CAPE Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 48 minutes ago, Bob Chill said: In longer range news... Both the geps and eps are shifting towards a +pna and a trough in the east. It's not a cold pattern but its not a shutout. Most importantly, none of the ens guidance are far away from a half decent winter pattern. It's def going to get mild after next weekend but I have a hunch we'll be tracking another d11+ fantasy by this time next week. I made pretty much this exact post early this morning. Verbatim the mild period is a few days in the upper 40s- low 50s. We still need the AK trough to retro more, but as advertised the positioning is good enough to pop a PNA ridge. Roll it forward and its not hard to imagine we will be back in business by Xmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTRWx's Thanks Giving Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 DT mentioned in his video yesterday that the energy on Wednesday looked strong enough for models to trend toward snow showers/squalls during the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthArlington101 Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 DT mentioned in his video yesterday that the energy on Wednesday looked strong enough for models to trend toward snow showers/squalls during the day.Models have been showing a shot at this, especially down in my corner of Virginia. I’ve been tracking this slightly, since I’d be pumped to see any snow whatsoever, since I got shut out in November. EPS members (which are admittedly probably fairly useless for that kind of event) give a lot of the area a dusting+ on Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTRWx's Thanks Giving Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 I'm on IWP and there appears to be a slowing trend of the development and forward movement of the moisture. Both 6z and 12z were a good few hundred miles ahead at hr 144. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poolz1 Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 A few subtle but positive changes so far imo....little stronger sw/better ridging out front and a little less confluence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Yea, that sucks. Gfs squashes for the same reason the euro does. Not a good thing. There's time for things to change but our issue is the northern stream. I mentioned it yesterday. Models don't do well with the ns at longer ranges. It's either a phantom sw that ends up not being a problem or its a very real problem. One or the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poolz1 Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Appears so far away from a hit but man...that sw (that @Bob Chill noted) wasnt even there at 00z...showed up at 6z and has trended slower/stronger. I doubt that one small piece of NS energy is done changing 6/7 days out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all the vortices rotating around up top, its going to be awhile before the models have a decent handle on the evolution and converge on a solution. Maybe by Thursday lol.

Looking at previous runs for the same timeframe the only consolation is that the models are all over the place wrt the ns vorts. This run is a totally new wrinkle by rotating a lobe that far SW to bork up flow and make it a Dixieland special Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm developing a dislike of the ns... It's always part of the game. Too much ns interaction too early and it goes west. Phase in a good spot and we get destroyed. Block instead of phase and we get a southern slider. I mentioned when this first showed up that the pattern fits a good hit and also a southern slider. Models won't have the ns nailed down for prob 3 more days at least. It can easily get much better or it can get much worse. It's insanely rare for a storm to not go through many scenarios as leads shorten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
