500mb low is more consolidated and further west....but the surface low is further southeast...no. It did this **** for the past storm on the 21st storm too...the surface seems to take time to catch up to the mid-levels...

Yeah it seems really disconnected. The euro has a nice consolidated low very near the NAM's depiction, but look at the 600 mile elongated low..lol. C'mon, 500 pattern is similar too.

I hate seeing these consistently, I hope the GFS will at least hold serve from 00z. I think it will imo.

Scott what I respect the most about you is your outright honesty even if it flies in the face of weenieism. Maybe I didn't pay attention in the past, but this year you seem to really lay it out there in all directions, all options and if something tosses a red flag in your mind even if it's small you throw it out there. I appreciate that, I know everyone else does too. It's pretty rare, and I have a ton of respect for you for doing it.

I dunno Scott...I think this is so preposterous we have to at least notice it. It brings the qpf in a way the model itself hasn't figured out. Crazy!

Eh, not that worried about it either way my friend. If you look at the high res twister maps, it's got the micro low coming onshore of west florida...yeah I know it's a convective complex....it kind of plays with that and I think they really disrupt it's surface low presentation. BUT, I don't think there's any doubt the mid/high level moisture will initially miss us SE as Bouchard said. Then we have to wait for the low to wrap up. This may be where the NAM is falling down, not developing that low enough, but again, two stage storm on these models and the first stage whiffs.

If you follow the NAM through there's three things going on:

1st: The feature that is now on the coast driving all the convection comes up and misses WIDE right. GFS/NAM/RGEM/GGEM et all...show this IMO to varying degrees...some are a glancing blow that's harder than others. I think this is maybe a lock, will be a lock post rest of suite (ie, that for the most part the meat and potatoes of the first pulse doesnt clobber us...not saying it won't be something).

2nd. The feature in the eastern GOM, rides NNE into the SE US. THIS starts to develop as it continues to move NE, the moisture expands as it comes across NC. Spin it through at 700, this feature ends up being rolled into the developing comma head.

3rd. M/L main moves across draws in #2, this is the entirety of the NAM solution, 3 moving parts.

No comment on accuracy, if it's falling down it's with part 2.

Whole lotta low level moisture down on the South Coast tonight. Westerly and Newport are both reporting freezing fog with temps of 16 and 19. But I gotta wonder who's manning these reporting stations....because both are reporting visibilities of a quarter mile and it's not that low where I'm at

Yeah it went poof here when temps dropped below about 22/23 but it was slick as all heck on the roads. I'm not sure I've ever had freezing fog here...

Here's the message spaced...TBW is Tampa Bay. May well play into part 2 above...too weak with that 2nd stage maybe because it didn't get the right idea on what's going on in the eastern GOM? Makes sense to me. When you talk about bad luck...12 hours ago the El Paso ob would have been right near/under key s/w features...now this...right under the complex/features in the Florida area....doh!
