One thing is...we should start to see one side cave really soon because the differences start like NOW. Seriously the GFS products amplify the mjo wave starting today and the other guidance starts the nosedive within the next day or two. This can't go on much longer. I’m never understanding of why killing it in 7 is a bad thing. If it just dies doesn’t it no longer have any impact? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In general models want the kill it prematurely. Of course now that most guidance is advertising a collapse into COD just as it heads into the good phases, it probably happens. More amped has been the trend...when the mjo was in phases 4-7. But the last time it got to 8 it totally collapsed quickly and headed right back to phase 4. So is it really that much of a chance if it collapses in the middle of 7 instead of barely into 8 this cycle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So a collapse in warm phases would linger the impacts of those warm phases longer than if it got into cold phases before collapse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Looking under the hood of the overnight ens paints a more interesting picture than the h5 mean panels. Ens are locked on a warm period from the 3rd-6th. Prob a shutout imo and possibly some 60s on one or more of those days if i had to guess. From the 7th onward there is a lot of divergence. Eps drops mean temps significantly and even hits below normal towards the end of the run. Snowfall chances go from basically zero on the 3rd-6th then increase to not too bad from the 7th onward on both the gefs and eps. So for right now the 7th marks the beginning of better conditions for winter wx. Will that keep getting pushed out in time? Beats me but I didn't think the ens were that dire at all. Shows the chance of a fairly short 4 day torch with improving conditions after. We have a helluva long time to watch and discuss so I'll end my thoughts here.

If it dies and doesn't quickly reemerge in the bad phases, then its out of the way. We can just let the Nina background state do its thing unimpeded then.

I made a post in Banter awhile back talking about how the GFS was showing 60's post 300 hours and that I was surprised Bristow wasn't complaining. That said if we do in fact get a few days of 60s next week then the GFS was hitting that hard long before other models...even though it did lose the idea for a minute it did bring it back.....GFS MJO forecast for the win!!!

There have been plenty of hints of conflict between the members on recent runs- can see it on mean snowfall and also individual member temp anomalies/probs. I said yesterday it looked like a 4-5 day warmish period. Beyond that my guess is the EPS will trend to a more serviceable pattern. Hopefully we see it move towards the stout blocking idea over the next several runs like the GEFS. That is probably the best way to get the pattern into good territory quickly.

I'm not far from just rooting for just a small window where we fluke our way to a 2016 redux and call it a season. It's getting to the point where it will take a HECS to make this a successful/memorable winter. I went way too hard trying to pound my point last week but when I saw the NAO blocking deteriorate and it became obvious that was likely to fail...this evolution became pretty inevitable in my mind. Typically big TPV displacements without blocking are quick hitters and when the TPV rotates through the cold evacuates quickly without blocking to hold the pattern. You then tend to get a yo yo effect. On top of that as the TPV rotates through NAM you tend to get retrogression in the high latitudes above it, which would pull the epo ridge even further west. It was already too far west, and as we head later in winter and wavelengths shorten we need it further east to even have the same effect. So the combination of a TPV retreat, a retrograding EPO, and the change to February climo would make a ridge in the east inevitable without NAO blocking and it became pretty clear that wasnt happening about a week ago. Everything since was the inevitable progression without that. So now that its pretty obvious we are going to lose some serious prime time climo...the question is do we recover and salvage something of the rest of winter, or does the trough go into the west, the ridge southwest of AK locks in and its game over. My gut says that is where the EPO is going to be. If we ever get serious NAO blocking that will force the jet to undercut and we will get another snow threat period. If the NAO continues to fail we will pretty much be in an eastern ridge most of the rest of winter. But I have no freaking idea which way it will go. I have given up trying to figure this winter out. Its kicked my a$$ in every way. I am just along for the ride now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't blast him too hard because I came to the same conclusion as him this year. There have been years where he was putting out contradicting forecasts that I knew he probably didn't even believe himself. Times when he used justifications that didnt even match up things he has said in the past and things I know he knows...a year he was ignoring QBO and PDO influences on the pattern...EVEN when JD was posting them on his blog lol...and showing a cold/snowy forecast using dishonest analogs. This year...I came to the same exact conclusions he did. The only difference is I am not clinging to it and admitting things I got wrong where he will probably wait until its way way way too late to even attempt to spin or deny it before he finally admits he was wrong. I actually think he believed his forecast this year...it wasnt out of line with the majority, but at this point he probably sees the same issues we do and is just doing his typical spin (try to bleed another month out of the winter members) before he admits it.
