Re: February 2016:Tracking Early Month Plains Winter Storm

The 12Z ECMWF is looking very similar to the GEFS around the 240 hour timeframe. A deep cold upper Western trough with a potent storm digging into Northern Mexico with a good shot of cold air moving South out of the Plains into Texas. 01302016 12Z Euro 240 sfcmslpna.png 01302016 12Z Euro 240 500hcf...

Re: February 2016:Tracking Early Month Plains Winter Storm

Can you let us know what this means? Thanks! Basically we are seeing a lot of run to run volatility in the longer range guidance. Some of that volatility may be related to the various Hemispheric phenomena developing such as Polar Stratospheric Warming as well as other indices related to what actua...

Looks like all the northern Gulf coast would! Even those of us in south Louisiana.

Re: January 2016: Chilly & Unsettled Pattern Ahead

Beginning to see some strong signals via the ensembles of rather significant Blocking signature particularly over Greenland where heights are very impressive.

Re: January 2016: Chilly & Unsettled Pattern Ahead

It's way too soon to worry about temperatures much less accurately predicting the shortwave features beyond 3 to be 5 days out. That said the ensembles are advertising some mighty big Hemispheric changes are in the offing. The teleconnection indices during this progressive El Nino Winter Pattern ar...

Re: January 2016: Chilly & Unsettled Pattern Ahead

LOL, 18z GFS keeps parts of SE Texas below freezing from 288 to 384 with single digits showing up in that range. :shock: :lol: We don't need extreme cold to have wintry fun. If it's too cold, it's as though it saps all the moisture. I would take 30 to 35. Also, does anyone know if the air mass is g...

Re: January 2016: Chilly & Wet New Years Weekend

When is the last time the GFS was right this far out? You can't go by that right now. It is going to be all over the place with this.

Which run, the 12Z?
It was the 0z
I believe the 06Z took it away. Don't know what the 12Z showed.

The GFS has been flip flopping every run, so it's anyone's guess.

How about some 20 degree weather Christmas week? That sounds lovely.
