Southern Track Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I call a "hiccup" on this run for the extended. I would too. Just can't see that Greenland block get broken down like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sure is different from just a couple days ago, and compared to the GFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjames1992 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 On a somewhat unrelated note, the upgraded GGEM is still being outperformed by the Euro, UK Met, and even the GFS at the day 5-6 range, especially in the Southern Hemisphere.

burgertime Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Well it is 84 hours on the NAM but it is in somewhat of agreement with the GFS. It brings some energy down and places it much further SW but it is a pretty energized piece. I'm starting to get excited about this weekend.

Yeah, it looks stronger and it's even closed off in southern MO/northern AR at hr 84. It looks like a good setup to me, but I may be missing something, so I don't want to say for sure. The energy looks further north than the 12z GFS, too. It will be interesting to see if the 18z DGEX gives us a weenie run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poimen Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I'm afraid the orientation of the trough will be too much for this system to overcome. Last year we really did not have any viable threats but this year has resulted in several winter systems but for each one we have missed a widespread significant event because something somewhere was not quite right. I'm afraid that is happening again this weekend. Frustrating yes, but normal for these parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packbacker Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Euro ENS looks a little better than the op, more of ridge in the west and thus not nearly as flat as the Op. Still might not be enough, at this range we need it more suppressed. Euro Ens Mean day 7 Euro Op Day 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree this will probably not be widespread but if we can get a redux of the other weekend's snow I'll be happy. The same things were said about that one as well. The fact is almost everything has trended wetter and stronger this winter. This time we have the cold so I'll take my chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burgertime Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 EPS control run looked a lot better for this weekend. Had light precip over TN parts of SC and WNC. At 324 it had a big dog for WNC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burgertime Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Not sure north is what we're after. Nope, but anytime you have a system like this it's like rolling dice with every run. Would not shock me if at 00z it gets stronger and puts GA in the game and leaves us out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee_Sidedryslot:-( Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Well gsp must be on to something for this weekend, had me p/cloudy for Saturday and a 20% chance of sn/rn Saturday night and now I'm down for sn/rn Saturday and sn Saturday night both at 40%. Unlike them to have that high of a % for my area this early in the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcbjr Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Well, I want to wish all of you north of here the best of luck in getting the weather you want before spring arrives! Looks like the GFS and Euro have squashed my hopes for a late good freeze and maybe a novelty flake, so I'll be vicariously enjoying/nail biting, through you all!

Not only are the models showing it, but more importantly we have the meterological ingrediants in place for it. If we don't get at least some snow out of this, then we just have the worst luck ever.
