January 25-26 Storm Potential

Yeah ensembles look a lot like the CMC... probably toss the Op ECM and the Op GFS as outliers on either end of the spectrum.

 

CMC has a SWFE appeal with WAA push of snow followed by dryslot.  No real CCB to speak of, but a nice moderate 4-8 incher.

Euro ensembles (51 members) had a bomb near the bm per Scott N.

Whom are you guys referring to?

 

No one here (and not ORH or my posts) is calling for a Jan 2005... but the evolution is similar as depicted in last night's Euro. Show me the post that is "going with the snowiest, most extreme model".

 

Not referring to that...its more Blizz's when will people learn to toss the least exciting model, lol.  The GFS is the eastern outlier, but the ECM is also the more amped up outlier with a close to full phase.  A couple days ago it was still the amped outlier, but much further northwest from where it is now (giving snow to N.NY across NNE).  That's all.  A more smoothed mean of the ensembles seems to be the way to go.

Also remember the euro tends to overamplify too.

 

Yeah the OP does that quite a bit.  A few days ago it was still the most amped model of all of them (the runs that were changing SNE over, with good snows back to Syracuse, NY).  The whole evolution has shifted eastward a lot, and the ECM remains the most amped.  But if the ensembles are right with it, then it's probably onto something.

Not that I'm comparing but comparisons to 1/22/05 have been made by some. For that event, the euro locked it in from d5-6 and the gfs whiffed us until a 36 hour lead time when the models came into line. So we may have to wait another day or 2 before we have gfs/ecmwf on board together.

No run had substantial parts of sne changing. None.

lol... I realized I had a backwards interpretation of your posts...

 

it was a busy night tracking Winter Storm Jove

Like the Jan 05 comparisons. Not saying the outcome will be that anomalous or anywhere close, but similar setup and evolution as I posted 3 nights ago.

 

Euro had similar solution 3 nights ago (1/19/13 0z).

 

Reappearance of this robust solution after 3 days (and after last night's nor-turd has passed) adds some confidence I think.

 

Chrisrotary posted yesterday that the Jan 2005 analog had jumped up to #2 on the CIPS list.

Awesome...

Yeah I have that Jan 2005 blizzard archived like no other storm. 

I looked at the old H5 maps 3 nights ago after that 0z Euro run 1/19 and that monster 0z GFS run 1/19, definite resemblance as I posted. Obviously not expecting it to be anywhere close, but it lends confidence we'll get something decent.

Any idea what it has up here for QPF?  Do I need more of a NW tick in order to get in on the good stuff?

 

I would not even look at that right now.  If this system comes even remotely close to a Euro solution you will do just fine.  Just monitor the evolution of the s/w's coming out of Canada and how they interact,  Euro actually phases them giving us a SE MA blizzard.  GFS keeps them separate, hence the "suppressed" solution.

You should not even concern yourself this far out about qpf, Lets get the storm here 1st, We can work out the other details when we get closer in
