Hazey Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Would be a nice pattern in the winter. Ridge out west, trough in the Lakes and Northeast.Oh how we pray that this holds on for another 6 months. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't keep this pattern for that long. Folks that enjoy this are going to pay the piper this winter..and those of that didn't want this..are going to suffer due to them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Ahhh if only we could control the weather... naturally if this winter isn't that good it will all be because of those who enjoy temps in the upper 70s in the summer ;). 45F this morning for the low at MVL and I had 47F on the car driving into work. Actually turned the heat on in the car too. First time for that in a long time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(ha). I know what you means tho - 'relative' to that trough biased summer, this is a bit of huger push in that regard. That push could if not should relax in a week or so... What I find intriguing is that this is happening when the models were really all individually, and in blend, signaling the opposite would happen during this last 10 days of August ...back, or around the 11th of the month's extended means. Well, not only was that wrong, but it is being smacked in the face! That ending affectation has also been part of the summer plague dude. Not just the unrelenting return to troughing and failed eastern ridging...but seemingly doing it to mock the guidance (and those that were particularly interested in believing the guidance ) ...not having a good summer? Just kidding! relax.. But seriously, I still don't see any reason why any of that has to change heading into the Autumn. Oh it certainly could - not a prediction per se.

Typhoon Tip Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 and jesus ... the 06z GFS ... actually, a lot of the GFS runs as of late, trying to bring winter in September. it's got a -3 or even -4 SD trough node by D10 just N of Lake Superior.

Yeah I've been plotting all summer how to keep a trough through August and September so that we can torch in winter...maybe my plan will work. I'm still tweaking things, but I'm starting to get this "controlling the weather" thing down pretty good. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can just picture the posts this winter.... every cutter will be because of those who enjoyed a trough in the summer. Sort of like those posts where everyone knows a cutter is coming except one poster who refuses to believe it. Then the day it rains you get littered with "well all of you forecasting a cutter got your wish, a rainstorm in January" posts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazey Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Yup prepare for the "you wanted it, you got it" posts. In all seriousness, what is the longest a pattern has sustained itself? Could this ridge west/trough east, last a year? any previous examples of locked pattern longevity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could this ridge west/trough east, last a year? any previous examples of locked pattern longevity? yeah.... pretty much 1974 - 1979 ... there were variations in there (duh) as of course there would be; at times distracting from the persistent theme,... but the longer term, multi-seasonal multi-year base-line construct tend to always settle back toward +anomaly PNAP. Perennial North American Pattern, which at geo-stationary values forces a modest ridge in the west coupled with a mass conserved depression downstream. has to do with mountain torque budget ... complex. So, a + bias in that regard is just imagining taking that flat western eastern set up and amplifying it to whatever degree. anyway, this happened in the 1970s ... and kind of during the 1990s ... lost it in the late 1990s through ...sort of came back in 2002-2005....lost it.. now, it's back... who knows how long it lasts... But it's really more like you get patterns over top of it - ... it's really more about "tendency vectors" ...I used to call that 'correction vectors' back in the day. but it's the 'least excuse imagined' direction things just want to go. well, you have 'want to go' eras - ... ha. humor aside, there are physical reasons why that all happens of course... I think it interesting, however, that the tendency vector seems to correlate with the solar cycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its almost like we have him confused with someone else on here that's known to blame others for weather he doesn't want? Hey PF ... I bet you're impressed (with cautious optimism) over the 00z Euro ! What chaps Kevin's ass offers up grapple and flips to chutes in the elevations next weekend in that run. Cuts a pocket of 850 mb air right at 0 ...maaybe -1 C, under a decent mid level unseasonable cold pool/instability column. That would probably cat paw windshield at high elevations in the least. Yes, even at this time of year (well, Sept 2nd by then) that would be the case if those physical attributes transpire. Problem is... the run is probably buying into the model's tendency to 'spin' troughs as deeper than they will be in that particular sort of time range. But I gotta say... the GFS has actually flagged some early froster looks in some of its cycles as of late. The on-going incredible persistence with this pattern since April and still no signs of changing is bewildering - theoretically challenging...things don't typically lock this long. It's actually not an illogical reason to worry about longevity heading into the colder months.. But, for the time being, as I have intimate in the past, the former circumstance makes a non-protracted warm season an easy intuitive sort of guess this time. fun stuff - 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 I've noticed the last ...several years really, there is a tendency for the models to start jamming winter 'looking' patterns down our throats in extended tenors around the ends of Augusts.. I'm wondering why that is... You'd think we'd be snow storming by the Equinox given that... jesus. I don't think it's necessarily as red as the herring/skill pervades either ... This is a tenor that tends to go into September and Octobers, too...and we've had a disproportionate to climo, way way higher than normal shots at white in Octobers since 2000... It's strange and measurable - we seem to be getting these sloped flow regimes in early to mid autumns that really mimic January. Interesting.

I'm aware, and I'm not shocked either, just corroborating the CAR forecast with obs from this past weekend. Katahdin is almost exactly 1,000 feet lower (6,288 vs. 5,267).

Otherwise the hurricane will be carried OTS by a positively tilted trough which is probably 90% likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
