I think that’s a half truth. From what I understand they use 6hr data from the previous run, and add some new data. I might be explaining this wrong but I had a convo with a met on phillywx. Regardless off runs are still updated and worth taking serious
Amazing post! I’ve been looking at the fronto on the mesos. While out of range it highlights the potential. If this shortwave can neg tilt and the trough axis aligns perfectly this will be a classic heavy wet snow event for someone. Could be a lot of 30-35dbz type in the radar inside the max axis of the precip. Hope the trends continue because I love fat white out flakes regardless of how quick it moves
18z Gfs might have a big overrunning event this run. We’re going to see different placement each run of the TPV near the conus border. Where it sets up & how much breaks off on the day 6 wave will dictate what happens toward day 8-11
Forgot that! Also obv the elevated areas of va and nc could do really well too, but near the metro region I’d prefer to be in DE right now, thought I’d never say that.
I really like southern half of Delaware as a jackpot location for this one so far. They get perfect balance of temps being just cold enough and the heaviest precip training over them.
This is the typical event the NAM will juice up, flat waves with coastal fronto. Expect some crazy runs like this. Need the cmc/rgem family to jump on but I’m starting to feel pretty good about a 2-4 3-5 type event
I just use weathertap for larger regions and RadarScope for the zoomed in. This was the first time I used RadarScope during a storm and it was amazing. It circles your exact location. Only a $10 one time fee not bad
good icon run let’s hope gfs continues!
This storm blowing up helps the pattern down the line. Turns into a 50/50 type feature locks in an okay HP in a good spot. Day 6 euro buries SNE because of help from this event.
Woops yeah Sunday. getting that precip to start before daytime warming would be important. This is more like a swf event. Surface is marginal but upper air is fine so if we find the right balance of precip/strength and timing will work out. You’d actually see more white rain if we got fringed. The heavier precip would help cool the BL
Agree with everything you said except day time. This falls after 1am monday into the morning hours up to like noon. Starting before dawn will help keep the BL cool.
