Election week coastal storm threat

For instance, that s/w that initiates cyclogenesis...if that decides to become very convective, it may act to keep a tighter area of precip and not spread it so far west.

I mean, the convective element has to be the reason the models are so far off with this. When/where you get the DMC feedback on the upper low will depend when/where the def band sets up

RGEM/EURO/JMA so solid hits for you. We shall see.

EURO missed everything west and SOUTH of LYH--He's in Roanoke.

Office- Roanoke, House- LYnchburg= Huff

We'd need it to wind up fast taking negative tilt SOUTH of HAT almost to reach back to the ROA and NRV Valleys.

Yeah for sure. This thing will be a diabatic heat machine, and that will cause some issues. And to add to that, the second impulse diving SE into VA and NC will try to join forces and also play around with the mid level wind fields.

We both do have a shot, and next time, keep the IMBY questions in the banter thread

You are not an admin here. Don't start this again this year. Please.

Back on topic, is this a situation similar to Sandy where our precip moves in an east west fashion as the storm strengthens/moves up the coast or even slightly westward?

This should be a pretty classic look. Solid shield moving from GA-NC-VA and hopefully starting a nice spin over dc metro. Quite different than sandy. Much more "normal".

Edit: assuming that it gets it's act together in some reasonable fashion like the euro shows. Looking at the vort on water vapor right now definitely looks like it's going to juice up as it rounds the bottom but gfs could be more right. I just hope it isn't.

Depends where storm is-- some places would come from south, but as the low depends and takes a more negative tilt it doesn backbuild to the NW and even form over head. The ECMWF precip map showed this nicely.

All except temps which is what everyone is pinning hope on

Absolutely. I was specifically posting about the precip shield. If this was happening in Mid Oct is would be a classic fall rainstorm. Heck, even in Nov 99% of the time it's a rainstorm setup. The gods are at least grinning on us right now. Just hope it isn't a sadistic grin.

Another thing about the 12z gfs is that it is coming around to a slower moving system. Euro was interesting. In 48 hours it moved from off the GA coast and was still south of LI.

If that happens then i wonder what would more likely happen, better chance of snow due to wrapping in of colder air or does the storm yank in too much warm marine air at the mid levels to keep it rain?
