Yep NAM was certainly interesting @84.  Gotta see where the DGEX takes it.  You would think a phase a neg tilt would be coming up over the 24 hours out of the NAM. Gotta see if the NAM can play the victor yet again. 

 I really don't want to feel like I am reading the Mid Atlantic thread but the DGEX being thrown around is killing me haha. Regardless, the NAM would be  interesting if it happened verbatim.

NWP GUIDANCE HAS STRUGGLED DURING THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS IN HANDLINGTHE TIMING AND POSSIBLE PHASING OF THESE WAVES ACROSS THE EASTERNCONUS WHILE INDICATING THAT PHASING/CYCLOGENESIS WAS LIKELYOFFSHORE. RECENT GUIDANCE REMAINS SOMEWHAT VARIED BUT THEDETERMINISTIC 12Z GUIDANCE WAS PERHAPS CONVERGING TO A VERY LIMITEDQPF EVENT NEAR THE COAST. RECENT ENSEMBLE MEMBERS FROM THE GFS ANDEC...NOTABLY THE ENSEMBLE MEAN SUGGEST A MORE PHASED SYSTEM CLOSERTO THE COAST. WITH ALL OF THIS SAID THE QPF GUIDANCE NOTES AWOEFULLY LIGHT EVENT ACROSS CENTRAL NC AND THERE REMAINS ENOUGHUNCERTAINTY TO KEEP POPS CONFINED TO THE SLIGHT CHANCE RANGE FORSATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY MORNING WITH THE GRADIENT OF POPSINDICATING HIGHER POPS IN EAST/SOUTHEAST LOCATIONS. THE AIR MASS ISQUITE COLD AND WOULD GENERALLY SUPPORT SNOW IN MOSTLOCATIONS...EXCEPT FOR DURING THE EVENING ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST WHERERAIN/SNOW SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE. HIGH TEMPERATURES ON SATURDAY SHOULDREACH THE MID 40S TO LOWER 50S SO TEMPERATURES ARE LIKELY TO REMAINABOVE FREEZING THROUGH THE EVENING AND EARLY OVERNIGHT IN MOSTLOCATIONS...ESPECIALLY THE SOUTHEAST. COLD TEMPERATURES WITH HIGHSIN THE LOW TO MID 40S ARE EXPECTED SUNDAY WITH OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THEMID TO UPPER 30S SUNDAY NIGHT.

I'm pretty sure that the DGEX is the 84 hour GFS run with the NAMs computer. So basically like a higher resolution GFS from 90-192.

 

From The Ewall site

 

 

 

The Downscaled GFS with ETA Extension model or DGEX model is a 192-hour, high resolution version of the WRF model. The DGEX model run begins at hour 84 (the final hour of the WRF model) and ends at hour 192. The DGEX model gathers its information from the previous run of the GFS model and runs the model out to 192 hours. The DGEX model is run twice a day at 06UTC and 18UTC. The DGEX model is only available for the eastern portion of the country on the 40km grid. The DGEX model is located on the left side of the e-Wall in the “Extras” section as shown below in figure 1.

How much data new data is going to be ingested into the 0z model suite tonight?  I believe we had some reconnaissance flights today and some shortwaves are moving over land into British Columbia presently.

Dacula posted the recon flight information earlier today, I'm not sure what the turn around time is on that before it is ingested into the model runs. I still think we have to let this current energy move on it's merry way before we have a clearer picture for the weekend.

Winds at a particular level are peak winds since a dropsonde only records momentary slices of data at each level as it falls through the atmosphere. These winds are not 1 minute sustained. The highest wind observed in the "Significant Wind Levels" section is noted in bold.

The ensembles do not look good... 12z op Canadian is a clear outlier within its own suite, most of the members have a system impacting the Canadian maritimes by 108hrs with development occurring anywhere from well off the VA Capes to the Delmarva, a simple majority+ have a very Miller B transfer look to them. I do not see any that indicate even a minor event for areas of the SE, including coastal regions. http://www.weatheroffice.gc.ca/ensemble/index_e.html

12z GFS ensemble did not update on Allan's site for some reason today, possibly a good thing as the panels on PSU are pretty bleak. A couple are closer to the NC coast with development, one (P003) significant event, and the rest are either doing a B type transfer from the low in SE Canada, or developing the cyclone half way to Bermuda. http://www.meteo.psu.edu/~fxg1/ENSPRSNE_12z/ensprsloopmref.html

I do not have access to the EC members, but I would venture to say they are much like the GFS and CMC, overwhelming majority miss, with a little bit of variation thrown in just to keep it mildly interesting. The operational run of the Euro may be more telling, a great deal of variability between the 12 and 0z in the minor nuances that will be oh so important. Take 9z Saturday for example, +93hrs on the 12z run and 105 on 0z, the energy over the ArkLaTex is clearly more consolidated on the 12z run, 0z had energy already shearing off to the ENE, the graphics are below.

Great news you say, not quite, back that storm wagon up north and lets see what's different in Canada, the fabled backside parcel. I will use the same period, 9z Saturday, note this piece of energy (a little NNW of center in the pic below) on the 0z run, obviously not going for a phase, but this helped on the 0z run to straighten out the trough a bit, clearly shown if you looped it ahead.

Lets compare that to 12z, energy is late arriving, may not seem like a huge difference, but when you have a positive trough axis that needs to right tilt over MS/AL, could be meaningful as t is stepped. Another difference, look at the energy on the 0z graphic above over MN, MI, IA, on the 12z run it would appear that some is already involved over the central plains, with possibly a greater amount not breaking off and pulling away over the Hudson Bay.

post-382-0-84331700-1360714772_thumb.jpg


Lastly, lets look at what is actually contained at the base of the trough. I am going to use 0z Sunday for the frame of reference. 0z run almost has a disjointed look, with a vmax hanging back just south of LA, tail and all. 12z has better consolidation, you can still see the tail, but the torque being applied to the orientation is not as significant, hence a 12z is not as positive. Another thing is the amount of energy still involved from the leading wave, much more on the 0z run, just look at the vort over the Apps. Compare to the 12z run, most of that energy is taken away in to the NE.

Could this event, if there is an event, be similar to the 1/23/11 event that only hit the outer banks? Just reading the analysis of it both that storm and the storm currently modeled look very similar.

http://www.erh.noaa.gov/mhx/EventReviews/20110122/20110122.php

I remember this storm vividly. Talk about being pissed. Got like 1 inch in Norfolk. This is the type storm where Hatteras can get snow from though.

Pretty much unanimous agreement with the 18z mems at 72hrs, there goes our potential big dog off the SE Coast, trough could not tap it in time...   :(

 

post-382-0-10232900-1360716054_thumb.jpg

 

Still a few, 3 or 4, that indicate development associated with energy coming down, P009 gets the 18z GFS  :weenie:  award today. congrats 009, you earned it.
