deltadog03 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 CMC did go north, but the UKIE going south tells me that the EURO will more than likely be the same or a smide SOUTH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaWx Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Landfall in the chesapeake bay at 96 hr on euro. And it's a pretty massive cane...... EDIT: 917mb!!!!!!!!!!! HOLY **** 917 mb? That's ridiculous. The Euro has a bad habit of overintensifying tropical cyclones in the mid latitudes. It has been too low by 20-30 mb many times over the last few years. I'd day no lower than ~940 mb, which is crazy enough lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1122 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Yep went into idiot mode....... do the snowfall maps look similiar to 12z? Not as wide spread and the amounts are lesser by a good bit. Still flakes flying with some accums in East TN, Western NC and heavy Apps snows in WVA/SW VA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burgertime Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 It looked to me like the Euro was just a tad north and it makes a difference for folks hoping to see some flakes in NC. Here is most expansive the snow map gets for NC from the 00z Euro run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think winds are going to be a factor no matter what for practically all of NC. 6z GFS came in south of 00z which had an odd look last night. 6z has the bullseye in northern NJ.

Brick Tamland Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 It looked to me like the Euro was just a tad north and it makes a difference for folks hoping to see some flakes in NC. Here is most expansive the snow map gets for NC from the 00z Euro run. Figures it would back off as the zero hour gets closer. The weird thing is the track from the NHC seems furter south than before, which I thought would give us more chance of snow here, not less.

NavarreDon Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I know nchighcountrywx posted GSPs HWO but here is part of the overnight AFD: .LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... AS OF 130 AM FRI...OBVIOUSLY THE BIGGEST FACTOR IN THE EXTENDED RANGE WILL BE LOCATION AND INTENSITY OF THE EXTRATROPICAL CYCLONE THAT RESULTS FROM THE MERGER OF T.C. SANDY AND A STRONG DIGGING NRN STREAM TROUGH. THE ECMWF AND GFS AGREE THAT THE SYSTEM WILL DEEPEN AND BEGIN TO TURN TO THE NW AND EVENTUALLY WEST MONDAY AND TUESDAY. THE 12 UTC ECWMF TURNS THE T.C. AHEAD OF THE FIRST SHORT WAVE DIGGING ACROSS MID-ATLANTIC STATES. THIS BRINGS A POWERFUL SFC LOW ACROSS THE CHESAPEAKE BAY LATE MONDAY. THE GFS DOESN/T PICK UP THE CYCLONE UNTIL A SECOND WAVE DIGS INTO THE TROUGH. THIS DELAYS LANDFALL BY ABOUT 24 HOURS...WITH THE LOW MOVING ACROSS LONG ISLAND BY TUESDAY EVENING. THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER TRACK IS SOMEWHERE BETWEEN THESE TWO SOLUTIONS...WHICH STILL LOOKS LIKE THE MORE REASONABLE COURSE TO TAKE. THE BOMBING SFC LOW WILL ALSO BE ACCOMPANIED BY AN INTENSE UPPER LOW. THE GFS H5 HEIGHTS FALL TO 520 DM OVER LONG ISLAND BY TUESDAY EVENING FOR EXAMPLE. QUITE A VARIETY OF WEATHER IS POSSIBLE WITH THIS SYSTEM ACROSS THE SRN APPALACHIANS EVEN THROUGH WE WILL BE ON THE /DRY/ SIDE OF THE CIRCULATION. INCREASING NW FLOW AND TEMPERATURES DROPPING BELOW FREEZING MAY CONTRIBUTE TO A PERIOD OF NW FLOW SNOW SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUE NIGHT. GRADIENT WINDS MAY SUPPORT HIGH WIND WARNING CRITERIA WINDS STARTING LATE MONDAY AND LASTING INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING. AN ADVECTIVE FREEZE IS A GOOD BET SUNDAY NIGHT AT HIGHER MTN ELEVATIONS AND ALONG THE TN LINE. MORE WIDESPREAD FREEZING TEMPS ARE POSSIBLE MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY NIGHT WITH A FREEZE POSSIBLE EVEN OUT INTO THE FOOTHILLS. FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS WILL ALSO BE ON THE INCREASE MONDAY AND TUESDAY AS GOOD MIXING AND DOWNSLOPE DRYING WILL CERTAINLY LEAD TO HEIGHTENED FIRE DANGER. IT/S TOO EARLY TO ISSUE ANY PRODUCTS FOR THESE VARIOUS EVENTS...AND CONFIDENCE ON THE TIMING STILL ISN/T GREAT AS CAN BE SEEN WITH THE GFS/ECMWF DIFFERENCES...BUT WE WILL CONTINUE TO ADDRESS ISSUES OF FIRE DANGER...SNOWFALL...STRONG WINDS AND FREEZING TEMPERATURES IN THE HWO.

