Grizzcoat Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 Euro did well with this warm up. It was showing 40s and 50s last week and here we are.Yep-and if the Euro weeklies are anywhere near correct- WB's forecast (amongst others) for the winter is going to have to be epic cold in late FEB to come even close. I don't get into this "pre winter" forecasts with ocean temps and all, because it all changes. What's certain is that we had one , if not the biggest , EL Nino's in 2015'. Until the pac ocean cools down enough, we are going to see the results, though in a muted fashion. IMO- we are still seeing the results of the Super Nino. I really hate saying this but gut feeling has the rest of the winter (compared to avg) to NOV- as a wash. Still storms? Yes? Still Cold? Yes? But Nothing like NOV had and I think the precip is cut way down esp W and NW. The E may still do OK.

Grizzcoat Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 Let's not get all excited about this so called "change". Before anything changes we need S CAN and N.DK and S.DK and MN to get a snowcover. Sure ,some snow can fall further S, but without that snow cover to N , any storms that come from the SW will wrap in warm air. My .02. This pattern remids me of 04-05'/ -- potential of cold- but not snow/ precip. A big bust is looming I think. The cold doesn't jive with the precip. Hope I'am wrong.. I think any storm will be too warm (rain) in the extended. For many.

Niko Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 NOAA: The big question then turns toprecipitation type... Inherited top-down methodology produces a rainto rain/snow mix across SE MI late Thursday, transitioning to arain/snow to snow solution early Friday morning as lows dip to orjust above the 32 degree mark. Highs in the upper-30s to lower 40swould aid in transitioning the precipitation back to a rain/wintrymix solution by the afternoon. GEFS ensemble solutions also trendtowards a rain to wintry mix solution for the bulk of the event asdoes latest ECMWF run. Thus at this time will not enhance wording onpotential winter implications. Will need to continue to monitoradditional model runs as a profile/surface thermal adjustment of -2to -3C would create winter weather impacts with this system. Things could still change........ 1 Quote Snowfall for Winter 2023 -24 for Metro Detroit Area Oct 2023: 0.2" AN Nov 2023: 2.2" AN Dec 2023: 0.5" BN Insane!

jaster220 Posted December 16, 2018 Report Share Posted December 16, 2018 Zero snow at all with this on the euro Thinking about this more, I doubt this will likely have any snow SW of here. SMI may be the lowest LAT where there's at least a chance cold can get in and make a difference. But, ofc we fight the GL's warmth dome early season so that's a strike against. Even the Nov 25-26 bliz was showing nada for SMI at this range. The SN to RN scenario really solidified from about h48 out iirc. GRR- Additional energy diving into the troughwill help to eject waves toward the NE, and bring waves of pcpn tothe area. Much of this should be rain from Wed into Fri. At somepoint as the system departs, colder air will start to be drawn intothe area. This could cause the rain to change over to snow. A lot ofuncertainty exists with regard to the details, so we will fine tunethe forecast as we approach later next week. 1 Quote Winter 2023-24 Snow Total = 53.1" (90% Normal Season) Largest Storm: 12" (1/12-13) Oct: 0.1 Nov: 2.9 Dec: 7.5 Jan: 31.7 Feb: 6.0 Mar: 4.3 Apr: 0.1 Avg = 59.2" (Harrison): 2023-24 = 53.1" Avg = 45.0" (KDTW): 2022-23 = 33.5" 2021-22 = 35.6" Avg = 49.7" (KRMY): 2020-21 = 36.2" 2019-20 = 48.0" 2018-19 = 56.1" 2017-18 = 68.3" 2016-17 = 52" 2015-16 = 57.4" 2014-15 = 55.3" 2013-14 = 100.6" (coldest & snowiest in the modern record!) 2012-13 = 47.2" 2011-12 = 43.7" Legit Blizzards (high winds and dbl digit snows): Feb 2011, Dec 2009, Jan 2005, Dec 2000, Jan 1999, Mar 1998, Nov 1989, Jan 1982, Jan 1978, Jan 1977, Apr 1975, Mar 1973, Jan 1967, Feb 1965, Jan 1918 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niko Posted December 16, 2018 Report Share Posted December 16, 2018 Was a beautiful late afternoon over here with blue skies just to our west and the sun came out briefly creating a super red sunset. Indication of the torching expected tomorrow. Golfing again??Most likely. Had a red sunset too in the far distance. It was a picture postcard. FWIW: latest GFS 384 Hr looks sweet for my area. 1 Quote Snowfall for Winter 2023 -24 for Metro Detroit Area Oct 2023: 0.2" AN Nov 2023: 2.2" AN Dec 2023: 0.5" BN Insane!

