February 2021

[StormNine]

The long-range pattern is starting to resemble a pattern favorable for overrunning events during the first half of the month.  This likely will be our last window this winter minus a mid-March to April hail-mary as late Feb has a higher than normal chance to be a continent-wide blowtorch.

yeah these next 3 weeks  or so can

0z EPS now has a full blown negative EPO while maintaining neg AO/NAO. PNA is slightly negative. Should have a fairly cold pattern coming up after the first few days of February.

I viewed TWC's extended forecast for my area. I just had to laugh at this:

A forecast for 3 to 5 inches, 9 days away. I know this is generated by an algorithm, but still. I think it would be wise to not include any forecast for specific accumulation amounts more than 5-7 days in advance. After a week, maximum, it should say, "accumulating snow possible."


Of course, Accuweather does that out to 90 days, but they've always been on crack over there.

The 0Z GFS shows the coldest air of the season arriving between 2/5 thru 2/12.  If it verifies, our Winter weather chances increase significantly with this air mass over our region.

The CMC is a complete opposite of that. Given it's still beyond 7 days out, i wouldn't doubt if that extreme is backed off from.

[Curt]

The NAO and AO looks to hit perhaps record negative levels over the next 2 weeks and beyond. EPO going to try and go negative as well. Not sure how much the PNA will cooperate but a little resistance isn

We've seen this before but both the GFS and PGFS have all kind of potential in the long range.

I like the fact that some of these good looks keep working closer in time. We'll see if it holds or if the rug gets pulled, but a period of favorable cold at least looks more and more likely.

9 days out + NW Trend = I'll take it.

Day 10 Euro has brutal cold to our NW. Talking -30 to -40F 2m temps up in northern Montana and just over the Canadian border. That is impressive cold. It will be interesting to watch what happens with all that cold over the next few days.

Thank goodness. They are way overdue for a cold spell like that. Eastern MT and Alberta have torched all winter.

Pretty much all teleconnections on the 12z EPS are favorable for an huge arctic intrusion except the PNA which is highly unfavorable. It really tries to push southeast but just can

It will be interesting to see if we finally get a true cold shot. I do think in early  February to Mid February seems to be our best last chance to see a week or 2 window on good winter weather. It would be nice to at least get one good to great winter weather event between now and mid february. If we somehow manage multiple good events I would be happy and wouldn't care if the rest of february and march went warm. It would send me into mowing season happy. Also in closing, I was watching the Tennessee mens basketball game against Mississippi State the other night and they mentioned that 1/3 of all meteorologist come from Mississippi State. I never knew that, it's pretty wild if you think about it.
