So what you’re saying is that the same shit keeps happening in the end regardless of what comes before it? Seems annoying.
I wonder where I’ve heard that before…
I appreciate how adamant you are about this, and I REALLY hope your take turns out correct, but I think the writing is on the wall with this one. All the models are picking up on the jog of the surface low to the NW, and it's happening regardless of what happens earlier in the runs.
Just looked at the CMC. I like the 24+ hours of snowfall that drops a little less than 0.6" of QPF with temps 28-29F and a column that's cold throughout.
JV models will trend to the GFS, which will start the inevitable climb NW by 12z this Sunday. JV models will lag behind the GFS until 0z Tuesday, when they'll generally converge.
Now...whether that means anything for our backyards, I have no idea, but it's played out more than once in the last few weeks and I see no reason to feel any differently.
That GFS map is just the forecast radar reflectivity and placement of the surface low at that time/
Do the WB maps show the location of the surface low at that hour, while showing the average of the prior 6 hours of QPF?
Can't quite reconcile the difference between the two maps.
Edit: The 6-hour average map on TT looks much the same as the WB one you posted.
I know PSU has mentioned this, but I would love to hear some other folks' takes on things, as well. If I knew anything, I'd chime in, but I don't so I won't.
Besides, I'm sure most folks here can listen to a Philly accent for only so long...
Along with a lot of what has been said, I'm looking at the confluence and the heights around the Great Lakes. Lower heights and more confluence is a good thing to help keep this thing a little more east, but I can't get rid of this nagging feeling that all guidance will pull this thing over or west of DC regardless of the look leading in.
Of course it does.
I blame my Dad, who texted me just after the suite that smashed DC, to mention how we might get another fresh, deep snowpack on Sunday-Monday. It’s all gone downhill from there.