jaster220 Posted December 16, 2018 Report Share Posted December 16, 2018 Oh, and my comment earlier needs some clarifying. I didn't mean there would be zero snow SW of Michigan, but wrt 6+ amounts I think it's from #puremichigan on north. Just a gut thing, and I'd gladly bust low.

Tom Posted December 16, 2018 Report Share Posted December 16, 2018 As daylight begins to emerge, it's yet another morning with heavy Frost along with some Freezing Fog (26F). With all the foggy mornings this past week or so, does that folklore still stand in the Winter to expect wintry weather in the coming week (s)? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted December 16, 2018 Report Share Posted December 16, 2018 After analyzing the 00z EPS, an anticipated trend towards more blocking across E Canada and Hudson Bay has now evolved. This, my friends, is a KEY element for our sub. Here's why, if we are to believe the EPO should maintain in a (+) state through the rest of this month, it'll allow PAC systems to target the west coast and take on a more west/east storm track. This blocking signal across central Canada is huge as it'll allow deep cold to build up and "seed" cold into the northern tier of the lower 48. All I'm saying, is this blocking needs to continue to show strength going forward bc with ut it and +EPO, you can forget about seeing any wintry weather. According to the LRC, by the time the Winter Solstice system tracks up along the eastern CONUS into SE Canada on the 22nd, heights should rise near Greenland and the Hudson Bay/Archipelago region. It happened in the previous cycle and should last for about 7-10 days before we see the Polar Vortex establish itself in this same region. By then, we will be approaching NYE and the opening week of Jan '19 when we will be in an entirely different pattern we are currently experiencing. Are there signals for a White Christmas??? I'm encouraged to see the 00z EPS now trending more towards the GEFS have been for a sneaky Christmas Eve/Day system coming out of the central Rockies. Albeit not a big storm system, someone across the Plains into the MW/Lower Lakes may see some snow out of this opportunity. Post Christmas, this is when the action really turns into high gear and a very amped up STJ churns up and the GOM is open for Biz. The extended pattern is ripe for some lucky peeps on here to get hit by a storm train. I don't think the S Plains get in on the action till we flip the calendar into January. Lot's on the table to close out this month folks. Hang in there snow enthusiasts! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted December 16, 2018 Report Share Posted December 16, 2018 I'll show you a technique I use that provides a clue where to see a future storm track. Of late, why have all the systems seemingly taken a southern storm track??? I believe the answer relies a lot to do with the 10mb heights. It has been an odd last week or so seeing strong southern stream storm tracks even though there hasn't really been a lot of high lat blocking. We have seen a +AO and a neutral NAO and 2 rather powerful storms have tracked across the S Plains and SE in recent days. I have studied this particular technique I'm about to show you and it may provide us a clue of what to expect heading into Christmas week. Check out the massive heights that have risen across N Canada as of today which has suppressed the pattern way south. Pay attention to the blues or negative heights across the Gulf states. This has merely been the storm track of late and it will begin to shift over the coming week. Now, lets fast forward towards Christmas Eve and notice the tongue of blue coming off the PAC into Cali/West Coast and traversing the entire CONUS with an ideal coast-to-coast storm track. The amount of heights rising across the North Pole at 10mb leads me to believe models should trend stronger with blocking as we move along. The blocking will eventually propagate downward into the lower levels of the atmosphere later next week. Just wanted to throw out some ideas I've found valuable to me when trying to figure out the long range pattern. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
