Typhoon Tip Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Is that wrong though ... using straight GEFs? The warming intrusion has verified... I don't speak for EPS but I know the GEFs ferreted that out a long while before it happened, stuck with it through verification. I guess we can now count on the EPS and forget giving credit where credit is due? My experience in the past with these spliting pv events is that they are not well handled and can lead/precipitated rather abrupt whole-scale pattern changes ... really quick analogous to crossing a threshold ... It may in fact be when the plume begins interacting with tropopause just as a guess... In any case, it's even possible the split is underdone. We don't know... I don't think - correct me if I'm wrong - that the EPS is masterful and handling this sort total evolution either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question now is downwelling into the troposphere, that isn't well agreed upon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also it’s been the pattern of models rushing change. Maybe it corrects, but yeesh. Hopefully it is just rushing the change, not delaying until May. At some point we’re going to need to see a good look move in closer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to flip constantly, the pattern is chaotic. Models have been flipping like freshly caught tuna. Don't understand the melts, in a few weeks it's going to turn awesome. Jan 20-March 15 will be epic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But even in the GEFs based products it's only partially illustrated - that may be all that is needed. I don't know but the PV signature has been vacillating between a three-nodal split and a two from what I've been observing fwiw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USCAPEWEATHERAF Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Something interesting with the January 3-4th system now, it looks like another clipper type northern stream system brings some light snow to the region Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether or not it’s just a delay til 1/20 or a continued push back who knows. I don’t know of many winters though which flipped good or bad that late. If you get a flip that late it’s usually transient like 95-96 was and you go right back to what you were in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re better off to get a favorable flip in niño. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My concern is that this could be the inverse and might be a transient good flip. 96-97 and 99-00 also both had transient good flips around mid January. Of course both of those were totally different ENSO states than this. There does seem to be a tendency though for winters where we are being destroyed by the east pacific Alaska low for there to be a relaxing of the GOA low in mid January and then in February you go right back into it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

78Blizzard Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Not to rub salt into our suffering wounds here, but right now in Fargo, ND it's -11°F with a -42° WC, and a snowpack of over a foot. Happy New Year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNNAWAYICEBERG Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 This 6 week stretch has been like living in that bad stretch of Jan 96. Just rainer after rainer. That’s the only comparison but it’s an awful one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch this clipper energy passing by day 3-4, the clipper transfers energy into a coastal, the 21z SREFs are closer to the coast this run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USCAPEWEATHERAF Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Half the EPS members and half the 12z GEFS members have decent snowfall into the SNE region on Thursday, something to definitely watch closely in the next 48+ hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way the winters have been going since 2010 I don't think a flip, even as late as say Jan 20th to 25 th is really late. We will see though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
