CoastalWx Posted January 2 The other thing people need to realize, is that we are going to have events that don’t work out. It’s not easy to get something to work out favorably, vs unfavorably if you look at it from a probability standpoint. Much easier for things not to go right, even in a favorable pattern. A favorable pattern just means the odds of that happening, are lower. Just keep things in perspective. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was just Thursday night with the weeklies looking crazy good and the ensembles looking crazy good, it was hard not to have Bratwurst jammed in our throat looking at that porn. We back to reality on this 2nd day of ‘21. And it’s all good. Let’s Roll. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Typhoon Tip Posted January 2 Well ... I'm not going to sugarcoat it, or try to spin it or rationalize it, the last 24 hours of runs are frustrating for winter drama/storm enthusiasts ( ...which is really more like 'model cinema enthusiasts' .. ) I'm sort of kicking myself for not bringing this up two days ago - kind of obvious... I think I might have mentioned it (certainly thought about it) but I just didn't bother to emphasize the aspect. We're lacking isohypsic gradient ... when for 10 years, we had way too much of it! ..Ironically, but these 500 mb charted features are just not deep enough. They are shallow by January climatology. You're talking closed or quasi closed(ing) features that are 540+ DM dz ... I've seen June troughs that deep wooo! That's indicative of a mild 500 mb (relative to both season and what's going on around them).. The 500 mb wind velocities reflect that, circuitously wending around said features on the order of 50 .. 80 kts. Just a month ago, the ambient was almost twice that! Forget the S/W... Anyway, these S/W and features are lacking mechanical power. See, re this 1/4 system in the foreground ...it's not helping its track positions.. You get a torsional feedback that resists its 'drift momentum' from more strength, because deeper anchors sooner. This thing is paltry ...it's closing one isohypses... and the associated sfc low is a terrifying 996 mbs...so yeah.. it's drifting out. The other aspect is just giga motions associated with the NAO handling in the models. Nuances in the total structure of the NAO as it blossoms its block over the western limb is a bit shaky in the last 24 hours. The GFS runs are hem-hawing and trying to make it a S based NAO ... not sure that has the same "slowing" kinematic influence on this 1/4 thing. The Euro still has it more D. Str. however ..and yet it still sends this thing east into taunt distances.. I think really we could benefit from a stronger input to help anchor this sooner. That was more suggestive four days ago ... but, since... You know, we've been consummately correcting late mid range systems less amplified as they near in time - maybe remember that. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

( ha ) it's not totally over ... I mean, we still have to actually get thru January 4 ...so we'll see - It's just the 'vicissitudes' - 'nother fun word - of the last 24 hours that are unfortunate of the models, seems like those could be related to this thing just being weak and not having enough power to situate itself in space and time. More I think about it... we really have been seeing things get corrected weaker passing from late mid ranges into nearer terms, and it sort of fits this... The earlier runs had more impact ... the system corrects subtly weaker inside of 72 hours...out she goes. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All he means is there isn't any arctic air around to enhance deformation and lift....maybe relatively underwhelming cyclogen.....the value of arctic air extends beyond simple thermals ie precip type. 1 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Typhoon Tip Posted January 2 Not a good look for Jan 8-12th either... Two days ago I admit I saw some alarming signals in there for either a top tier potential ... maybe an aggregated series but wow! The 240 hour Euro and GFS ... eradicate the NAO... and show signs of speeding the flow back up again. Interestingly ... the CPC tele's sort of relfect that ... with AO/NAO recoveries going on out toward the end. Better hope the Pac reorients or heh - doesn't mean winter's over... no, just that said "alarming signals" .... are no longer there. hahaha... Maybe we'll see them come back... maybe this opens the door to a whole new paradigm of delivery ... I can make one prediction that is above the 90th percentile accurate ... if this two-step head game goes on ... I predict I am going to start fantasizing for not only another 80 F week in mid February ...this time, I want the NAO to go f- itself in March. Leaves us the hell alone. That way we can just commit to an early spring/warm season and finally cash-in on GW in a meaningful way around here... lol 3 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was doin' other shit today and thought oh yeah... Open web --> wish I did not open up the web. I don't think I'm making anything up when looking at this shit - sucks asshole for storm/winter drama seekers. I think what happens is ...the tenor over does it in either direction as part of crowd physics. It's human... don't sweat it. But, the fervor does tend to out pace the indicators, where as I tend to ignore that sort of thing. It's just in my nature ...so, it may seem like I'm 'trying' to compensate for a mood or something, but I'm pretty much consistently being honest as much as I can.. If it fits the tenor of the hour, it fits... if it doesn't ... oops 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WinterWolf Posted January 2 Lots of words you use don’t mean much to most here...in fact we’ve never seen or heard of many of them to be honest. The crazy thing is, I never know if you’re typing things wrong, or I just don’t know the word? Cuz many of them I’ve never ever seen before. But that’s just me.

I don't know if that's entirely true ... you're making an assumption that groups people together, without knowing them ... My biggest problem is that I go to fast, and leave out prepositions here, or type words like 'now' when I meant 'not' ... or, jump to the next sentence before finishing... throwing off the reader.
