Hey my name is Matthew Hatley. I am 16 and I always loved the weather ever since I was a baby. I used to stand at the door and watch the lightning during thunderstorms. I was a little chap when I used to do that. I am a meterologist for mainly the southeast but occasinally I do forecasts for the whole country. I do my best to give information about the weather to people who ask me what the weather will be like for the day, or the week. My favorite time of the year is winter. I do the best weather forecasting during the winter. I enjoy all of the people who view my forecast, but not only mine but all the other forecasters at Weatheradvance.com

Yeah, and the 2 back to back snowy winters (09-10 &10-11), greatest snowpack on record this past December over the northern hemisphere, the greatest US Christmas snowpack since 1996, the greatest new year’s snowpack over the US since 1989, one of the largest stratospheric warming events on record, and an unusually large snowstorm that occurred over southwest Texas and northern Mexico is the “new normal”. Coming from the guy who said this winter is over, I just hope you realize how large of a hole you have dug yourself with that claim.

Lol, I know, but for right now, I am not going to pay to much attention to precise winter storms due to the unusually high variability in this pattern, and with so much arctic air coming down near and after the 20th, the models and many of the forecasters seem to be having a tough time handling this changing pattern. Although this might surprise you, I think the southern US (especially towards areas where it snowed in early January over SW Texas, northern Mexico and extending a little farther to the north and east) may get a winter storm, due to the pattern once again looking favorable for some winter weather over areas that saw snow in early January (that forecast for a winter storm over the southern US in early Jan did verify by the way, amazingly, heavy snow occurred well into Mexico). This favorable pattern I’m alluding to is when you get trough and/or a gyre of low pressure in the vicinity of eastern Canada, with a trough that extends eastward into the Atlantic, then another disturbance that lays back to the south and west, with ridging over the western US and extending into NW Canada, and a trough of low pressure that is positioned near and just west of the Gulf of Alaska. In this particular case, this disturbance over the southwestern US is currently enveloped in very cold air coming out of northern and northwestern Canada, and as it comes east, it will be able to draw moisture not only from the eastern Pacific, but also from the Gulf of Mexico, and it may still have enough cold air to go along with that moisture to make potentially make things interesting, especially towards the southern Plains.

How many times have I said not to watch models, especially when they are flip-flopping, and when you look at the conditions at hand it gives you an idea where the models and teleconnections should go. Regardless, I’m not budging on my ideas that I’ve had since early December for cold to come later in winter (more specifically towards late Jan-Feb).
Here’s something I said on another blog where I explain the conditions at hand, and this just shows you can not just look at models and suddenly give-up or even come up with a totally new idea or forecast, especially in this instance where the conditions at hand are competing with one another for different signals in the pattern (MJO and 25-30 day sunspot cycle versus the AO, NAO, PNA, of course the solar cycles and the tropical oscillation easily overpower these mid-high latitude oscillations, another reason why it is warm at the moment, however the sunspot cycle will be heading towards it minimum towards late January, and the MJO will be entering octant 8 and leaving the western Pacific, possibly even leading to another Kelvin Wave.)
“What I do understand for the moment is that with this current increase in solar activity, this increase in energy received to earth’s surface would have the greatest impact on the equatorial Pacific. The reason is because as temperature increases, so does the amount of energy between each degree increment of change, and considering that the oceans have 1000x the energy capacity of the atmosphere this change in the amount of energy with increasing temperature is amplified. So, taking all of this information into account and considering that the equatorial Pacific has the greatest amount of area covering the equator, and the fact that the amount of energy received to earth’s surface is greatest in the region that sees more direction radiation (near the equator) then it makes sense as to why a subtle change in the sunspot cycles will have a much greater effect in the exchange in energy over the Pacific. When you look at the MJO, which was in and around the Indian Ocean for much of December, and compare it to the global ocean temperature anomaly map, you’ll see that one of the main reasons as to why the MJO (essentially a region in which there is rising motion over the tropics) the higher ocean temperatures promote rising air. Once the sunspot cycles began to increase, (as mentioned above), this had the greatest influence on the equatorial Pacific, and with the above normal temperature anomalies towards the western Pacific, it would make sense as to why the MJO would come out strongly into the Pacific. I did mention the models were trying to hold the MJO back into Octants 6 and 7, and the reason I has believed they were wrong is because the Atlantic is also considerably warm and deep into its warm AMO, and it would not make any sense for the MJO to just go back into the “igloo” before at least coming through the Atlantic, and it seemed that with a below normal east-central Pacific, there was a “disconnect” between the warmth over the western Pacific and the Atlantic, but when you look at some of the newest MJO forecasts, notice how they have corrected more towards octants 7 and are starting to approach octant 8 in the longer range. The MJO in these octants promotes plenty of cold and snow for the eastern US, because when you get rising motion over the tropics, your essentially forcing more thunderstorms to form over a particular region of the tropics, and over a period of time, the pressures fall due to the thunderstorm activity. When the mid-latitude troughs swing through in a west-east fashion, and with a general region of high pressures found near 30 degrees north and south latitude “horse latitudes” these lower pressures over the tropics can essentially “break through” this natural region of high pressures, allow for a mid-latitude trough over the region of rising motion to dig deeper and become stronger as a result. This stronger trough allows for more cold air to be infused within the trough, and under our current situation, such a pattern with one of the strongest stratospheric warming events on record forcing a displacement of the polar vortex, such a change in the MJO could have very dramatic results and could lead to abnormally cold weather beginning in late January, and potentially lasting through February, which is something I have been saying since early December. This is also supported by the northern hemisphere snowfall anomaly for October which showed well below normal snowfall in early October, then went to very above normal in the 2nd half of the month, suggesting that winter would start out slow, but the 2nd half would be much colder and snowier than the 1st half, and then when I witnessed similarities in the 500 millibar pattern with December 1984, and with the oncoming stratospheric warming event from the Kelvin Wave, displaced polar vortex at different levels of the atmosphere, and the increased snowpack (increased snowpack reflects 85-90% of solar radiation which cools the surrounding air and forces the slowing of air molecules within this airmass, the layers of atmosphere above, in order to compensate for this contraction of the lower layers of the atmosphere, the layers above expand, thus indicative of warmer air. As the snowpack remains high, this layer of cold air spreads like a disease upward through the troposphere and causes further warming in the layers above, and combined with the Kelvin Wave, this leads to a major stratospheric warming event which in turn leads to significant cooling at the surface and helps to drive the AO, NAO negative and lead to major arctic outbreaks over the US.)”

