Heisy Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Kiss of death. Its coming north.Well at least when it does trend N they’ll get a crippling ice storm so he’s not wrong lol. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 One thing to watch too is this will likely heavy (heavy) precip well north of the sfc low...more north than you would typically expect 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbenedet Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Overnight - The EC-AIFS has trended further south but also a lot more amped. the other major guidance has trended north and more amped. There’s been an improved consensus. I think it’s most telling to see the EC-AIFS amp up but that doesn’t translate to a track further north. This is important. I like the 6z EC-AIFS - its current depiction and QPF as a baseline from here. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A nail biter for sure ( well, at least for us in SNE ). The next few days will be telling. Thanks for you insight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoarfrostHubb Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Needs some work to giv eme anything meaningful. Still a lot of time, but that's a big press to overcome 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherwiz Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 The biggest challenge in all of this is going to be how far south the Arctic boundary can get before stalling. This is always a big challenge...the past several winters dealing with these scenarios I think there has been a tendency for models to be not aggressive enough with how far into the South the boundary gets. Also, in this case it is very feasible the sfc front gets deeper into the South while say front around 850 is held back as it pushes against stronger mid-level ridging from the strong ridging east of Florida. This would play a big role in where cyclogenesis ultimately develops but looking at the pattern over the Northeast I think we would stand a good shot at building this north enough to at least get a significant event to the coast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitz Craver Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 I feel like we have said, “the northern push will be under modeled” we have also said, “the confluence will be under modeled”.

I’m not sure what will be more favored with this setup, What’ll it be boys? Confluence is always a PITA to forecast but I think right now, I would favor a track more north. As modeled, the bulk of the confluence being more north I think favors potential for additional northern pushes. But we also have room to continue building the heights northeast of this. The degree and intensity of CAD into the mid-Atlantic may also play a big factor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This storm potential reminds me alot of the Blizzard of 1996. Very cold with that storm. I was skiing at Sugarloaf Maine and it was well below zero during the daytime before the storm came up the coast. No snow fell in Northern New England. My parents house had 25" of snow in Northern Queens NYC with huge drifts. Feather light fluffy snow. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Where convection develops and blossoms too is going to play a big role in where sfc low either re-develops or rapidly begins to strengthen. If convection can develop rapidly off the SC coast and be more consolidated (MCS like) this would bode very well for pumping up heights northeast of it. I kind of think this may be in the ballpark of what the 0z Euro was doing...but there is also the whole northern branch to consider. There is just so many moving pieces with this and so many smaller scale processes which are going to play big roles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s not completely the case anymore. So it has trended into something more complex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
