eh, gfs pushed the track further south. Vort looks better but without any help from phasing its going to roll off the coast like a gutter ball.

 

gfs doesnt understand phasing. la la lock it up. #coldrain

0z will have purples over us.  Mark my words.

 

We both know the off and on dream runs will randomly continue. When the gfs, euro,  nam'd, rap, sref, rgem, jma, arw, c'est emcee,  hrrrrrrr, nograsp, and craps all show a bomb with a 6 hour lead....maybe....just maybe....i'll be a believer.

There are far more gfs members that wind this thing up into a storm for the region than don't. They do it at different times over about a 24 hour period, but the op doesn't have much company with the off the coast version. I think that is significant. I think at this stage you go with the majority of model solutions. I'd like to see how many ec members have a sig storm. Not the mean, just how many.

Certainly more ensemble members are a bit wrapped up than previous runs like 6z and 12z.  Op looks about the weakest.

While we all wait on the GFS, I have a question. Did we have models in 1993? If so, how did they model the Superstorm at 7 days? I know that one showed up early as I can remember forecasts days in advance.

no internet back then but I remember 5 days out the computers they did have (LFM?-ask Wes, he'll know) were advertising a big one

European had it 10 days out. I was a coop student at the NWS. I went to briefings every day. No one was ready to believe it. Then it lost the system for one day and everyone thought the GFS (AVN) was right. Then both had it and they decided to believe it! Was amazing to see.

I think it would be awesome to have an absolute monster to track for a week plus.

the last day the briefing was packed. TV cameras and everyone. Louis Uccelini ran the show for the forecast dept in Camp Springs MD. I remember the craziness. It was fun. Some old guys were yelling that the forecasters were not loud enough. Standing room only! It was crazy but fun.

I don't see how that storm isn't the number one for any weather enthusiast. I guess if you didn't experience it first hand it might not mean as much, but, my God, wow. I experienced single digit temps, sustained winds of near 50 for hours and 26 inches of snow......in the middle of March.

That storm fascinates me. I wish I had had the experience of watching it unfold in the days leading up to it.
