snow. Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 What's with the good runs at night....bad during the day Maybe the euro will lock in and not waver for the next 7 days...giving us 10-16" every run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snow. Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 euro day 9 is just an absolute moisture laden beast....of course there are some changeover possibilities, but like 1.7" QPF...and much of it snow....verbatim it is a 16-20" storm for JYO/MRB....

Haven't seen this in a long time. It is a monster KU for the western burbs..and quite big for DC too before we mix.....and the storm has been showing up over and over...it is still in the fantasy range, but the euro seems locked in on something big....

Inudaw Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I like the looks of the very end of the run because it originates in the gulf. It's been a long time since one has come out of the gulf. One reason it has so much moisture shown... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snow. Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 It's an ok overrunning pattern, but not really a good one for a big storm without changing over, even with a southern track....but we've been pretty good this year with so-so patterns...the euro solution is total thread the needle, and DC still mixes...

Huffwx Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Just woke up for the Euro WOW. Wednesday is a big deal down here with some pretty cold mid levels, would be sleet to ice, with 1-2 of sleet first as shown on both Euro and GFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One reason it has so much moisture shown... its funny JB thinks we go thru all of feb before spring, cosgrove thinks we warm up by middle of feb and euro gives us a good old fashion pounding next week, I have a hard time believing the euro for next week, something aint right , one of the two models is in la la land.

North Balti Zen Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 6z GFS has the ice/front end/rain storm next week and also the unicorn storm on the following weekend. If pattern holds, 12z GFS won't have either in a way that helps us later today. Liking the constancy of the Euro in the long range for the unicorn storm.

Heisy Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 DT's storm could be the blockbuster of the winter. It is on all the models, its so far out, but if we could cash in with an ice storm wednesday and a huge snowstorm few days later, winter would be set for me.

Scraff Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Good morning all. Need more coffee to help open my eyes to the EURO Unicorn. Wow I think? Doors one and two icy though right? Can we get any front end love on those--or should I punt those all together? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doors one and two icy though right? Can we get any front end love on those--or should I punt those all together? Looked a little closer at the Monday event on the Euro. Looks kinda nice to me. 850s start a little above 0 and get colder as the heavier precip gets to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supposed to hit NYC Wednesday to Thursday as well. Should be wild. As long as I don't miss that ever elusive unicorn... ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wunderground maps say 2-3" for Sunday night/Monday morning which is interesting since that's what they said I'd get early last week when I got almost 6" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtstack Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 GFS and Euro locked in on the unicorn at range. I guess that should provide slim hope that it may materialize as progged. Some HECS events that come to mind where DCA mixed were 1996 and 2003. I don't mind some pellets locally if we can score a MECS or HECS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Seems to me that most of the GEFS have shifted the track of the mid-week storm to the south. The 6z Op is one of, if not the, most wrapped up and far west cutter of the bunch. Most of the members still turn us to rain verbatim, but I find the southern track shift (right over us in most cases) a bit encouraging. GEFS still don't go in much for the Monday event though…a few members have some snow for us. Most are dry. Lots of moving pieces the next 10 days with this very active pattern.

Saw the shift for wed myself. It's a model war for Monday but the next 2 are definitely being honed in on by the globals. Euro and EPS like monday. Wed should be a blast for an interesting event. Front end frozen seems relatively resolved. It's pretty fun nowcasting multiple features and who is getting what and when. Warm layer changeovers sandwiches like the euro shows for the unicorn are pretty common in the cities with big storms on that track. Would make a heck of fun mess and a bullet proof snowpack to withstand nuclear Feb sun angle. A weaker storm than the euro would prob track a bit east and be all snow. I better get a lot of rest this weekend. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superstorm Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Why are we calling it the unicorn storm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast NPZ Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Why are we calling it the unicorn storm? Probably because in the end, it's just a fantasy. Or... because it has a sharp appendage that is just as likely to be shoved up our ***. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
