Rainshadow Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 The only consistency that jumps out at me on these maps are Alaska & Mexico being warm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because if it's mjo driven I wonder how that will evolve when we get a little more into February when the MJO goes into warm phases. Though, as of now the wave looks pretty weak and the mjo really hasn't been driving the pattern. Considering we just came out of a very cold week while we were in a torch phase. Also, the AAM still wants to side in nina phase as it looks right now if you adjust for gefs bias. So still have to be on the look out for how long that +pna if it does develops sustains itself. this still applies to my thoughts that I made a week ago. Not sure how long this pattern would sustain itself. It looks like one of the main culprits is the tropical forcing going into favorable phases for eastern cold. But what happens when that forcing goes warm at some point in february? I think then we would need help from the pv and any disruptive shots to it. Also, not sure how long the pna ridge sustains itself either. The theme of the winter has been any ridging out there has been very brief if any at all. I think the tropical forcing is helping to aid in a pna spike but it looks like we may get a wave train induced -epo hit again. That would argue for any ridging out west to be flattened out possibly. So I think we do see a pna spike at some point in lat ejan early, feb but after that I'm not sure how long it lasts with the tropical forcing waning and the possible emergence of another -epo. If we get a ssw or pv split, then everything the ball game changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombo82685 Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 The gefs are still pretty bullish on a stratospheric warming event that displaces the pv off the pole. I don't see a pv split yet, but the warming is there. It would be nice to see the epv flux going poleward for a real shot at a pv breakup but so far that isn't in the cards just yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if they both trend unfavorably I would think you would lean towards a warmer regime. I don't see a pv split right now, so the pv is remaining consolidated. But there is a big warming signal that pushes the pv off the pole for a -ao, which would help bring colder air down to the mid latitudes. If that warming wanes and the pv goes back over the pole and the mjo turns to more unfavorable phases than at first glance yea. There are also other driving factors like wave breaks and wave 1 or 2 hits that can bring cold down too. Outside of 10 days you can't tell if they materialize. I'm just throwing ideas out, creating some discussion in this rather mundane period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once past day 9 thats when the warming starts to kick in at 10mb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombo82685 Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Today's run of the euro has a big warming signal at 10mb by day 9. 30mb looks like it would get hit after day 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you posted earlier, looks like with the cfs2 is inferring about some relaxation of the +pna/-epo in Feb also. Again its "out there" in time, so buyer beware.

irishbri74 Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 The jet extension and retraction that was modeled consistently last week is still on track. Pretty good job of models sniffing it out: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the caveat about the MJO beyond 10 days, one can see that its on sched to assist in the colder regime last five days or so of the month, but carrying it forward if it is the dog and regardless of a sv split or not (its effects would not be instantaneous) , warmer temp phases arrive during the first half of Feb.

I'm not so sure Mitch. The rebuilding of the pattern for winter weather in the east may take some time as a +PNA (way out in the future) too far east will create a pattern that may be cold enough, but nothing to turn storm up the coast.

Looks weaker in the bad phases, EC then goes 7,8,1 etc starting at the 13th. Phase 3 still cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tombo82685 Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 I would imagine this gets colder once we get closer. But it's just LOL worthy right now. so you get an H5 like this, flow from Alaska 850 temps like this The surface temps that are normal lolololol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
