We all should be extrapolating the NAM around this time tomorrow! "if" i was a meteorologist, i wouldn't focus on details this far out. i'd look at the overall setup. i think that's what separates the contenders and the pretenders when it comes to forecasting. the prize fighters are better at judging the overall pattern instead of weenie'ing over each model run. takes a lot of patience.

Avdave Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Watch out Norman, when I bring the trolling hammer down on you, there will be no mercy. You got some nerve trolling me. You can't even nail down a storm 136 hours out. You sure you used to work for HPC? DT going ape**** over a model that tends to overdevelop east coast storms. The UK is pretty to look at tho.

We all should be extrapolating the NAM around this time tomorrow! I think most of us understand its a long shot, even if all the models had a storm at this point it would still be at best a 50/50 proposition. BUT...we have had 2 years of just crap to look at, and we have 2 models with a nice hit, one is an inland runner and one is OTS...its a chance, maybe low percentage but a real chance at a significant event and I think its worth of some excitement as long as we undertand its still more likely to miss then hit. Sometimes, looking through the KU book at all the near misses where everything was lined up good, moster high in new england, -NAO, +PNA, miller a moster STJ system out of the gulf and somehow we still get screwed by either a primary up west of us or just too far east of us or develops too late to really get us hard. There are so many ways for these things to go wrong even when the setup is right. Its like a golf swing, 100 moving parts and if any one of them goes wrong, its all crap. I like the setup, its got a chance, and thats all we can ever really say at 100 hours out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psuhoffman Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I miss the NGM. Seriously. Just for fun I wish there was a site that ran the old ETA, NGM, and AVN/MRF just so we can look at them and see what we would have been thinking if this was the 1990's just to track how much progress we have made.

psuhoffman Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I dont like any threat for our latitude that is a late developer that requires a timed phase...they usually trend north and develop too late or go OTS we need an overrunning component...1/25/00's are extremely rare True, because the general bias of the models tends to be to place h5 features too far south at 72 hours plus, and also to phase too quickly. Often times as we get closer the meso scale things that can make a clean phase tricky and messy start to show up and the models pick up on it, and thus we see the correction "north" with the impact.

psuhoffman Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 We can do well with phased solutions but we need the northern branch to be digging in, slowing down, and for the phase to begin well south of our lattitude. These screaming west to east lakes vorts phasing off the mid atlantic coast are a lost cause for us usually. We need a northern system that is digging down the west side of a trough and phases into a STJ system. Those are our big dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The evolution as depicted is highly improbable. The way precip blossoms just to our southwest is way too risky. Even 1/25/2000 was already a well esstablished system, just a matter of coming up or not. When it comes to depending on a sysytem to literally mature when it's on our doorsteps painfully reminds of 12/30/2000. There can always be a precedent, but I agree we need an overrunning component.

It's a really sharp trough though with some ull energy. Just not robust early on. Look @ 700. Good pull off the gulf and lift. It could be multiple vorts for all we know. One that pull modest overrunning followed by one that blows up (or a total whiff. it's tough to expect a good solution anytime soon). Anytime you get a sharp trough like this from the arctic circle all the way to the gom, many things can happen. It's kinda why I've been scratching my head a little with the euro. Looks prime @ 500 overall but nothing active of note anywhere until the trough swings through and things start popping where only a snow weenie on a fishing boat would care.

psuhoffman Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 What are your thoughts for our area on Wednesday night. I think we have a decent chances for several inches. I think we are in a good spot, so long as expectations are reasonable. This doesn't look like a major snow, but a couple inches in our area seems possible. I don't see much reason this gets suppressed, the northern branch is not squashing as much right now, and the globals are starting to pick up on that. I also think we have just enough elevation in our area that these marginal events can work out for us pretty well. I think a small accumulation is very possible and even and outside chance at a moderate 3-5" thump event if we get a NAM like solution. I am trying to keep it low key since I know how much the DC area people are suffering right now, but I do like our area for the VD threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
