1/6/12

The deep low pressure system in Alaska will be going down very soon. After this Sudden Stratospheric Warming event, the warming may begin to propagate downwards. Either way, we will be seeing this Alaskan Low erode as progressive storm systems crossing the Alaska will pull its energy away. That, combined with the persistent ridge in the far upper Northern Hemisphere, will work to get a ridge in place where the Alaskan low WOULD be. That ridge will provide building grounds for some serious winter storms.

Will any of these severely effect VALPARAISO INDIANA.

How serious are we talking here?

AJ: This is only an update on the weather pattern and not a reference to any specific storms. Even if it was, I probably wouldn't have the confidence to answer that question.

Anonymous: 'Serious' as in 'significant accumulations possible'.

Do you see any of these storms affecting the Ohio area?Do these systems look to be forming in the southwest and moving northeast?Do these look to produce 6" or more from each storm system that may form?

Mike: You probably didn't see this before you posted, but this is not to focus in on any specific storms. This is not to determine tracks, but to get a handle on the weather pattern.
