There is no such thing as a consistent top performer.
Most would consider the ECMWF and GFS as leading the pack, but neither one is a consistent winner.
MERRY CHRISTMAS to everyone............... I'm happy because I received .21" rain early this morning. Was supposed to be less than .10"
Gotta run to celebrate with friends and family the rest of the day........ A whole lotta calories.
That"s fine! You're good!
For those who may seriously be disgruntled because of the 12z run of the GFS, take heart.
Yes, hp was weaker and qp less, but this is 4 days away. As long as it holds on to the general idea, we have a long ways to go.
The Euro is currently caving to the KING GFS for Augusta............................... 00z Euro had Augusta County at 62 for Christmas afternoon. The 06z Euro drops that 62 to 56.......
Sterling NWS forecasters are at a loss. Later today, Sterling Thur thru Saturday likely to change significantly....
13.2 at 7 am.
I am in the Bahamas for Dec. 18 - 30................................ This tropical touch is heavenly............. Why couldn't we have 70 in D.C. for December 25?
AI says that D.C. received 5 - 7 inches of snow from that storm.
