybody want to provide a PBPMuch colder at 114, more suppressed as well. Could be a good run.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LovingGulfLows Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Of course when the cold air is abundant no storm is there or it's super suppressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 I think the storm got sheared out...I see little to no moisture. Really cold. On my cell so it's hard to see exactly what happened flipping between the model runs, but this is ridiculously different than previous runs.

snowlover91 Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Main differences I see are the 50/50 low is a bit further south and the northern stream energy digs more into the central US and avoids interaction with the southern stream energy. The southern stream energy also stalls right along the West Coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
