Pattern Marvelous March

I doubt it, we'll be ready for spring and it will be cold like it should have been in January and February.

Not really. Once the MJO reaches the Indian Ocean in a week or so, it will kickstart a wave train that'll once again drop a trough into the western US & Canadian Rockies by the time we pass the mid point in March & this trough/SER couplet only becomes stronger as the MJO reaches phases 4 & 5. We really don't want a cold pattern in late March anyway because our snow climo is definitely beyond trash esp after March 25.

Bring on the heat !! May even see diurnal t-storms earlier than normal with a SER dome like that and typical daytime heating
 
IS YOU OUT YOUR MIND??? I CAN PUT CLOTHES ON TO STAY WARM, BUT LEGALLY THE POPO WONT LET ME TAKE ENOUGH OFF TO STAY COOL

It’s all about the positives ? Pool weather, cool afternoon pulse storms and there outflows, nice yard, pollen, and soon graduation !!!!!!!
 
0z EPS is generally about the same as the previous run, while the strongest signal remains around March 6th for snow/ice, I wouldn't ignore the first system around March 3-4th.

Some have already thrown in the towel with the first system around March 3-4, but I definitely wouldn't especially considering how close the Euro, EPS, and other NWP were/currently are to producing some snow around the I-40 corridor.

agree, it’s probably the best shot I’ve had at a actual nice accumulating snow since that dec storm, it could still be a big one
 
Models are ******** trash! Flip flop all over the place and have no credibility. Literally has become a joke this year. How has the euro gone from king to just junk like all the rest. Bunch of money put into a bunch of ****!
I’m so confused why ur so angry... I’ve seen no negative trends
 
It’s not a crazy run so far ??‍♂️, still has a good storm but energy is pretty different this run (I couldn’t sleep due to this constant cough/congestion) 202415E9-1171-47E2-8720-391314D73051.jpeg
 
Gfs is speeding up the energy with the “secondary storm”, interesting, quicker you can get that secondary energy in, better shot at some sort of good phasing

EPS looks good, GFS has the storm, and the FV3 totals look more realistic, which I think makes it an even more legit threat. Still looking good right now.
 
Wait , your judging the legitimacy of the threat off the FV3 totals??????

Actually, I was mistaken. I was looking at the GFS totals. But the map isn't so absurd, and the EPS mean is looking good, too. Just saying if all the models are still showing something, then it should be considered more of a legit threat.
 
For the Midlands members: 00z EPS backed off in CAE.. while the 06z GEFS didn't lose members, but much lighter. Looking over this morning's modeling, and we might not get what I had hoped with previous day's modeling.

damn I'll take even some wet snow mixing in with rain at this point! you think that's even possible?
 
You’ll do realize that this snow accum formula is way off, right? S GA, much less far N FL, is NOT even getting snow with 850s comfortably above 0C and the surface well above 32. Tidbits is way off here. This looks plain silly.
Does the Fv3 have a NW bias also?

The FV3 has a strong cold bias. That’s all I know. And these snow maps from tidbits are a joke. This is crap. They do this repeatedly, putting snow where it is much too warm for snow. This problem has nothing to do with the cold bias.

Yep this has been brought up time and time again this winter, those TT snow maps of the FV3 are deceiving to say the least..... and not to get into too much discussion in here about it (because that horse is dead lol) but to your point here is the map from pivotalweather, same hour.

Not sure why the ICON maps aren't putting more sleet/zr/sn in NC. If the temps and precip are to be believed, a lot of ptype shouldn't be "green" on the maps.

Tidbits does not have sleet or freezing rain colors on the ICON, it's just snow or rain, all of us seem to go over this a lot. There's a period of ice all the way down to the SC border on there if you go by those temps.
