Geos Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 I thought I would start a thread that can cover medium to long range discussion regarding the back half of winter. Anything beyond day 7 I would consider medium range and anything after about 14 days - long range. We've definitely have a cold looking pattern the remainder of January, but what about February? Henry M. today was discussing the possibility of a split flow and milder pattern in February that could start a stormy pattern. With storms that would come off the Pacific and traverse the country, instead of them originating in Canada.

Geos Posted January 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 Henry was saying that rising SOI values will help to flattened out the Pacific jet towards February and hopefully drive moisture into the West Coast from top to bottom. The result in this region would be bigger storms sweeping up from the west and southwest.

Tom Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 The system poised to hit the PAC NW end of January and develop over the Plains may be the kick start to that stormier pattern. The LRC will be reaching its stormiest part of the cycle so it will be interesting if we can get some juicy storms to dump heavy moisture where some have not seen this whole winter. JB touched on the fact that Feb may turn out to be a country divided from north to south in terms of cold/warm. He used the winter analogs of '17/'18 and during that winter the severe cold pattern took a break in February except for the northern half of the country.

Utrex Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 Wonder if the changing MJO has anything to do with this sudden change? If the EURO sways this way, then maybe it will be more noteworthy.The ridge sitting out of the east coast will move into the Eastern U.S. and as a result will shift the PV over to Western Canada, thus dropping the jet stream into the west coast and push the ridge that is currently over the western U.S. into the Aleutian Islands.

Tom Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 What a difference between the GFS and Euro in the 7-10 Day. GFS sends a more zonal flow...meanwhile, Euro keeps the cold coming through the extended. GFS is having its typical problems. Euro/GGEM have the right idea IMO. GGEM has an intense Clipper ripping through the Midwest in the 9-10 Day and so does the Euro but not as strong. Keep the Clipper train coming!

Geos Posted January 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 18z GFS still has a pattern change coming after next weekend. I can see it happening if the NE Pacific ridge breaks down and ridge off the East Coast moves westwards. AO and NAO forecast to go positive now. _ +PNA All this would suggest a shift in the pattern with an unsettled West and Midwest, mild SE and East Coast. Most forecasters were saying February would be different and it definitely looks like that right now. Colder areas shift from the Hudson Bay and Great Lakes region towards the Canadian Rockies.

Tom Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 No matter which way you look at it, its going to be a brutal finish to the month. IMO, the GEFS 500mb map above is off and there will be more of a SW Flow developing end of the month into Feb just like the set up in December with a SE ridge developing in February. The fun and games tracking big storms will start end of January and through the month of February. It's going to be a wild finish to winter with 4-6 weeks of exciting times.

Tom Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 If the pattern does break, it will be only for a couple days as a transition in the jet stream will evolve and create a SW Flow. The jet stream will be at its peak in intensity during the early later parts of January and early February. I don't see a prolong period of warmth in our region. Depending on of course if a storm tracks to our north ushering in warmer temps. Overall, I expect the main storm track nearby or just to our south. Early Feb I see another push of colder air. We are in a pattern that Ol' Man Winter just keeps on giving, don't see that changing anytime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted January 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 I don't see where we would go back to our current pattern after this flip occurs. Sure I can see it staying wintry, but it seems once lows get established off the west coast they usually stay awhile. Have to factor in the awakening of the MJO, which is supposed to loop within phases 6-7. Time will tell whether we see anymore Polar air in the Great Lakes.

Tom Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Geo's, I didn't say we would be locked into the NW Flow we are currently in. Maybe you misunderstood but what I said is we are going to change the overall jet stream pattern and instead of coming out of the NW, it will be coming out of the SW with systems hitting the PAC NW and bringing much needed moisture into Cali (esp northern half). I see a lot of storms coming out of CO/4 Corners region beyond 10 days from now. This is when we will start seeing bigger/juicier storm systems hitting the Plains/Midwest/GL.

Tom Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Nice map. That's exactly what I was thinking and how the pattern looked like in December overall. I don't see the Polar Vortex making a visit into the GL like this month but pieces may break off of it from time to time after storm systems pass on by.

Tom Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 GFS starting to show that active west/east storm track that is giving the Plains much needed moisture that was expected. February could bring some blockbuster storms across the Plains/Midwest/GL region. With a -PNA, not sure if the east coast gets too many snow storms in this type of pattern. Interior locations will probably do better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryant Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 MJO, AO, PNA update. MJO spiking into Phase 6 now. http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/precip/CWlink/MJO/ensplume_full.gif MJO is actually entering the Western Hemisphere (7-8) currently, but only the upper level wind signal remains due to less convection over the Western Hemisphere. The strengthening MJO signal you see above is a convective kelvin wave which originated over the west Pacific. As this Kelvin wave shifts east and dies off, the lack of convection over the tropical pacific will cause the currently extended north pacific jet to retreat back to east Asia. This is when the PNA ridge breaks down and the west finally has a chance at a stormier and cooler pattern. Not to mention, a sign of relief hopefully for those in California. MJO looks to reach the eastern Indian Ocean and Maritime Continent regions in 3-4 weeks (mid Feb), at which point I believe the cold will once again focus over the west. While the QBO won't help initiate the MJO anytime soon, we are on the rise as far as climo has to say when it comes to MJO activity. Given the current SST's along the equator, seems as though Maritime Continent and Western Pacific regions may be favored if we see a decent MJO wave develop. This lines up with the what others have been saying about a late winter rally for the west.

Tom Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 As I alluded to before, if blocking starts to develop over Greenland towards the end of Feb/beginning of March...look out. March can come rolling in like a Lion. For the first time this season, CFSv2 has been consistently showing a -NAO developing and this can be the so called "hand off" with respect to teleconnections for the eastern CONUS later on. If that blocking does in fact develop, I don't see any signs of a warm up. In fact, more cold and storminess may start targeting the east coast and persistent cold from the eastern half of the nation and the GL region may get involved in a "Clipper Train" and/or pacific storms riding the ridge and sliding SE along the thermal boundary. In my opinion, if this does develop, winter wont be over in March. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted February 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 This forum is for the entire country, hence all the separate regional sub forums. I can see how this pattern does shift towards something more normal and milder about the time frame Larry Cosgrove has been pointing at - the 13th. We've lost the -NAO, the +PNA/ west coast ridge all the way to Alaska, and the AO is now forecasted to rise highly positive. Both the GFS and EURO are showing a shift of some sort beyond next weekend. GFS goes from this... To this... The cold anomalies in Canada and the southeast continue to part as Pacific air intrudes into the country further towards the 12th-17th part of the month. Look out in Alaska, below normal pool organizing near the Gulf of Alaska on this run. Beginning to think this month might end up being bi-polar for areas especially east of the Rockies with the exception of near the Canadian border and up towards New England. I see the way it could stay cold longer, but I can see how the pattern breaks down too. Edit: 0z EURO showing the cross-polar flow getting severed around the 10th or should I say redirected into AK.

Sometimesdylan Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 It's been cooling off here for sure. This has been a pretty impressive break in the weather, first a crazy inversion and now it's kind of back to winter. Wondering if we'll get any snow in this transition. Usually when we get a ridge in the Yukon the models will show us getting a decent overrunning event in the 7 day range and then as that time comes the event just keeps getting pushed back.

Of significant note, this meteorologist accurately predicted the pattern for this winter back in the autumn. Looking at the EPO and WPO forecasts, they both flip eventually. With the PNA negative and the NAO positive, the change in the teleconnections above will likely help break this cold pattern towards the last 10 days of the month.
