Money Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 Tom, what's the reason for the sudden NW trend on all the models? It's not just a minor shift, it's a major shift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Increase the storms intensity, you tug down more arctic air and booyaa... Yeah, but increase the intensity, it may shift NW and miss us like the first wave; then again, it seems the runs where the storm shifts NW and runs into the block have been weaker, so maybe in this case if it shifts SE it maintains its strength. Definitely an interestingly snowy week for much of Wisco even if Chicago and Milwaukee are left in the rainy or dry sector. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I'm not Tom, but it's partly the reality of climo, it's hard for the arctic front to press quite as far south as it had been modeled.

That's a good question, but I suspect its bc the first piece of energy ejects out ahead of the driving trough into Montana and the Dakotas. The heights over the Lakes are not being affected much by the ULL near Ontario and so it goes due east. Once the energy is over the Lakes, it drags a trailing cold front behind it and the 2nd piece then develops and heads NNE. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been watching the CFSv2 for a while now and this was the pattern it depicted weeks ago and its coming into fruition now. I like the idea of a secondary low pressure developing from the southern Plains into the Lakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true, the westward correction is to be documented as well wrt the trough, which should help us maybe avoid suppression later this season if it becomes a staple of the model mayhem.

WildWisconsinWeather Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 GFS Par looking like it wants to dig south... It is south, but these models shifted over 100 miles north yesterday in many cases, so it's going to take some big shifts south to bring the great threat back to Milwaukee and esp the northern burbs of Chicago.

Like I said yesterday, I've seen it way too many times where models have this huge NW trend only to bring it back south as the event nears. I've seen it both ways, so I wouldn't count out a south track although climo would probably agree with the north trend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By tomorrow this time I'd imagine the models will hone in on a track and decipher what to do with both pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So yes, I can see the models trend back south like they showed 2 days ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
