Phil Posted February 6, 2021 Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 The closest 500mb analog for this pattern might actually be January 1969. Trying to think of others..anyone have ideas?

I’m just always skeptical when the models want to push a big blob of very cold air over us with undercutting moisture, when there really isn’t much of a 500mb mechanism to push it/hold it south. Not much of a coherent offshore blocking signal on these runs. Very messy setup in the upper levels. Sometimes that works out though! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much of a coherent offshore blocking signal on these runs. Verbatim the cold derives from the fact the TPV itself (IE: the cold air machine) is dislodged into SW Canada by a *retrograding* -NAO. The retrograde is the key. Pacific blocking is mediocre, sure, but even mediocre upstream blocking might be sufficient here, given the forcing is quasi-inverted..it isn’t coming from the Pacific early on. How the Pacific evolves after the retrogression is much more important (for duration of the cold). 5 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...
