Any snow next weekend would be bonus considering the late start to this Nino especially. But seems January and beyond could be quite busy around here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am so happy I could cry. Plus I am suffering form data overload , too much great weather info to digest! The progression of the weeklies fits @Isotherm seasonal forecast. So far, so good. Excellent times ahead !! I hope the board doesn't crash. 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're going to be rooting for the north trend to stop soon. Yep. I definitely like the temps on the FV3 better than anything else at this point.

psuhoffman Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 29 minutes ago, Scud said: More better Hmm when have I seen that look before... oh like 5 days before almost every stj driven hecs we've had. I don't have a crystal ball and it could easily get squashed if the northern stream invents another vort to dive down at the wrong time...but this is exactly where I want an stj system at day 5 with only marginal blocking. I've heard there is none but that's not true, the combo of a displaced PV with some ridging in Greenland and that 50/50 acts as a weak bootleg block in this case. It won't show up on an nao index but it works to impact the longwave pattern the way we want. But it's relaxing in front as we want. We may well end up rooting for the north trend to stop before it's done. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 This is the elusive mini pattern. Mini +pna, mini aleutian trough, mini -nao, mini 50/50, and mini southern wave in the deep southwest. Result? Mini HECS 1 1 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scud Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Checked 18z CMC: no changes yet for precip shield the same at 90 hrs 12z. Reconciliation will occur next 48-72hrs. Exspect volatility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psuhoffman Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 18 minutes ago, Bob Chill said: Weeklies are the perfect retro/rollover pattern that we discussed when the AK trough first showed up. Huge changes from just a few days ago though so caution signs but man...this run is as epic as it gets. We can spare half that pattern and still snow. I don't believe them because the weeklies show what they show. I believe them because they show what we logically expected the pattern to evolve into given nino climo and all the signs so far this season. I definitely don't regret keeping my bullish snowfall forecast unedited. I don't know what more to wait for. The mjo keeps cycling cold then dying without any grand tours of the warm phases. The enso looks pretty close to the composite of all our big years. The PV is a weak pathetic pos this year that's getting beat around like a piñata. Everytime we get a trough in the east its storms galore. We're running cold and every attempt to flip quickly reverts. The nao looks ok and tends to only trend better later in nino years. Im all in. If I'm wrong I'm wrong. Won't be the first or last time but I've seen enough. I expect this to be a big year and will be disappointed (and very wrong) if it's not. 8 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Onset is late Christmas day into boxing day. 3+ weeks should be enough lead time to adjust timing to Christmas eve and also move the jackpot overhead. 4 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely don't regret keeping my bullish snowfall forecast unedited. I agree with everything you wrote. Weeklies get a serious -ao going within 4 weeks and it only gets stronger. Our fate is predicated there. Right now the ao is flipping positive which is fine. But if we're going to move into deep winter by the holiday week then my eyes are focused right there. I want to see the ao flipping negative asap on ens guidance. If it happens before Christmas then only bad luck will be to blame if we don't do well. Heck, DC could be halfway to climo next weekend... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
