Hey Kev, can you help me make sense of this? Taunton's update still says ECM supports a middle of the road solution between GFS and NAM, but didn't you say ECM was further north than all of them?

.SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...MODEL SOLNS FOR A FAST MOVING UPPER LVL TROF MOVING INTO THEBASE OF A POLAR VORTEX DIGGING S FROM THE CANADIAN MARITIMES HAVEBEGUN TO DIVERGE JUST SLIGHTLY FROM PREVIOUS FORECAST. WHILE NAMWAS MUCH FURTHER S WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE ASSOCIATED SFC LOW ITHAS SUGGESTED A SLIGHTLY MORE N TRACK OF LATE. GFS IS STILL THENRN OUTLIER...BUT IS GENERALLY NOT SUPPORTED BY ITS OWN UPPER LVLPATTERN. THE MODELS DO GENERALLY AGREE THAT AS THE POLAR VORTEXDIGS FURTHER S CONFLUENT FLOW THANKS TO WELL DEFINED NEARLY ZONALJET SETS UP OVER THE REGION. THIS SUGGESTS THAT GFS MAY BE A BITTOO FAR N AS IT WANTS TO PASS THE H7 CUTOFF ASSOCIATED WITH THEFEATURE RIGHT THROUGH THE INTERIOR OF THE JET ALOFT WHERECONFLUENCE IS BEST. THE ECMWF AND ECENS MEAN GENERALLY SPLIT THEDIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE S NAM AND THE N GFS AND HAS SUPPORT FROM09Z SREF AND HPC. GIVEN THIS...AND THE FACT THAT PREVIOUS FCSTSPREFERRED THE ECMWF SOLN...TRENDED FORECASTS TOWARD THECOMBINATION OF SREF AND ECMWF. THE MORE PERIOD SPECIFIC DISCUSSIONTO FOLLOW IS BASED GENERALLY ON THIS SOLN.

Exactly my point.. Howdy Doody says he's going by HPC with light amounts..when they're not doing that at all..No sense

Man its still riding that mid-level low right along the NY/PA border...its been so stubborn. Its not as far north as the extreme 12z run, but its still well north of other guidance.

Yeah...but it's probably caving. Other thing is...not a true QPF bomb but weirdness with that qpf max out to the SE. Either that's the culprit in the model camps...well I guess it is the culprit but one side is wrong/one is right. It may be a real moisture robbing feature like on the NAM or not.

Whaaaaa - over this pos system? if you say so...

woooosh!

I honestly think they hold off on watches/warnings/advisories just to annoy you ;)

They must know how much it bugs you not to have you're county colored before an impending winter storm, haha. It really doesn't matter though, weather is going to do what it wants to do. Go with Ryan's advisory level snows... that sounds like a good middle of the road solution.

This is a pretty sweet run for almost all of SNE...too bad we can't lock it in now. I think the final solution will be closer to something like the RGEM though...a little bit south of what we see here.

I could see the RGEM even the GFS ensembles were nice...something like that would be my guess for now. I think some of the developing convection and MCS will possibly play some games in the models and maybe cause the placement of low pressure to wobble..especially on the NAM. But check this out. No drying in the DGZ here.

This storm may err on the side of more potency than guidance in any event... Pretty wild christmas tree of warnings flying from N NJ all the way to eastern MT with this sucker. Includeing blizzard and ice -

Haha... what is it? A piece of sh*t or a potent winter storm?