I know you’ve been wondering what a Kelvin Wave is, and I think one of my previous posts gives the best explanation and how it relates to the overall pattern.
“Thanks to the Kelvin Wave, the strong region of high pressure over the northern Pacific was weakened severely, due to the Kelvin Wave inducing more thunderstorm over the eastern side of the Pacific as it came eastward. The increase in thunderstorm activity over the eastern Pacific, or a lack thereof towards the western Pacific, allowed for surface pressures to fall in response over the eastern side of the Pacific. This makes sense given that air spreads outwards in all directions in regions of high pressure, in order to accommodate for the more densely packed air particles the air spreads out in all directions to get rid of the excess air particles in a given space, and thus, like all things in nature a state of equilibrium is reached, or attempted to be reached. The opposite occurs in regions of low pressure, where air rushes into a certain space in order to try and balance out the lower amount of air particles in a given space.
This visual anatomy of a high pressure system, although a relatively basic concept of how air spreads out in order to compensate for the increase in density of air particles, it helps to better understand what was occurring over the Pacific during the Kelvin Wave.
This visual anatomy of a surface low pressure system, showing how air rushes in at the surface (due to a lower concentration of air particles in a given space), and then escapes upwards where it cools and eventually spreads out forming upper level high pressure. A similar process occurs with the polar vortex, and this is a good reason why when air is not rushing into the polar vortex in the stratosphere (like in east QBO) that the vortex becomes disturbed and stratospheric warming occurs.
Considering and applying these basics of meteorology to the Kelvin Wave helps to understand the inner workings of this situation, and it makes more sense as to why this Kelvin Wave occurred. The air spreading out of air in all directions in the western Pacific to the slightly lowered pressures over the eastern Pacific means that the air flow over the Pacific at the surface was west to east, or at least slowed in the “normal” easterly direction. This slowing of the normal easterlies that are over the tropics due to the Coriolis Effect causes the natural incline of the surface waters over the Pacific from east to west that are more than 30-40 centimeters higher towards the western side as opposed to the eastern side to become displaced and since the Pacific Ocean is so large this displacement can only be compensated by large-scale waves, known as Kelvin Waves.
The MJO at the time of this Kelvin Wave was over the Indian Ocean, and may be yet another reason as to why this Kelvin Wave occurred. Interestingly, when you get the MJO over the Indian Ocean, this forces pressures to fall over that region due to the enhanced upward motion, and in response downward motion is produced over the western Pacific. This downward motion over the western Pacific forces the pressures to rise and for thunderstorm activity to decrease. As explained in this post, this rise in pressures over the western Pacific in relation to the eastern Pacific may be what helped to lead to this Kelvin Wave, which has dramatically altered the pattern over the northern hemisphere and has helped to bring colder and snowier conditions to much of the US.
As explained in my previous post, the Kelvin Waves bring warmer water to the eastern Pacific and in essence induce more thunderstorms over the eastern side of the Pacific, and as the air rises through the troposphere it cools and eventually spreads out, generally in the upper troposphere and the lower stratosphere. With the higher pressure near the tropopause, this forces the wind direction at this level to be opposite of that of what’s occurring over the Pacific, thus the winds are going from east to west (east QBO), and when you extrapolate this wind direction over the entire northern hemisphere, it goes in a clockwise fashion, which would induce more anticyclonic motion in the northern hemisphere which is associated with high pressure. When you have this occurring against the polar vortex (a region of low pressure in the stratosphere), this slows the amount of air that rushes into the vortex, thus it becomes disturbed and is prone to being affected by stratospheric warming events.
This picture posted in a previous post showing the temperature anomalies and the amount of blocking during the east and west phases of the QBO. The current phase of the QBO that we are in is east-based (shown in the top half of the image) favoring more cold over the US due to the disruption of the polar vortex, and with the vortex disrupted and weakened by the east QBO, arctic air intrusions are much more common over the US and throughout much of the mid-latitudes.
