Tom Posted March 4, 2019 Report Share Posted March 4, 2019 With meteorological Winter in the rear view mirror, met Spring has arrived but nature has other plans for our Sub Forum as we progress through #delayed Spring. When will this relentless winter pattern break??? Who will see our first Severe Wx outbreak??? Any signs of warmth on the horizon??? Using the LRC as long range guidance, one can expect to see an active pattern across the central CONUS this Spring and Summer with unusually strong troughs/systems to swing through the central states. In my opinion, I don't foresee a conducive pattern for a long duration period of Spring-like conditions during the month of March. As we head into April, the pattern will finally begin to show signs of real Spring, esp during the 2nd half of April. I do expect a very cold open to April with more late season snows, however, unlike last April, even though the month opens cold, it will break and I'm expecting the ridge to begin to pop across the eastern part of the Sub as the seasonal weakening of the jet and 500mb pattern begins to change. This is when Severe Wx will likely begin to kick into high gear. Let's discuss... Taking a look at the recent trends off the CFSv2 500mb maps, this is the type of pattern that keeps troughs pounding the SW states which ideally occurs during the Spring months. I expect an unusually active Spring across this region as the cyclical pattern should continue to keep the storm track alive and well. With warm building across the south and a warm GOM, look out for a big severe wx month in April across the central/southern Plains. There will be enough cold air lurking out of the north to be able to provide that "ignition" and spark Severe Wx. Spring showers to bring May Flowers??? I'm expecting a fast start to Summer across much of our Sub similar to last year even though May started off on a slow start. I don't see that happening this year and I expect an overall warm start to the month generally speaking. I'm worried about dryness across the GL's region and parts of the MW later in the Spring months and into the early part of Summer before it turns cool/wet during the middle part of Summer. Most of the Plains states will be stuck in a cool/wet pattern throughout Spring/Summer as I don't expect to see any long duration heat waves this season with the exception of the northern Plains/Upper Midwest...and potentially into the GL's early on. Something that I've been pondering on is the idea of seeing unusually strong troughs mid/late Summer. We have seen several episodes of the Polar Vortex since the LRC began to cycle way back in Oct/Nov and I'm convinced we will see unusually strong troughs later in the Summer. With that in mind, the month of July stands out to me when we could see some odd looking troughs hitting our Sub. For several reasons, one of which, is the fact that we are heading into a deep Solar Min and that will aid in this development during the Summer. Will we see a repeat of July '14??? Polar Vortex talk in the Summer??? That would be quite fascinating. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andie Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 I liked the lack of talk on drought. The Southern Plains have had more than their share of it. We expect heat and dry spells, but typically Texas gets a period ( even 2 ) of rain, usually in June and July. It serves to get us past the Aug/Sept. dry we often get. Frankly, last summer just about did me in. The heat and drought was unbearable.

Tom Posted March 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 The latest Euro Seasonal has the look of what I'm expecting to evolve this Spring/Summer. The ridge tries to blossom in the East in April while the Plains states are socked in a BN temp regime. By the time May comes around, I expect the North American Vortex to be tucked near Greenland/Hudson Bay/NE Canada (similar to last year...which, in my personal opinion is a signal the shift in Arctic wx patterns is transpiring) that allows a fast start to summer all across the Upper MW/GL's/MW region. Meanwhile, the central/southern Plains will continue to be wet/cool all throughout the Spring/Summer months.Don't get me wrong, there will be episodes of heat across the heartland but nothing sustained for any long periods this year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted March 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 Is nature saying something??? North American Snow Cover index at decadal highs for so late in the season. While the rest of the Northern Hemisphere begins to see the seasonal melt-off, North America seeks to go against climo. Eurasia... I don't want to cause any pause to those looking for Spring-like weather, but over the last week of watching the models continue to grow stronger on some clues happening in the Strat which I look for in the longer range all are pointing to some very unusual behavior. As a result, the trends off the CFSv2 are slowly starting to see the cool/colder weather hang around as we open up April. I sure hope we don't see a repeat performance like last April. If that Vortex stays put across central Canada and the deep trough near the Aleutians stays put, that'll keep the ridging across NW NAMER locked in keeping the flow out of the Arctic. As advertised, delayed Spring is almost a sure bet to continue into April. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted March 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 Lake Superior has about 94% ice overage and while LM isn’t nearly as bad, the waters will take a while to warm up. The way the pattern is heading over the next few weeks, you can bet your going to see a flow off the lake which ain’t a warm one. I still believe it won’t be till mid and late April the GL’s region sees more consistent Spring warmth. 40’s in late March and early April is not Spring like in my book.

Tom Posted March 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 If your looking for a fast start to Summer, the latest JMA seasonal is showcasing just that across the majority of the northern Sub. While it does show eastern warmth in April, the real deal Summer time warmth/heat may be brewing up in May/June. The 500mb pattern its suggesting across the GL's/Dakotas region is an ideal "heat" machine. Not only that, but in recent years when you place the Vortex near Greenland during this time of year I've noticed this is conducive to produce warmth underneath as the jet is weakening. The wet signal showing up across the central Plains throughout the remainder of the Spring is continuing as are some of the other LR climate models.

Let' see if this is a trend or typical "Spring Shoulder" model mayhem. http://ds.data.jma.go.jp/tcc/tcc/products/model/map/4mE/map1/img/R30_3/Y201903.D0700_gls.png 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we can even things out this AMJ? 2 Quote Winter 2023-24 Snow Total = 52.8" (89% Normal Season) Largest Storm: 12" (1/12-13) Oct: 0.1 Nov: 2.9 Dec: 7.5 Jan: 31.7 Feb: 6.0 Mar: 4.1 Apr: 0.0 Avg = 59.2" (Harrison): 2023-24 = xx.x" 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...
Tom Posted March 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 The JAMSTEC model is indicating a very warm/wet remainder of Spring... http://www.jamstec.go.jp/frcgc/research/d1/iod/2007/forecast/temp2.glob.MAM2019.1mar2019.gif http://www.jamstec.go.jp/frcgc/research/d1/iod/2007/forecast/tprep.glob.MAM2019.1mar2019.gif Interestingly, for the 3rd run in a row, it's the only model holding onto the idea of ENSO neutral conditions by late Summer.. http://www.jamstec.go.jp/frcgc/research/d1/iod/2007/forecast/ssta.nino3.4.fcst.2-yr.1mar2019.gif http://www.jamstec.go.jp/frcgc/research/d1/iod/2007/forecast/ssta.glob.JJA2019.1mar2019.gif Overall, it's advertising a warmer than avg summer except for a small blip in the central Plains where it will be wet. http://www.jamstec.go.jp/frcgc/research/d1/iod/2007/forecast/temp2.glob.JJA2019.1mar2019.gif http://www.jamstec.go.jp/frcgc/research/d1/iod/2007/forecast/tprep.glob.JJA2019.1mar2019.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andie Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 Looks quite typical for Texas. Would anyone like to weigh in on whether it will be average or above average heat ? We would all like to see a summer that doesn't blister us for a month.

Probability standards stand much higher. I.E., if lets say, we were discussing places such as MN or IA, then, for these locales, we can say that there is a possibility that BA temps could be a factor due to being much further north. 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!

Looking closely, it looks like SMI is also a little island of blue among a virtual sea of red.
