D6 event....blizzard, flizzard, rain, or partly cloudy?

Just catching up...

So what is the consensus? Looks to me like the GFS is the only model left that isn't shooting most of that potent H5 energy from SW Canada into the Yukon and instead chooses to keep in bowling eastward through the southern prairie provinces. My hope for this system up here is waning as it seems every run requiring a lobe of the PV for phasing is a too little too late deal up here. I suppose the Ukie looks interesting, but it always seems to past 72hr.

A glancing blow, mostly for coastal areas, seems to be the middle of the road right now.

On the bright side, the 18z NAM will not be the most important run of your life.

Well the photo says it was added on July 12th so I guess we can discount July 21st lol.

oh yeah... good call lol

I do remember that this wasn't a huge severe outbreak that was anticipated. Storms formed late in the afternoon over SE NH and eastern MA. That shot was looking east

Yes I posted yesterday's 12z run. I fixed that. I am not using that as my guide I just posted today's 12z run that shows QPF over SE MA at 144h. Last nights 00z run was like 1000 miles offshore and to have today's 12z run come like 900 miles west is a flag imo.

edit: Jerry, it also looks better than yesterdays 12z run. It's deeper and has more of a hook in it. Can't say it's correct, but it looks even west of yesterday's 12z run.

A flag that it's less out to sea. :)

15.4/5

That's a really impressive zonally oriented trough extending all the way across North America on the 12z GFS

Please refrain from the inevitable inappropriate comments :lol:

That is a pretty decent flow...pretty strong ML/UL flow with TONS of s/w's being embedded into the flow...hopefully at least ONE of them can do the trick for us. That's a pretty decent looking pattern.

Thanks! :thumbsup: I took that pic this past summer. Here's the full image

hahaha by the way, I'm away from my laptop with the original shot (higher res), so I grabbed this from the album I made on facebook, and I saw my response to one of the comments:

"I really want to sit out in a field for an afternoon and get a time lapse of cumulus growth. These would have been great for that, but I was walking as I took the pictures."

I purchased a Sony HD video camera for the purpose of cloud videography last summer, and as a reward i got to fild a supercell cutting S through ORH Co, repleat with wall cloud and tornado warning. the film shows lots of tremendous CG. i filmed it from prospect hill rd, elevation 500f and looking west across the valley toward Wachusett. i haven't crop it out yet, and am still trying to find the software to speed up the film and so forth.

What's good about these potential storms this year is that they disappear so soon that none of get emotionally invested in them! Its the ones that trend out to sea 48 hours out which suck. Countless hours wasted on models for nothing.. etc..if its gonna go out to sea show it now please.

You have to post that when possible!

Very cool!! Definitely post that when you have it all figured out!

Probably couldn't have asked for a better storm or position!

This was one of my weenie/pathetic videos of that. No good reason for it...

That piece of energy makes all the world of difference.

edit 1 It's that piece of energy that captures the low on the GFS and stalls it out.

edit 2 Also look where the Euro takes it? Due north!:lol:

That's not the energy that captures the low, but does make a huge difference. I think of it as the pivot point about which the s/w tends to break. With the euro, the "pivot point" is the vortex that hangs around to our north, thus sending the s/w further east before tilting negative. The GFS on the other hand brings into the picture this bowling ball of energy into northern MN, which takes control as the pivot point, causing our wave to break further west.

euro ens. similar to euro op. uh oh

It looks a bit more impressive than the OP with the sfc config...less strung out. Overall its probably a good sign...usually the Euro ensemble mean is a bit SE of the OP run, so having it look like it right now is ok.
