jm1220 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Tough forecast coming for Denver. Models like the NAM really don’t have much there and the snow goes well north into WY, but the GFS has a lot more. Could be the difference between something really significant like 18+ or barely a warning event on the Nam there. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would surpass the March record of +5.588, which was set on March 8, 2015. The AO is forecast to fall sharply in coming days. how did we get so hot in March 1990 without a higher AO?

For February, the AO averaged +3.440. For March, it averaged +2.990. February closed with a very strong AO+ regime (+5.911 on February 26) and the AO remained strongly positive through March 30. A strong PNA- pattern developed after the first week of March and this could have been the trigger for the sequence of events that culminated in the exceptional warmth that occurred near mid-March. Overall, the exceptional heat occurred within an enduring pattern that favored above to much above normal temperatures with only short breaks of colder weather (2/25-3/9 cool period but a smaller number of days with much below normal temperatures).

Can’t complain with a widespread 12-18” event for the NYC area and 24-30” in N NJ along with several other significant events. I’d have to give this winter a solid B/B+. The bad January keeps it from being an A, and generally this was an above average snow winter but not massively so (out in the Allentown area different story). I have about 40” on the nose which is probably 8” above average. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crossbowftw3 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Very good winter overall and those of us inland have maybe 1-2 more shots to push us AN for the season. Still wonder what could have been if the death band was 70 miles south on 12/16-17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
