Storm Speculation: 3/12/14

Just saw something on the super reliable accuweather long term forecast. Would be nice to get some snow.

I'm here to post in this important thread. And that's not sarcasm, really.

Tried to find a crappuweather map but no luck.

We do need snow.

I saw that in the app this morning too. Such a tease. We can hope.

Like I've said, I don't read maps but I do follow those who do.  Looks like the ECWMF is showing a big storm next week....while the GFS solution keeps the two branches of the jet separate, which would mean no big storm.  Go ECWMF!

Good discussion on accuweather highlighting the differences between the gfs and the euro regarding this potential event. Start at 3:10 on the video.

Looks like 3/13 -14 for this storm. Possible 12" in the central Daks.

Here's your boy Danzilla, I watched without sound and liked this the best:

The guy is a freakin idiot. All the weather know-it-alls hang out on nyskiblog.

From tonights NWS ALB forecast discussion:

LONG TERM /WEDS NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...

Then all attention turns to a potentially significant storm system forecast to develop across somewhere near the the tennessee valley late tuesday into wednesday...And then may possibly deepen and track
Northeastward along or close to the eastern seaboard.

There is still a lot of spread among various sources of guidance...Both operational and ensembles. The main pieces of energy that might spawn the storm is still well out over the pacific ocean. One of the main questions will be if northern and southern stream energy will phase...Which could result in a more amplified pattern and allow the storm to potentially track up the coast.

Gefs plumes for kalb indicate a wide spread in qpf...Although in the mean there is greater than a 50 percent chance for significant qpf. The models have not had much run-to-run consistency with this system...But this bears watching.

And then there is this:

Discussing storms that are showing up on the 168hr map, just leads to disappointment..
lets not go down the media vortex

This time will be different.  There will be pow. Somewhere. And it will be skied.



Is the media vortex a subsidiary of the polar vortex?

I have to fly to Pittsburgh on Monday and back from Cleveland Thursday. I have a feeling this is going to be crappy week to travel.

the fact that you have to fly, might have just sealed the deal..

I tried embedding. It's well worth the watch- just click the hyperlink

^^ I'm confused.

This certainly making it look like the storm will be pushed south:

i see it as a ridge in the west / trough in the east...stormy and cold

it's just a trend map

I have mixed emotions.  On one hand I would love to see someonething converge and kill us.   On the other hand we usually walk away with blue balls.  If it tracks wrong and we get rain.. season over.  

Why is it that Canada never has any weather according to these maps

Hot dog!
