Yeah interesting to see models try to tickle something up again for the 6 th. I had a feeing yesterday that would happen. Still a ways to go but if we apply some meteorology to the models it makes sense there could be a 2-4 inch type event

 

Can't fully distinguish models from meteorology since the programming is entirely based on meteorology formulas and concepts.  This met vs. mod stuff is borne out of the 1970s and 1980s era when models were primative and mets had to use their experience and instinct to correct for obvious model errors.  Now mets aren't even sure when models are in error.  Case in point, a big snowstorm maybe last year or the year before when NCEP specifically said to disregard a particular model run because of significant model errors when that run showed a huge snowstorm up and down the coast.  Of course that supposedly tainted run turned out to herald in a huge model shift.

 

If you think you could apply some "meteorology" to the models, why couldn't NCEP programmers tweak the programming so that you wouldn't have to make that adjustment?

One more Euro run and we can plan on 1-2 inches I think

 

We're not there yet.  This is not a high QPF scenario so we're probably looking at a coating to an isolated inch.  With a SLP to our NW we cannot even count on much fluff factor.  Some places will probably record a trace or nothing.  This looks a little better for the Lakes and orographic locations.  h5 evolution is not very good as modeled right now.  And we haven't even had a "weenie" run to suggest anything better.

In Kevn's world, the weenie run always exists.
