Also FWIW the 18z RGEM is not as strong with the northern system as the earlier 12z run.

 

Most systems JMHO as they approached ended up being modeled weaker and weaker in the northern stream. 

 

You know, no matter what the cycle, I could run out and find the crappinest most disappointing solutions and bandy them as the end of days, too - 

 

Let's let it ride for while, gee wiz.   The 30 hour trend is toward higher impact - just because one interval stepped...meaninglessly back in scale, doesn't mean much - there's too much weight on the former to allow one cycle that much proxy on one's decision.

I was telling people in the NYC forum be careful about wishing for the weaker primary because while we flood less with warm air if that happens we may have a later phase on the second low.

You are missing the point. It had a massive blizzard 6 hours ago . 12 hours before that it was a whiff. You can't use a model like that. None us saying the 3 feet on the euro is right but at least it's been consistent

 

6 hours ago the shortwaves were timed well enough to make a blizzard, now the timing is off just enough that it escapes more east before bombing. That is still valuable information. And a Euro/GFS is still a big hit for part of New England. Too early to toss.

This point can't be driven home enough, That is the key feature to watch

Well it's a forecasting discussion thread tip, there's plenty of room for pros and cons. I put the chances of a euro op verifying at near nil but that's IMHO and nobody else has to agree of disagree it doesn't matter to me either way. I think the situation with the northern stream being over modeled are probably going to come into play. IE it doesn't dig as much which allows the southern stream to gain more east first.

I hope I'm totally and miserably wrong. Just to be clear. I will take a track SE of the BM I think for now but it's 3 days away so anything can happen.

The 3+ inch qpf on the op euro should warrant skepticism on how it arrived at that solution.

How?  Its quite a viable solution getting up to 3"+ of QPF.  The H5 low closes off as the two streams phase creating a 973mb surface low which brings blizzard conditions and wild QPF numbers in a 6 hour time period.  Those wild numbers in QPF are viable in the situation that was being modeled, so I don't think people should be skeptic of the 12z EURO.

It's really not that much different except the phase is later. It still has the bomb it's just further east.

And how the heck is 1" QPF at BDL "a whiff"?

GFS is still warning snow for all.

Doesn't look so bad friends...18zgfsensemblep72084.gif

That's a solid warning snow of 6-10" for all...not sure why everyone keeps seeing it as a "bad run."

You already know there are going to be folks disappointed on Friday if they "only" get 8.5" of snow, lol. All over one ECM run. Every other ECM run had half the QPF as 12z.

It's more that people are skeptical of modeled historic events at this lead time. There's a reason these events don't happen as often as they are modeled.

No one said the GEFS were a bad run AFAIK.

Yes but events like these are modeled too often as you think with this type of consistency.  Makes you wonder what the EURO is seeing and the other models aren't seeing.

The only useful 18z GFS run was 12/24/2010. But that was only because 12z had been initially dismissed as an initialization error.  18z hinted that it's solution was still valid. Other than that there is too much noise in 18z runs to establish any trends.  Really need to wait for a 12 or 00z runs to get a full consensus.

People would be rightly skeptical of 3.5" liquid at any lead time.  Right until they buried the yardstick in fact.  It's like an over under of 100 in a football game.  Could be Boise State at Hawaii, there's nowhere to go but down.
