February 13-14th Potential Winter Storm Threat Discussion

Not a lot, the NAM is wildly inaccurate at this range. But it's worth keeping it in the back of your mind especially with the SREF more amplified and the GFS not completely a whiff either.

 

If the Euro was right I'd expect the NAM to be more amped than the Euro but not THIS much, the NAM being this far NW to me means the GFS may have the right idea right now.

Yeah, I posted back on the last page to look out for the low levels and boundary layer with southeast winds likely ahead of the system at 10m. I'm sure there would be some potential for some frozen precipitation as the coastal low developed. But its interesting to see the NAM trending farther northwest with the eventual track of the vortmax. Yesterdays DGEX extension had the vort tracking off the coast.

 

at 84 hrs the soundings are still snow north of Trenton, although NYC is a bit warm at the surface.

It is the true king....but 3 days out it can still move to the GFS, it's not like the euro and GFS are light years apart (like the Nam).  [/quot

The euros precip shield looks light. Mayb a bias at ths range But it doesnt even hav a northern component. Its one southern sw and is south. I just believe it. Too me the nam is not anywhere near its range. I would have like the euro ens to hav been further north. It has been spot on since dec. It likes the wknd system and i do too

Agree, I think the NAM is too amped up. In the next coming days I thiink the NAM will def trend less amped.

Quite frankly the fact that the NAM is a rainstorm makes the Euro solution even more unlikely to verify. A NAM snowstorm would've meant the range in possible storm tracks was significantly smaller, and thus a higher probability of the ECMWF being close to reality. The 18z NAM is honestly the best solution one could ask for given the Euro.

Agree. I would now expect the Euro to trend a bit more NW

I love JB , he` s a personal friend I know hes just saying its not the table  , but AC is the northern extent IMO , not the midpoint .

The GFS shift south is subtle , not saying its a lock and that  the Euro has to be right , but I would bet the models break south and not the Euro north .
