I would be surprised if the euro doesn't at least back off a little from the textbook vort, timing, trof amplitude, phase, transfer, location, and capture this run. 12z was perfection that won't be repeated. Just bracing y'all for it.
I'm not sure the GFS is off base tbh. It has barely wavered. And the sloppy phase and late transfer with stronger primary trend is a strong possibility still.
Yep, by the time the WAA stuff gets here the block and confluence and associated arctic hp are pulling N. So we get little WAA then the coastal is too late to develop. CMC is about to cash the check on this one.
Remember what Newman and I have been saying for days. This is typical Niña storm at play here. Keeps ticking N and eventually is a New England bomb. This is trending no different. The stall look now has moved from off VA Beach to off OC, MD, to off AC, and now the best stuff is trending to happen closer to the benchmark for New England.
0 for 2...GFS is brief thump to rain then dryslot SE PA. SECS. GFS has been consistent asf. I will take any snow,but the euro is clearly alone on an island right now with the MECS/HECS thing.
It's a sloppy phase and slow transfer like the GFS, CMC, and UKMET. Its not an impossible solution considering it has some support. You do realize the euro is essentially alone and the extreme solution attm right? And most other guidance is signaling a SECS/MECS but a messy way of going around it. We don't do messy or complicated well.
I would be very surprised if the euro held as-is for the next 4 days. That is probably the extreme solution. Doubt it folds completely either obviously but cmon, be realistic. We aren't going to see that consistent textbook prog for 4 straight days.
Don't get me wrong....I would take a 4-6" event and be thrilled. Just wondering why qpf didn't match up. Then again, that is usually one of the last things to get fine tuned, so I should know better and answered my own question.
I mean, a foot is no joke but the way h5 played out would have assumed higher amts more widespread. I wonder what made 96 and 2016 such big events? Even this one looks to stall and has an excellent moisture feed
Not saying they won't get crushed but after the last 5 debacles they were bullseyed and popping champagne corks 2 days ago. Wayyy too early. Still too early to be end zone dancing for DC to Philly tbh.
