Election week coastal storm threat


Midlo Snow Maker

Recommended Posts

Didn't the EURO have Sandy a week before landfall coming north up the coast and then made its left into the mid-atlantic but a couple of days before landfall showed an easterly jog (mimicking the GFS) before making the hard left? And then did it not eventually settle on the actual track it had shown a week earlier or close to it?

it did come in further South than it's final solution but not by much...I've often thought that many times a final track shows itself on an earlier run than one closer to the day...but that's just anecdotal

Despite people hailing it as the lord of all models it's really not all the time...Every model has biases and failures.

It hasn't actually failed yet, but yeah, right now it's looking like a solid butt whipping is a possibility.

I guess everything needed to be west about 150 miles? All of the features, even whats going on right now?

Model performance posts annoy the crap out of me and ones before the event even happens are nails on a chalkboard. Any enthusiast that has followed models should know that they are all good and bad. Each setup poses it's own unique set of calculations. Euro does quite well when there is a big block. The block is modest at best right now and that one piece of information alone should be a clear indication that this storm is tough as heck to "nail". I don't care how good a model is. GFS seems to have done well with this one so far. We'll revisit this topic on Thursday.

What storm kmlwx?

You are acting like the storm happened already...which is really not bright at this stage. Sure it looks like it will be a miss for us - but as many have already said...it is not smart to declare a model winner. The GFS did not "school" the Euro as of this writing.
