March 2018 Model Discussion


WeatherFeen2000

Recommended Posts

most models have a strong block for us beginning this March, and there will be a low pressure coming from the Texas panhandle/eastern Rockies and will depend on the block but most models have it ride up the eastern coast and kinda stall there for a day or two and drop buckets of precipitation. It’s still light years away weather time wise but this has the most potential probably this whole year to be a very destructive storm and possibly a downright blizzard.

pulled from the mt holly morning discussion

potentially more significant rain storm could move in later Thursday and Friday as low pressure develops near the mid-Atlantic coast. Some light snow is even possible on Friday in the far north with a northwest flow as the system moves NE away from the area.

The storm initially moves away but then retrogrades and eventually heads towards Bermuda.

Still far out, but I see people talking a weekend storm next week. Upton & Mt Holly both indicate rain is likely Thursday Friday next week.

same storm or different.

It’s a complicated setup and unknown at this time, but theoretically could all be the same system.

The major lack of cold air problem I cited yesterday for the 3/2 storm is well apparent, unanimously so far on all 12z model runs; GFS, CMC, ICON, UKIE. We’ll see what the new Euro does, but so far the only model that showed a major snowstorm for the metro area was the operational Euro last night

We know that everything has to go perfectly to get a snowstorm on March 2nd due to cold air not being established yet. EURO showed that it's possible, but it's a longshot. However there will not be a lack of cold air for the week of March 5th. That's when we have our best chance of seeing a snowstorm. When you combine a strong blocking pattern and the stormy month of March, odds are pretty high that we'll see a snowstorm at some point before the pattern breaks down.

Agreed. The PNA rises and EPO falls and the blocking relaxes but remains negative.

We will be fine if the storm bombs out near us. The only problem is the PNA.

Extremely frustrating if we get shut out the remainder of the year (snowfall). Especially since most areas are very close to seasonal average AND we have blocking in place as well as an improving PAC.

Would only be the 5th below average season for my area this century, but 2.5 inches away! Jeeze.

JB was beating his chest like Mighty Joe Young at his very good call of yesterday's event, made 3 weeks ago.   I think he likes the one near March 12 (seems too warm then, right now)more than Mar. 7-8.   This time dredging up the specter of March 1993, on its 25th. anniversary.

Meanwhile GFS is a foot by Mar. 7 PM.  What I do not like here is that this is a daytime event to boot.

Plenty of action and speculations to come before any walk along the beach in a bathing suit and short sleeved shirt can be attempted.   He is also predicting at this time, a hot summer centered on Texas, but expanding to EC later.

Next run looks similar:

It's coming.   (A big storm that is)

I'm big on that storm because when you go back at our historical records, it seems that our biggest storms seem to recur around similar dates- and March 12-13 is one of those dates.