Many of you probably wonder why I focus so much on the tropics, especially the equatorial Pacific and make forecasts based off of MJO, Kelvin Waves, and QBO, and I don’t like to focus nowhere near as much on more well known factors like the NAO and AO, which have a large effect on the winter pattern. The reason why I focus on the tropics so much in long range forecasting is quite logical. In the tropics where more direct sunlight is received, the temperatures are naturally warmer, and as you increase the temperature, the amount of energy exchange per degree increment is greater than that of colder temperatures. This means that it takes a similar amount of energy to change the temperature 1 degree around 80 degrees as it does to change the temperature 10-15 degrees or more when the temperature is below zero like it is near the poles. Then you combine this with the fact that the oceans have 1000x the energy capacity as the atmosphere, and that the Pacific Ocean is not only the largest ocean, but has the largest amount of surface area laying over the equator, it makes a lot of sense as to why the ENSO index is so heavily focused on. A great example of this occurred relatively recently when we were in the midst of a warm pattern over the US near the beginning of December, despite the AO and NAO being negative, which would support cold and snow over the US. This left many people and meteorologists alike scratching their heads as to why this was the case, so many went to blame the PNA, but the PNA has remained relatively unchanged in its negative state since the beginning of November, and since the beginning of November, there were a few cold shots into the eastern and central US, so this clearly was not the culprit. Despite the favorable NAO and AO, the temperatures across the US the first week of December were blowtorch warm
Here’s what I said in my post on December 9th about the Kelvin Wave (feel free to take another look at it if you like) and this may offer even more information to help you understand it
“As far as the state of our ENSO neutral conditions over the tropical Pacific, I understand that there has been some uncertainty regarding the fact that we may in fact go back to complete neutral or even cool neutral, but recent observation and evidence is beginning to show that the warm neutral-weak el nino conditions are likely to hang tough over the tropical Pacific through this winter. In just the past few days (as something I have noted initially from Joe Bastardi) that the SOI has crashed deeply negative, and with the presence of a strong Kelvin Wave, there’s plenty of reason to believe these warm ENSO neutral conditions over the tropical Pacific are not going anywhere anytime soon. Some of you may not be too familiar with the SOI and Kelvin waves and how they work and relate to the overall state of the ENSO and the conditions over the tropical Pacific, so let me explain. The SOI is a measure of the pressure differential between Darwin, Australia and Tahiti, which is on the French Polynesian island in the south-central Pacific. When the pressures are lower than normal at Tahiti, and above normal in Darwin, the SOI is negative, the opposite is true when pressures are above normal at Tahiti and below normal at Darwin, the SOI in that case is considered to be positive. A positive SOI value of 8 or greater is usually associated with La nina conditions because with the above normal pressures farther east in the Pacific, this helps to enhance the easterlies in the tropics. This makes sense because of the natural air flow to go from areas of high pressure towards regions of low pressure at the surface, and when the higher pressures are to the east in the Pacific, as what is indicative under positive SOI values, this leads to enhanced tropical easterlies, which induces la nina conditions. The exact opposite is true under el nino conditions, with the above normal pressures towards Darwin, Australia, and the lower pressures farther to the east towards Tahiti. Since the higher pressures are weighted towards the western Pacific in this case, this will enforce more westerly air flow at the surface, and will help to slow down the tropical easterlies, which leads to the formation of el nino events
Here is a pictorial of generally how the “Walker Circulation” works. Under normal conditions as shown above, the normal tropical easterlies (created by the Coriolis Effect and uneven heating of Earth’s surface by the sun) across the Pacific force rising motion of air as they enter the western Pacific, and the enhancement of the winds over the eastern Pacific cools those waters down, and the cooling of the waters raises the air pressures. The raised air pressures over the eastern Pacific force pressures to fall over the western Pacific, and thus the air is forced to rise over the western Pacific in response to that. As the warmer air rises upwards it cools, and over time, this cooled air cools enough so that it becomes dense enough to come back down to the surface. This sinking motion of the air near the surface forms surface high pressure, and over time, this air residing near the surface warms due to the sun’s heating and rises once again over the western Pacific under normal conditions.
What the Walker Circulation does is, with the tropical easterlies in place blowing from east to west, this wind pushes the water towards the western Pacific, kind of like blowing on a spoonful of hot soup, the wind churns up the water nearest to the wind source, thus cooling it off, and towards the other end the water is raised in reaction to the lowering of the amount of soup on the other end of the spoon. A similar process occurs in the Pacific Ocean, although on a exponentially larger scale.
