psuhoffman Posted December 10, 2019 Gfs shows the path to a white Xmas miracle. I’m not saying the 17/18th system isn’t a threat. But if it does end up phasing with the TPV and cutting that will pinwheel the whole PV down to our north then northeast and set up a good prolonged window of opportunity right before Xmas. And given the fact the stj keeps throwing waves at us every 3-4 days I find it likely something would take advantage. This pattern isn’t perfect but keep the stj active and the pattern workable and amplified and I think it’s only a matter of time. 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I would take it! Tuesday front thump would still be good though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tuesday front thump would still be good though. It prob won't work that way. Something will pop up in the medium range after we already wrote it off in the long range. Flow is very busy. Has the feel that something will work out. Might not be clean or pretty but the pattern is way better than a shutout and it's not terribly hard to get an event mid Dec onward. 3 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bob Chill Posted December 10, 2019 For 10-12 days out, this is a pretty good storm signal. Some legit coastal nukes mixed in with the rainers. 6 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yea, it's pretty massive but it also doesn't start forming until d8+. GEFS has some support for the idea but not enough to favor the idea. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Has a strong scand ridge forming around D9 and remains in place to the end of the run. Can see it feeding the -NAO in the NAO region. GEFS also supports the OP with a scand ridge forming around the same timeframe as the HH GFS. Edit: Ninja'd by Bob 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frd Posted December 11, 2019 A follow-up on this, as HM spoke about this about a week ago. The interesting thing is, as Hugo mentions, since it is from the Euro it raises the eye brow a little more. If anything, displacements and elongations can benefit us. No worries about a SSWE, but these little things do matter. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bob Chill Posted December 11, 2019 ICON looks like the eps members that hit us with the waa piece on the next one. It's a decent setup if things are spaced out right. A little more push from the 50/50 and this could be a big hit 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yoda Posted December 11, 2019 00z GFS wants no part of what the ICON shows and blows up a huge cutter for middle of next week - but it does bring in some nice arctic air in the process as it moves into Canada Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And then dry-slotted with foggy drizzle. We had a lot of front end storms like that where I came home soaked to the bone from sledding, carrying my dead right arm in my left hand because I heaved too many snow balls.
