yoda Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Guess we are making our own cold air at 132 with the 0c line? http://raleighwx.americanwx.com/models/gfs/18zgfs850mbTSLPp06138.gif -- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 My goodness. GFS really went the way of the euro this run. Different landfall of course but what a nutty evolution. Interesting seeing the 0c 850 line off OBX in Oct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 I almost never post model images but this snip just seems worthy. Sub 950 with howling winds and rain. I'm still wrapping my head around the reality that this could be reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach McGuirk Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Wrap around snow? Have to check the lower level soundings when they come out but probably 40/rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Really almost shocking consensus between the 12z Euro, 18z GFS, 18z GEFS and some of the other models in the grabbag (e.g., NOGAPS, GFDL). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmichweather Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Interesting, seems the gfs enkf ensemble a bit further south but these runs are delayed so this is the 6z so I wonder what the 12z and 18z have to offer..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disc Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Lol, GFDL says Good-bye Virginia. Landfall near Williamsburg then moves inland. Hasn't this come south every time before the Euro or? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avdave Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 That would raise really big coastal flooding problems in the chesapeake bay ....maybe isabelle like. Yeah with the landfall south of the DC region, anyone along the bay, Havre De Grace, Md, Fells Point in Baltimore, Annapolis, places upstream on the Potomac would be be seeing some much devastating flooding from that scenario. good job on the radio show too Wes, enjoyed it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quasievil Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 That would raise really big coastal flooding problems in the chesapeake bay ....maybe isabelle like. I'm really hoping the south trend has stopped, as having this thing push a wall of water up the Chesapeake is really not a good idea. Amazing how stout the Euro has been so far with Sandy. I'm a Euro hugger this winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmichweather Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I wonder what sort of surge map would correlate to that type of landfall. I would think cat 2 or so, this storm is going to be huge and have such a long fetch and the angle it comes in via 18z gfdl is worst case scenario.

usedtobe Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Too bad the GFDL is usually wrong. That's the good news. I'd still lean towards farther n like the euro and am not sure which solution I'd prefer. I think we might see stronger winds with the euro track but really don't know. I'd love to give Rev Kev the storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattmfm Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Models fairly consistent (and in such an anomalous setup fairly right) in deepening this up until landfall. Incredibly rare for the EC north of NC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we might see stronger winds with the euro track but really don't know. I'd love to give Rev Kev the storm. It seems to bomb everything out. Not sure how it would work with a transitioning storm anyway as I think it's a tropical model? Even the GFS when it was far off with the center had a pretty hefty 850 wind max in that backside zone. If it's truly going to be historic I want in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sure seems like that is beginning to be the "consensus" that is building. I'm pretty prepared for this to rival or exceed Isabel in terms of wind here. I'm guessing that early next week the forum will be dead except for those with generators and internet still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because it's the Euro or is there something to the setup you like better? I'm just saying over the gfdl and the reason is pretty much what ian noted. I don't know how the model works with transitioning storms and don't know as it is a tropical model but also one based on physics so I'm not sure how much that matters. II'm used to dealing with the euro and gfs...no other reason except that most of the other operational models and ens runs are north of it and it's ens members.
