Pittsburgh/Western PA WINTER ‘25/‘26


 Share

Recommended Posts

We are about to go into the wildest phase of the MJO you can have in Feb, phase 3. The Feb 5-13 1994 example of what phase 3 can do ( followed by the heat wave right after in 4/5/6) was the greatest case study this year NYC had 2 snowstorms with a total of 22 inches on the ground by the 12th, then was 62 8 days later! This year's target dates in comparison probably 20-28. That not to say 22 inches in NYC. Just to say a lot of wild weather west east centered in the lakes and northeast likely during that phase 3 time

Is he saying winter is basically over after 28th with major heat wave likely after we get through phase 3 and possible snow from 20th - 28th?

JB is a tough one for me to trust/rely on. I generally think his forecasting is decent, but he is a wishcaster. Always thinks we are a week away from a big snow storm.

Agreed he always looks for the reason why it will be cold. Others though have jumped on the winter isnt done yet so we shall see. Wouldn't mind one more couple week period in march before we get an early spring.

No he isn't ! he looks deeply into things instead & being in love with a Model until it changes them out of the sweet spot & then they jump to one that does have them in the sweet spot

Looks like after this week the weather may turn to winter again. Most of the Euro products show this. Here is the AI. Wouldn't mind one more period before spring. Obviously we are starting to enter the time of the year where sun angle makes a difference but its still only February.

I'd be shocked if we don't get at leat 2 or 3 colder windows to snow before spring. Problem is without stable blocking any storm threat is even more highly dependant on interactions with other waves leading to more uncertainty than usual past day 4. All this to say I wouldn't get interested in any threat until its consistently shown 96-120 hours. I guess that holds true for a lot of setups, but moreso here in my opinion.

Wait the UKie shows this. Doesn't make sense

Looks to show really borderline temps, but 850 is below freezing for much of that period. Good news is multiple models have the potential players on the field in that timeframe. Icon is a hit. GFS is a little slower to get going, but has the general idea
