I take full responsibility. I saw once the thread was started in the Mid Atl forum it began to unravel for them. I should have known better. The second I started one for us things began to unravel here. Not sure if they started one in the other PA forum.
Shades of March 2017. Slept for a few hours and had a wicked dream that I was physically encased in a tomb of sleet and ice. Woke up in a cold sweat....stepped out of bed and slipped on what felt like ice on my bedroom floor. Dog pissed. Jumped in shower, turned water on and ice sprayed out of the shower head. Woke up and realized I was having a dream inside of a dream. Weird stuff. Now I'm not sure if this is real or a dream.
It's funny to see this trend to Boston now and the dryslot/mixing continue to punch farther N and W down here. Instead of moving due E the track keeps adjusting to crawl NE along the coast then bomb New England. Should we be surprised down here in SE PA?
Yep. The 3k is sending up smoke signals.
Eta: 6z and 18z runs over last 36 hrs have been west with slp only to adjust E at 0z or 12z. Something to keep in mind as we see hp and cad stronger each run but the slp track adjusts.
Really? Ova?
Not debating far N and W areas jackpotting. Discussing implications for marginal mixing areas around i95.
Want to caution you in using the Euro for short range wrt micro situational forecasting such as CAD and banding. Defer to higher resolution mesos as lead times shrink. Entering 3k territory now.
As I watch 6z roll in, it should be noted the NAM has trended 2-3mb stronger with the HP in SE Canada over the past 5 model runs and continues to show better CAD and ll cold in the area. Mixing still an issue along i95 but trend should be watched for future changes irt mix line advancement.
12z NAM stopped the trend and came in colder....so thats refreshing for anyone who put stock in the NAM at range last day or so.
Eta: upon farther inspection actually took a sizeable move to the rgem wrt track and intensity
What concerns me is the sw energy continues to be sampled stronger which yields a more amped system. I think this trend is real irt the sw strength. We see this alot when energy comes onshore out West. Our saving grace/hope for i95 is going to be the 50/50, confluence, and hp ... whether those can hold and help counter the strengthening slp. RGEM says we can do it. EPS says nope im gonna dislodge the blocking and 50/50. Fun times.
So the RGEM, GFS, and GEFS tick SE but the NAM, Euro and EPS are ticking NW. Talk about a split. My money is 55/45 in favor of the latter group with the end result being near the middle with a lean to the Euro.
On one hand the 6z NAM comes in and wants to bullseye Western PA.....then the RGEM comes out moments later and I damn near pass out seeing 2-3' across SE PA. Epic model war. One of these mesos is about to fail miserably. Truth probably lies in between?