The Perfect Storm in 1991 hit 972 mb, the Storm of the Centurty in 93 hit 960mb. I would think 955 would be just about the extreme limit it can hit on the low end and more lkey wont get much below 965mb but you never know anything is possible I suppose.

Lookout Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 WLOS is talking up the threat of snow. They say the latest models JUST changed tonight. Possible snow Sunday or early next week. I honestly wouldn't be surprised to see snow outside the mountains. With such a strong system, CAA will be fast and furious and if there is any appreciable precipitation across areas in that corridor of coldest air somewhere around the nc/va border to the north and/or south..snow very well could fall. Probably will be a narrow corridor but I think its possible..based on 850mb, 925mb, and surface temps...especially the euro..which shows temps in the 30s within north and south of the nc border..the 12z run was especially interesting/promising there. 0z run wasn't quite as promising, mainly due to less precip it would seem to me in these areas but still possible. Track and how much precip there is, is really important. If the track is too far north, obviously precip will be less and If the precip is light..not sure it can overcome the low level temps and probably just a cold rain. However, if it is further south and if it's one of these cases where there is a band that sets up or just general moderate precip in that corridor of coldest air, I think there is a chance for sure. Likely wont' last for very long and accumulations won't be much. At the least it will be a cold rain for sure....but just to have a chance of any snow this year, with a hurricane/post hurricane system is really amazing. Strange to be talking about a hurricane and snow at the same time. Just wish it was here lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeyefan1 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 It seems the transition has begun this morning and Sandy has slowed down. I wonder if this will bring Sandy in further south? Model runs today should be interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevDodd Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Essentially the storm's slowing increases the chances for a more southern capture, correct? Or is the slowdown reflecting a lessened interation with the ocean low already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downeastnc Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Essentially the storm's slowing increases the chances for a more southern capture, correct? Or is the slowdown reflecting a lessened interation with the ocean low already? Look at the NHC track the slowdown is/was expected and then as the SW winds pick up with the approaching trough it speeds up which is noticable in the forecast track as it approaches Hatteras and is clearly accelerating. I do however think a recurve further south is possible maybe even come in as far south as Hatteras up to Va beach moving up over Va into SW PA like some models had earlier on. Still the Delmar still looks good for landfall and I use that term loosely.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKY_WX Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Essentially the storm's slowing increases the chances for a more southern capture, correct? Or is the slowdown reflecting a lessened interation with the ocean low already? The models have forecasted the slow down pretty well. It's currently being left behind by the trough departing over the northern Atlantic and now the blocking is building in. It will drift towards Florida before being picked up by the frontal system tonight. That's when it get's interesting as the phasing really then begins in earnest. One thing to note, is storms like this (superstorm/perfect storm) tend to strengthen rapidly at times. That means a bend left could do the same. The WSW bend on the EURO/GFDL is something to watch very closely b/c that's probably almost impossible to model with great accuracy in such a rare situation as this. Just when it bends west to wsw and how long this happens will probably be determined on just how rapidly it strengthens. The more rapid, the further south solution. The later, the further out it stays over the ocean before coming inland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
