Clouds and raw as f**k in Simsbury, 29 degrees. Great morning for an outdoor service call

yeah, noticing on sat/vis loop ...there's some environmental tussle going on where the S/SW flow is running over the top of this shallow radiative cooled dense BL air.  instantiating a very low very shallow overrunning lift.

Probably not a well modeled circumstantial feed-back.  The strata that is the result is like super thin but with a low early Jan sun angle, that's enough to blot out and shade.   if we can keep the mid and upper level clouds at bay, eventually we'll warm enough that this will mix out but some places may get a couple hours of ceiling first.

Good point.

To be sure I’m thinking most commonly 43-45 readings, for the region.

a solid +10 today

Dews will also be rising all day so it will compound the real feel. Legit warmth on this merit as well…

 

Gotta get outside…

Walking the dog yesterday felt so different compared to recent weeks.  Sun, Temps near 40, no wind... today will be even more springlike

not that anyone asked but ... i feel now until Feb 8 is winter regardless of temperature anomalies.  

it's really more of whether the pattern is compensating for the sun challenges at this latitude/dates.   That doesn't make it non-winter though.  the earth really needs to get it's tilt across whatever degrees from vertical it is on or around Feb 8 before i consider non-winter.  

"consider"  - that doen't mean declared.   It depends on the year at hand.  Obviously, in 2015... Feb 8th didn't mean shit.   But, other years, you feel the sun and south side flower beds have little crokus shoots. the snow's been beaten back to the shady woods and you're putting up +5s ... it's not very winter like when it's like that and then combined, the sun's left the min and soaks us.  so it depends on the year.   but without the sun, heh... it's winter.   it's just a matter of whether the winter is what we want it do be.

GFS' recent runs hinting at that ...

My only point before is that there's wave interference that is negative.   That trough totality, albeit containing some potent embedded S/W at beta scales, is in fact positively tilted.  

The QUE vortex up there is in bad spot climo and physics-wise.  These aren't really disputable. 

But he brought up a good point about looping and seeing the history, and the wind barbs are turning more S along and off-shore, so that's indicative of slowing - or having the ability to do so - the progressive nature overall.   The WI dive probably catches, and then the phase ends up potency has enough -  your "hook and latter" low fits that.

But ... shit this can all change of course.   it's fun to jockey the model runs LOL

no doubt, could be one of the more exciting 12z runs in a long time, or just more of the same, quick tease and disappointment ...

15th/16th—That GFS run is very -NAO ish

I don’t buy this evolution. Looks like a step further away from reality.

The NAO forecast had another stepwise increase well into positive territory before our players are on the field..

If you expand that product to the charts for 7 and 10 day lags you can see the recency of error. 

I've noticed that every now and again those curves divorce pretty extreme.  It's like the ens have memory that is cumulative - and then every couple of weeks it resets...   This is particularly true with the PNA.   What's weird, the NAO is the more stochastic, exhibiting larger variance and pour predictive skill in general - yet, the errors at D7 and 10 make it look like the GEFs must be an oracle.   Bull shiiiiiiit
