How do you know that the reason for the difference is due to synoptic/mesoscale features, rather than differences in large scale patterns over the NH? If it is the latter the GFS would handle that better, so I can't see why one necessarily applies over the other unless you can definitively determine the causation for the change.

And the RGEM & SREF are west, so that puts the NAM out as an outlier. Though LWX does like the eastward track it seems.

I'd agree the GFS is better with NH patterns and the broader scheme, but this has a huge involvement with some mesoscale features and some exact things involving the column, the 850 low/500 low tracks, where the freezing line is, a CCB etc.

Ok, but you can't assume that is the reason for the rapid deepening on the GFS and that it is wrong since there are many aspects I don't think. And have you ever thought about giving the outlier less weight? The NAM has had a bias of letting energy escape on the front flank of EC storm troughs leading to an east track.

Oh I'm certainly not favoring the NAM right now none for the matter, I wanna see the Euro though as that'll give us all a beat on things and likely correctly analyze these pieces of energy.

from a climo standpoint I like the GFS better than the NAM...plus it is a better model....doesn't mean it is right, but i would favor it over the NAM if I had to lean one way

for sure. euro/gfs blend probably still good tho the gfs looks about what you'd expect for an early season storm. i only look at the ukmet when people post it here.

Lotsa folks northeast of us gonna get a crash course on why its important to trim those trees that are situated close to the house.

Gut tells me I'll see a good hard rain - followed by a dusting of snow. Picturesque but no tree/structural house damage here.

You won't see ME askin' how much for Dale City. This system's a no-brainer

i like it.. it's close to cwg's thoughts that go up at 5 and DCA is in the few flakes slot!

I was watching the game. Is it going to be coming down so hard that it'll get that deep?

Heavy snow?

I guess I can wait until the post goes live...

There won't be a map till later in the morning but you're in the same zone as that map in the forecast for now.

Go over to my facebook page...we posted a map there for the Hagerstown area. This is a tough one...will probably bump totals up some more, but played conservative for now.

doesnt look bad either. i was actually wondering a bit about the western extent of the nbc map.. cwg doesnt forecast out that far west per se.

i'd have gladly sat out the real discussion on this one as it's pretty tricky.. much moreso than the relatively continuity in models say imo. too bad i edit thurs night and have to write a forecast fri night. on the plus side there's lots of other guidance from jason et al than just me and the models in these situations. ;)

I know the western edge is hard to pinpoint..I have to go on air early Sat. morning! Fun times though. thumbsupsmileyanim.gif

At least the UKIE appears to agree with it... seems like a lot rides on this EURO run

too bad the time change didnt happen already.. so close to the euro but i dont think i can make it.
