Snowman11 13,204 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Cmc is still showing the 2nd low on the 12z run. Link to post Share on other sites
Analog96 7,219 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I actually think the GGEM solution makes more sense. Not because I'm a snow weenie, but it just makes more sense. Is the GFS outcome possible? Sure it is. But it's very rare that you see a low stall and do loops like that for three days. Link to post Share on other sites
Analog96 7,219 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 And besides, the GGEM track gives me no snow anyway lol Link to post Share on other sites

With the constant vertically stacked closed low showing up on all guidance, I actually wouldn't bet against the surface low doing some "odd" things like that by that juncture. But I do concur that it'll correct east a bit. I think the question is where cyclogenesis initially occurs & the eventual phase. Theoretically, if not ostensibly, this is a good trend on the GFS & just what you would like to see. If one "wanted" something from this system, I'd say you'd want a weaker, further S southern vort which delays the phase & prevents the system from wrapping up too quick. You don't want to light that "wick" too early. That being said, I think there's a limit on how far this corrects east & I'd be more bullish on one of the follow up systems. This does look to be quite the rain & wind-maker though! High-traffic environment, so naturally we should all expect some wild variations on deterministic guidance post five days for now until the respective models can sort out which disturbances are more likely to develop & interact.

CCB! 29,190 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Hey, a ways off & warm at face value (even with this crazy FGEN)... But you still love to see a wild @CCB! showing up! Link to post Share on other sites

Fun times ahead! Only thing is, the GFS hangs that Monday low around so long it doesn't really give anything else a chance to develop. Hence, the pattern that follows stays cold, but is dry. Now, it could stay dry and something could develop much later, like 2010, but we'll see. Link to post Share on other sites

Don't get me wrong, I love seeing the amped pattern, but no guarantees as they say. I'd take sustained cold and wait for a storm. This year has generally been two unstable weeks, two calm weeks. If we get the cold air to coincide with a stormy period, I'll take my chances. Link to post Share on other sites

CCB! 29,190 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 It's going to be a nasty system in our parts next week regardless. As the ULL occludes, we should see a period of very strong winds as @Analog96alluded to earlier. Several inches of rain probable too. Link to post Share on other sites
NorEaster27 975 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I am starting to worry this huge (historic) PNA spike maybe just too early as there are some signs it rolls over in mid-december which will flood the CONUS with warmth...yet again. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not really worried, I also wouldn't be any bit surprised if that occurred. This upcoming period, whether it delivers or not is just a welcome guest. I'm not expecting a joyous second half of Dec, tbh. Though I'm looking forward to what Jan has in store, particularly from week 2 onward. Link to post Share on other sites
Oliviajames3 1,198 Posted November 25, 2020 Author Share Posted November 25, 2020 This first system was always going to be a rain event. A potent storm but not a frozen one for our area. The next wave has/had a chance if everything worked out but even then inland (well inland) had the better chance. It has been the 8th onward we were hoping for since this pattern has shown its face several days ago. If we want an early season event we have to look 8th onward into mid December. Can the pattern be favorable during that time period is the question. Link to post Share on other sites

We haven't had this size if a magnitude of a PNA in years. Let it play out first. Link to post Share on other sites

Would you rather there be a trough out west? Sure it could change by why not just get exited about the fact there’s actually a +PNA showing up? Link to post Share on other sites
