Potential Storm 2/17-2/19

I can name several storms off my head that have made several corrections... Boxing Day, Blizzard of '96, February 10, 2010, January 05 blizzard.

Right, I understand anything is possible, and I totally hope I'm wrong. But it should at least be acknowledged that the Boxing Day-type shifts are closer to the exception than the rule. In our favor we have several models depicting a formidable storm, but it's just important to keep in mind that the signal isn't all that strong and time is running short. Just my thoughts, and I'm not trying to be a debbie by any means.

yeah - its ALWAYS good to roll with the NOGAPS as a lone wolf....(well the GGEM had a driving Rainstorm cut west of us)...the dynamic duo right there

 

Who cares what they say verbatim, the fact that they are not even close to being as flat as the GFS is a red flag IMO

I would not quite stick the fork in this threat yet. The problem is that there is too much activity in the northern stream. As I said before, without much if any blocking in the North Atlantic, the 50/50 low cannot set up there, it just moves away, and that allows for the intensifying moisture laden systems to hook over us or to our west. On the other hand, if the 50/50 low stays there, there tends to be too much confluence too far south and it gets suppressed. The third scenario is that because (lack of blocking) these systems are pushed along too fast they do not develop or phase until they are too far north and east. There is one more problem now showing up which is clearly noted on the 00Z Euro, the decrease in se-ward penetration of the genuinely cold air. But, because of the parade of shortwaves in the southern and northern streams, and the tendency for a transient ridge to build on the west coast, I would not stick the fork yet in any of these threats.

Sounds like you don't buy the models as per EURO and GFS hook line and sinker just yet. Hoping you're on to something. Lee Goldberg on channel 7 ((NYC) said he believes this threat is alive and expects closer to coast solution than progged at the moment.

This weekend, I'm not sure. OT, the 22nd-23rd looks beautiful, a little more room for that one, might have temporary precip-type issues but moves a tad bit slower, it's way down the road so much can change, but it has looked great on many model runs and continues to. We shall see.

NOGAPS looks like a boxing day repeat. It's obviously picking up on something. It picked up on sandy before anything else

its purpose is the tropics...so it should have picked up the hurricane first

the fact that the euro and gfs agree is enough for me to dismiss the NOGAPS

You understand that all that has to happen is the front max has to weaken a bit in the modeling and for the models to see the southern system is stronger and the trough sharpens and the storm bombs at HATT and not 200 miles east , so relax .

The models have over emphasized the northern SW`s all year and they get weaker EVERYTIME we get closer in ..

That may really be the error here . The models that havent strengthened the northern streams , see deepening closer in .
