Okay- so NAM picked up on something and it looks like RGEM and GFS are also trending towards NAM. SREF is the only model today to trend well. So the question is- what did NAM see, and what should we expect from the 00z Euro? Is there new data being picked up by the weather balloons?

 

I'm not so sure the NAM picked up on anything, it was completely clueless and I think backed its way into the idea of a less phased solution

If you think this is set in stone, you don't know much about weather.

 

Just said I'd sign off on it, as in I would take that solution if it were the final result. Looks reasonable to me, and is a decent compromise between the rivaling model solutions.

The EURO found this storm, the EURO will save this storm. If I wake up in the morning and the EURO has followed the GFS, the odds at anything big plunge rapidly. Tonight is 24 hours out, and, if the models were going to make a change, they are going to do it tonight. Not liking the trend, but, for all you EURO watchers staying up, stay positive, good luck, and THINK SNOW!!!

you do realize the models dont control the weather right?

The manner in which it delivers the snows is a bit odd, you sort of would rather see the snows come from the CCB.

Looks like it does at hr 54 and 60. It's robust enough for me. Theres an inch of liq onto long island. 75perc frozen Don't think we should expect anything more. Ths was always a sne bomb

The southern stream wave continues to looks nice on radar

And that is more impressive than both the NAM and GFS initialized with and it also could be causing model chaos for both. Bottom line though remains, will the primary phase, transfer and weaken and die out earlier than the NAM and GFS continue to show.

the thing that is different about the gfs is actually it isnt nearly the SNE bomb most models have predicted--in fact in terms of snowfall it backtracked a lot more for them than our area

There could be convective feedback issues, the models can sometimes "burp" once or twice in a dynamic situation like this, but if the guidance unanimously swings east, especially the Euro, I think most of us can eliminate the chance of a significant-major event, outside of maybe eastern LI and much of CT. Doesn't mean there won't be a few inches though. The progressive flow and lack of a block worried me from second one.

Yup and they even have surface temperature issues part of the time. Text output suggests they'd only manage a foot of snow. Hardly a Federal disaster area or worthy of closing their ports other than maybe a smart thing to do due to wind concerns.

Problem is both models initialized wrong so both models are having inherent issues, especially the Nam with its high res, like I said lets see the full 00z suite especially the euro. The euro is usually very consistent and does very well in handling THESE types of storms
