Same can be said for Allsnow. I think frustrations are setting in for many snow enthusiasts. 5 years ago he was on the opposite train and honking up the big snow patterns we were in. When the pattern supports it he’ll call that out, when clearly it doesn’t like now he calls that out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Smith Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Just a reminder to forecast contest folks, today would normally be deadline at 06z later, but I extended it 24 hours because of the timing of Easter, so pop in on monday and submit a forecast. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetsPens87 Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 An interesting piece in why the CMC and GFS are so different... Note the distinct lobe over Maine that exists on the CMC (and ironically the also Srn RGEM). This piece gets absorbed on the GFS and stays in tact on the CMC. Keeping that piece intact flattens the WAR a bit and consequential the block is allowed to act upon the primary driving it to a transfer quicker than the GFS which has a stronger WAR. It's an interesting battle to watch as the model runs keep coming in. Its an anomalous blocking episode vs the pattern of a stronger WAR. I'd wager somewhere in between at this juncture. That's because even though yes the ensembles are smoothing this piece a bit by nature, it's noteworthy that the GEPS themselves aren't nearly as pronounced with that lobe of energy. In that regard the GEPS and GEFS handle the Wrn Atlantic situation quite similarly so one must then reasonably come in with a surface prediction somewhere in between. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluewave Posted April 1 Author Share Posted April 1 0z guidance coming in stronger with the primary now which is cutting to Chicago instead of Buffalo with the stronger Southeast ridge forcing the phasing further west. So this could set a new record for one of our longest and slowest spring cutoffs. Models still have showers and clouds into Saturday with the cutoff low. New run stronger Southeast ridge linking up with -NAO forcing phase and primary low further west Old run weaker Southeast ridge Even older run with a more suppressed Southeast ridge 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoSki14 Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Models have a strong secondary inland now that's trying to mix a strong LLJ down. But inversion would make it tough to get strong winds 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s all this block-whether it should be called that or not anymore with them regularly linking with the SE ridge now-is good for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back on the day...absolutely But if we're going the Gung ho route then sure you can do it without much model guidance to begin with. If you want a smarter look at what the models are thinking then blending works. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New run stronger Southeast ridge linking up with -NAO forcing phase and primary low further west Old run weaker Southeast ridge Even older run with a more suppressed Southeast ridge Persistent troughing in the SW near Baja has been a big thorn in the side of Ern snowlovers this winter. Anytime you have that feature there you should expect a more potent SE ridge. The case is no different with this storm. Ill also mention it's worth noting that since the EPO regime of years ago...another problem has been consistent energy coming into the PAC NW/swrn Canada which has consistently allowed the PNA ridge to rollover almost trapping the Baja trough underneath. What it boils down to is that I've always been a believer of PAC over ATL. If your PAC is crap the ATL will respond in kind despite an anomalous NAO episode. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though once again there is potential for stronger CAA winds which usually wind up overperforming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until we see pac improvements it will be a struggle for eastern snow enthusiasts. We have witnessed so many of these strong blocks the past few years produce nothing because of a awful pacific configuration 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LibertyBell Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 https://www.pivotalweather.com/eclipse2024/?m=cmceens&p=cloudcover_tle_4-mean&r=us_state_ny I posted the Canadian ensemble model for cloud cover because Pivotal says it's the best we have. I just have a hard time believing there will only be 5-10% of cloud cover for the eclipse, that's weird for early April. The Canadian ensemble (CMCE) runs twice daily, with new maps typically available by 4:00 AM and PM EDT (1:00 PDT). Its forecasts for cloud cover are the most nuanced and realistic available on this page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