The thunderstorms produced over the western Pacific not only help to lower surface pressures and increase rainfall, but another effect of the thunderstorms (like any other thunderstorms) is the turbulence created by their updrafts. This turbulence can force winds to go in the opposite direction of the natural tropical easterlies, and over longer periods of time, these reversed winds can help to slow down, and even stop the progression of the easterly winds over the equatorial Pacific. As these winds slow down, large-scale waves are produced as result, and these waves are called equatorial Kelvin Waves. These Kelvin waves help to bring warmer water from the western Pacific to the eastern Pacific, and these warmer waters help to force the pressures to drop over the eastern and central Pacific, thus the naturally strong easterly winds flowing over the tropics are much weaker as result, and the el nino can form and intensify. The Kelvin Waves move vertically through the troposphere and eventually reach the tropopause (the division line between the troposphere and the stratosphere), and as the energy from these Kelvin Waves reaches the stratosphere it has strong influence on the QBO. This is important because the state of the QBO helps to determine the overall strength of the polar vortex and the effects sudden stratospheric warming events have on the mid-latitudes in the winter.
In the picture above you can see the basic components of a westwardly propagating Kelvin Wave as described above. These Kelvin waves associated with the ENSO index and the Walker Circulation have drastic effects on the QBO, and the QBO has strong influence on stratospheric warming events and the polar vortex which are both known to have very large effects on the overall winter weather pattern.
Now, when you combine what has been already said about the Kelvin waves and apply it to the QBO, which has influences on the NAO, AO, stratospheric warming events, and the polar vortex you can get a really good idea of what this winter may be like. Remember what I said about how the air flows in the Walker Circulation, as the warm surface air rises, it carries moisture up through the atmospheric column, and eventually reaches the stratosphere where it spreads out in all directions. As the air remains well above the surface, over long periods of time, it cools. Once it becomes cool enough it sinks back down to the surface, where it will warm up over a long period of time and eventually go back up into the stratosphere. With a strong Kelvin wave currently being observed over the tropical Pacific, (which has helped to crash the SOI values), this implies for a east (negative QBO). With the air near the surface moving westward across the Pacific (or not as strong to the east), this forces the air in the stratosphere to go in the opposite direction, (in this case, to the east) because as air naturally rises through regions of surface low pressure it eventually reaches the stratosphere where it spreads out in regions of upper-level high pressure, and this forces the air at the stratosphere to move in the opposite direction.
Here are the QBO temperature maps over the northern hemisphere for the east and west QBO. Notice how the east QBO features much more cold air over the mid-latitudes (more similar to that of a -AO & -NAO), whereas the west QBO (positive phase) looks more like a positive AO with a stronger polar vortex bundling cold air in the higher latitudes.
This makes sense because think of the polar vortex as a large region of low pressure in the stratosphere. When you have a west QBO, where winds are moving from the west over the Pacific in the stratosphere. Since the polar vortex is a large region of low pressure in the stratosphere, west winds naturally curving naturally with the Coriolis over the Pacific would support a counter-clockwise motion in the stratosphere. Since regions of low pressure in the northern hemisphere rotate in a counter-clockwise fashion, counter-clockwise motion in the stratosphere thanks to the west QBO would help to strengthen the polar vortex. With a stronger polar vortex, cold air gets bundled in the arctic, and the AO and NAO have a tendency to positive for the majority of the winter. However, this year the QBO is east thanks to the warm neutral conditions over the tropical Pacific being induced by an increase in eastwardly propagating Kelvin wave activity. Unlike what occurs in a west QBO, an easterly QBO induces east winds over the tropical Pacific in the stratosphere. As these winds rotate around the global tropics starting from the Pacific, they move in a clockwise motion in the stratosphere. This is significant because the polar vortex, which is a region of cold low pressure that resides in the arctic stratosphere, needs to rotate in a counter-clockwise motion in order to maintain intensity and keep the polar stratosphere cold. This east QBO with winds going in the opposite direction of the polar vortex, force the winds in the stratosphere to slow down or even reverse direction in some cases. These sudden changes in the stratosphere can lead to major stratospheric warming events, which are notorious for producing very large and prolonged periods of arctic air over the mid-latitudes. Makes sense why the polar vortex would become disturbed with winds in the stratosphere going in the opposite direction, because, like all regions of low pressure, the vortex needs a constant supply of air rushing into its center in order to strengthen or at least, maintain intensity. The reversal of the winds cut-off this supply of air rushing into the vortex in the stratosphere, thus the polar vortex weakens, or splits in some cases, and this opens the door for stratospheric warming events and plenty of arctic blocking to take place and influence the NAO and AO to crash negatively.”

