ShawniganLake Posted September 26, 2018 Report Share Posted September 26, 2018 Too early to say. No other model looks like the 12Z GFS in that period... at least not yet.I have a feeling things end up cool and wet at times next week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Front Ranger Posted September 26, 2018 Report Share Posted September 26, 2018 I have access to the verification scores (will see if I can find a way to post them). I’ll put it this way..the difference between the FV3-GFS and ECMWF is actually larger than the difference between the old GFS and the FV3-GFS. The aggregate of all improvements was relatively small, all things considered. Well, that's disappointing. But not surprising. Would have been monumental if the new GFS somehow managed to leap frog the Euro. Though of course, it's worth noting that the FV3 is an experimental model and is being tested in development of the actual official next version of the GFS. They're still trying to work out the bugs, so to speak. Quote A forum for the end of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Posted September 26, 2018 Report Share Posted September 26, 2018 Much of that was not friendly discussion... you just let it rip. And I have not said anything at all until now and did not show what you have written over the years. It just seems dishonest though when you mock me in public forum and try to pretend you are above all of this. BS. I have tried again and again to find common ground with you via PM.

Jesse Posted September 26, 2018 Report Share Posted September 26, 2018 12z ensembles look coolish and wettish. Still feels like the potential for a continued torch is there the next few weeks, though. A lot of it seems to depend on whether the amplified ridge offshore cuts off and floats toward the pole.

A lot of it seems to depend on whether the amplified ridge offshore cuts off and floats toward the pole. That seems to be a common theme in the warmer solutions.This has been an exceptionally difficult pattern for me to attempt to predict. But if I were to wager, I’d be more worried about a torch pattern developing sometime next month, and sticking around for 3-4 weeks before yielding to a potential Arctic event during the middle or later part of November. Every potential analog year I can find (except 1994/95) featured cold troughing across NW-North America during November and/or December. And 1994/95 is a terrible polar-stratosphere analog (dearth of O^3 with an extremely weak BDC, following Pinatubo). If we repeated 1994/95 with today’s stratosphere, it would probably turn out much different. 1 Quote Live Weather Cam: https://www.youtube.com/live/KxlIo8-KVpc?si=xKLCFYWbZieAfyh6 PWS Wunderground https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KMDBETHE62 PWS CWOP/NOAA: https://www.weather.gov/wrh/timeseries?site=F3819&hours=72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted September 26, 2018 Report Share Posted September 26, 2018 We have a pretty strong +IOD right now. Even without a coherent niño signal in terms of ONI/niño 3.4, this SSTA configuration (cold Indo-Pacific, warm W-IO/dateline) Will favor a niño-esque forcing structure as the cold season wavetrain matures. Arrows I drew indicate anomalous upward/downward motion (z-component). Not the zonal/meridional ones.
