unlike 12z yesterday. that southern stream just scoots east and does not energize and slow down for NS but instead drags the baroclinic zone east with it
ICON was classic benchmark. CMC coastal hugger, GFS just SE benchmark. You are right tho, all pretty similar. pretty good agreement at the development of a potent coastal storm this far out. Encouraging!
good thing is lakes are open for buisness for you guys still. lets hope something can trigger them to lightup. wish P burgh benefited from the lakes haha. very rare
Yes a surface high would be great. yeh verbatim surface temps are between 33-35 but with such a dynamic strong storm im sure thats isothermal snow for many even down to the coast that run!
I wouldn’t worry about the long range ICON. GEFS and EPS still look pretty good. We will see. Small window of opportunity for this to phase perfectly with indicies transiently favorable
radar filling in nice. mhm. no models had me getting any accum. snow. but all day it looked like many areas were colder than forecasted. hopefully it wont switch back to rain. NWS had champlain valley as all rain also with no snow indications.
it is absolutely ripping outside. heavy snow. biggest flakes i ever seen. so wet. sticking to everything. highlight of my day . might get a quick inch with some moisture leftover
why are we even looking at precip type verbatim atm? the signal is there for a significant storm. something we have not had to even track in a long time
you are 100% right . looking at 168 it looks like it is just about to become a cutoff but by 196 that NS dives in quickly and perfectly to phase with it. I doubt we will replicate this solution verbatim again next run
198 we have a 971mb south of long island. big bomb. could tell from the early stages. happy tracking !! EVERYONE except extreme COASTAL areas absolutely hammered this run. It was so amped. so dynamic. many cash in as temps will crash
