We like this run. But I personally want to see 2”/hr rates, not get 5” of snow from 1/2”/he steady snow, we’ve gotten that already. I want the thumpiest of thumps. We’ve kept seeing these in models 48-72h out then watched rates/dynamics lessen.
The euro is a beat down west of 95. Colder column for most, just a tad slower. Good evolution out in front. Euro tends to be the slightest bit slower in these scenarios, but we’re still bleeding in the RIGHT direction with regards to our column.
Lol agreed, I would only use I 70/US 340/US 40, MD 26, US 50 for E/W identifiers.
Maybe some others like I 95, MD 140 for diagonal regionals.
Then N/S you can use plenty more (I 83, MD 2, US 15, etc.)
I’ll make a PSA since there are some that root for icing events. Check out video footage of Texas, and tell me you are rooting for ice.
Just probably lost a dozen lives and dozens more seriously injured. This is a weather forum, but it’s just food for thought. And they didn’t even really get much accretion.
You know people usually only remeber the negative busts. But there have been a decent amount of + busts (I'd say 40/60 ratio of boom/bust). When you add in boom/as forecasted/bust its probably 20/50/30 as a split.
I’m not disagreeing 100%, but part of your logic is off. A weaker wave that causes lighter Precip would also be accompanied by less SW flow. Temps almost across the board look upper 20’s at most. Decent rates at all and it accumulates most places.
edit to also say what Chris said about the subsidence is partially true as well. More uniform areas of Precip are to be expected, even if the overall scheme isn’t terribly heavy.
I said few, small portions of the sub like parts of nova and smd, but also reductions in QPF and totals across the board from last run.
It’ll do for a hold if you want the NAM to be off.