There’s still some uncertainty as to precisely how cold it will get, but I think you should get below 0 in Columbus, OH, after Jan 20 with wind, makes it feel much colder. Snow is a different story, lots of uncertainty as to where, when, and precisely how much snow shows up for a particular area of the US, although threats for snow should be prevalent as pattern progresses through late Jan & February.

Wow, I didn’t know it was that complex. I don’t know what other than meteorology you will major in, in college, but that was incredible. I think taking atmospheric physics and dynamics would make it much easier to understand the weather. You mentioned the Coriolis effect, and it is amazing how forms of physical and particle sciences relate so closely to the weather. It is so much more than meteorology. In fact, I have a passion for science, however, even though I love meteorology and weather and snow, it is a hobby. I would be ashamed of you if you didn’t put that knowledge to good use. At 16 years old, you are one of the smartest people I’ve met, even though I haven’t really “met” you. Do you get frustrated when people say “it’s going to snow tomorrow. 2-4 inches. TWC says so.” I think to myself, “you don’t know anything guys. Gosh if you knew what I know.” And now I think to myself, “gosh, if you know what I know Eric knows!” I just had to get that out there even though it was confusing. Thank you for the explanation!

You are very welcome, and expect the Kelvin Wave to come up in future posts and comments of mine, and actually some meteorologists really do not understand how precisely the Kelvin wave is intertwined with other things in the weather besides ENSO. Foe the potential winter weather tuesday night, I do not see how you’re going to end up with 6 inches lol, not on the backside of a frontal boundary, a trace to an inch is much more reasonable.

Interesting you no start to wonder about the weather for your area, made a post to Derickeugeneree above explaining my concern for a winter storm over the southern US, and what do you know, the CMC, WRF, and GFS among other models are now showing this, lol.
Here’s what I said about this storm earlier before we really started to see models latching onto this winter storm idea, man I’m good, lol.
“I know, but for right now, I am not going to pay to much attention to precise winter storms due to the unusually high variability in this pattern, and with so much arctic air coming down near and after the 20th, the models and many of the forecasters seem to be having a tough time handling this changing pattern.

First of all, “2 more storms and 2 more misses for Philly” doesn’t make a lot of sense. Second, how old are you? you act like your 5 or 6. And last, don’t say “Are all the little kids in school????” because that is pretty offensive to me. I’m 12 and not a “little kid.” In fact, hate to break it to you, but you seem pretty dumb, implying that I’m smarter than you. So until you have proof that your not dumb, don’t call me a little kid. I can create a test for you if you want? Test your knowledge? See if you really aren’t dumb?

You continue to bug me, and you are disrespectful in the process. Honestly, who do you know that is 12, plays baseball and tennis, is a black belt in Tae Kwon Do, has straight A’s while managing a horizon math class 3 years ahead of my grade, maintains good works habits, is interested and educated in meteorology, is studying math and science in spare time including calculus,trigonometry, advanced algebra, and statistics, and cosmology, astronomy, particle physics, quantum physics, the string theory, k theory, m theory, and has plans to go to MIT for a ph. D in theoretical physics and maybe meteorology. In this process, I maintain and manage a website, and socialize with friends. REALLY!!!! WHO DO YOU KNOW WHO DOES THAT!??? On that note, winter is not over, and I’m happy to see what will be happening next for the east coast.
