Neither the AO or NAO (North Atlantic Oscillation) are favorable for major winter storms, but there are signs of some sort of storm along the East Coast early next week. In less than a year after retiring from NBC10, Glenn Hurricane Schwartz was in the best shape he’d been in a long time.

A very low –AO followed by a quick rise has historically led to snowstorms in the East. Notice how low it got around January 16th. The lower the line drops, the “more negative” the AO gets. Here is the history-and forecast-of the AO:] This helps force the polar vortex southward, and can be a major factor in our snowstorms.

This is the now infamous –AO, or negative Arctic Oscillation. The red colors near the top of the map indicate high pressure building into the Arctic.

So, trace the line back from Philadelphia and it will take you into Canada and even to the top of the map-near the North Pole!] Assume the upper winds follow the lines on the map. Here is the upper-air map for next Wednesday. For signs, we look toward Canada, the Arctic, and Greenland, among other areas. It looks like a colder pattern setting up for at least the middle of the month. And it’s also an “ensemble”, meaning the AVERAGE of what happens when the world’s best is run 51 times. That’s almost the exact opposite! The label on the map says “EPS” which means that it is a product of the European model-the best in the world overall. That shows unseasonable-even record-warmth in the Eastern U.S., with cold weather, even for winter, in the western half of the country. Here is the map of temperatures compared to “normal” at around 5000 feet up today:] (How could it NOT see its’ shadow-it was nothing but sunshine in Punxsutawney Tuesday morning)? And, yes, that includes snow.ĭon’t put away the heavy coats and boots yet, no matter what the Groundhog supposedly said. Then, the four days after that will be kind of warm, at least for the middle of winter. There should be several record high temperatures today.
