You look for trends not qpf. The NW shift many of us expected just began at 12z. Sit back and enjoy the next 24 hours of NW moves

I'll have to see if I can put an animated GIF together of the GFS trend. It's pretty interesting. Does anyone know if animated GIFS are working again?

I don't know if they're working yet.

 

The difference between the 6z and 12z GEFS at 84 hours 24 hour QPF was minimal in terms of penetration inland.  The .1" line didn't move much at all, the .25 bumped NW as did the .5" but it seems to be honing in on a solution where I'm close to or in the screw zone based on .1" being eaten up and wasted.  Yes I know the models account for dry air, but they still seem to all over shoot in these situations on the NW fringe.

Not sure what sfc temps have to do with ratios in this situation.

 

Same as that last aborted event... everyone talking about cold sfc temps leading to good ratios.  One of my pet peeves, lol. 

 

Its like when SFC temps are 10-15F in a SWFE but all your getting is 8:1 dense needles because its only -3C at H7.

Last event did have good ratios though....inverted trough events with very cold temps usually have good ratios because the lift is fairly low and right in the snow growth region. I think I had like an inch out of 0.05 of qpf.

I think it's more of a case of relating sfc temps to snow growth instead of looking at omega and the dgz aloft.
