I am going to be very disappointed if there is nothing inside of 10 days by the end of next weekend. That worthless map could be valid for any 15 days between any given November and March.

Buddy1987 Posted January 27, 2020 We need some Jebman positivity to kick off the 0z runs. ICON will lead us off with a healthy storm. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am frustrated as well that it always seems like 10 day plus. However, it has also been a frustrating winter. Let’s see if February puts us in a better mood.

Not a good run at all imo Probably couldn’t be worse than 12z. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised to see that one blow up. Might blow up into a rainer, but still the potential for a big storm is there imo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nj2va Posted January 27, 2020 Those lows in the GL tell me all I need to know even with a cluster of Ls off OBX...no way we see a frozen event here with that look. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EPS is keeping the streams separate so the solutions with a storm climbing the coast are very compact and warm with no big shield to the nw of the low. I'll post the control run in a minute. It's a good example 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But when the ensemble mean is “green” in the general GL region, it screams to me that the ensembles are favoring low pressure in that area when we’d need the opposite. And with so many Ls up there vs so few near OBX, it makes me think a snowy solution here is unlikely. i hope I’m wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PDIII Posted January 27, 2020 The midweek thing keeps gaining strength and latitude. Look at the 48 hour panel and compare it with the last several runs. It would be a real miracle.. a long shot.. but at least something is trending in the direction for once... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Folks will look at the 10 hP winds GPH for clues as to what may happen down the road. During these times our weather was effected with cold intrusions. The animation above was focused more so on a possible split, but note the orientation as well, it becomes stretched and elongated and almost splits at 10 hP. But, there is more to it than that, as the animation only focused on 10 hP. But, yes, it can effect our weather is the short answer. But it would take pages to explain the various effects from each type of event and to cover both the SPV and the TPV, including coupling , top up event and a bottoms up event , and the geographic target zones of where each event is most likely to impact. Some events favor the impacts targeting Eurasia, others Europe and some the Eastern US. Thanks for the info. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not going to hate on this, because I like cold any where, any time, any how (except when I am at the beach), but inwardly chuckling at the thought of another Jan-Feb fail followed by a random March cold outbreak bringing flurries and cold rain to the SE.
