NAM had positive changes with our vort & confluence starting at hour 48. If this means anything for 0z runs, we're set. Confluence def lifted by 48 w/ trough buckling more -> more interaction by the period of interest
I honestly think we want the TPV lobe to hold back a little earlier instead of pushing east. The further west it is, the more interaction it'll have with the southern piece and capture it properly, just like we saw with the Euro solutions last night
i mean it did, that's what caused it to be better further south and worse further north. good for us now, but we wouldn't want this to become a trend. idt it will tho so we'll see
euro made two negative shifts this run looking at it. by hour 84, there's less interaction between the two waves. additionally, the kicker is more destructive, stringing it out but stringing it out too late for it to affect us.
qpf max went up, i like this run more than 6z. just went south due to noise with the confluence which doesn't get sampled till tomorrow anyways. i like this change
so excited to get a daytime snowstorm tomorrow. my sleep schedule has gotten so cooked by the late-night storms that peak at like 4 am. nice to see a snowstorm peaking at like 4 pm
what are people's thoughts on ratios being overdone with kuchera for this event? soundings don't look impressive, with ripping winds and subpar lift in the DGZ just like on monday for the frontend thump
snowflakes look so much healthier now than they were in the first round. really seeing the impacts of better snow growth, accumulating nicely and efficiently
i think that initial thump that exceeded expectations really set us up well. now FGEN is coming in and much of the area is eyeing down 1.25-2"/hr rates. sleet line coming north should also give us some heavy snow with better flake size i imagine
holy shit. look at the precip nw of the vort max, way overperforming compared to short res models. the dmv is in for a rude awakening tonight when everyone's gonna think the storm is over and then it comes back. getting jan 2019 vibes with this look tbh
