I wouldn't call it "dry," but it is indeed drier than the GFS, and for good reason. The GFS has been having boundary layer issues with this event and has not modeled the low-level mixing that should lower the dewpoints to within the realm of what the NAM has. You can see by the sharp dewpoint change near the surface that the GFS is not properly mixing out the boundary layer:

What site are you using for these?  Nice interface.

995 is strong for a miller b primary any time of year. We are lucky the timing isn't 6 hrs slower or it cold really be a historic outbreak.

 

yeah.. the timing is still a bit off but i agree the ceiling is a historic event.

I think even if the timing is a bit earlier than we'd "like" it will probably still be substantial. The question is it going to be a truly memorable one.

The Euro still had a ~996 north of HGR at 0z Thurs. In Euro we trust.

27 10 second EF0s, and an EF5 thru the Mall.

 

That is not acceptable. At least toss me an EF-2 in the woods near my house so I can observe with no casualties. 

IN all seriousness tho - I'm trying to decide if I should take tomorrow off work or not. I would like to either drive around (not chase) or track from home...can't be distracted by work on a day like tomorrow. Need to decide by the time the 1730z comes out.

Was about to make this comment. The Euro paints a pretty grim picture for anyone east of I-81 and south of the PA turnpike. The NAM and GFS continue to both be more progressive/weaker with the low.

It is interesting that the GFS/NAM are slowing down ever so slowly... not as slow as the EURO... but enough to help us reach a more "substantial" risk for severe in our area.  I would gather EURO is worst case scenario re timing?

More dangerous than the GFS/NAM? Yes. Worst-case scenario? Probably not, but for this situation and this location, maybe. How's that for a definitive answer, HA!

It's been more or less steady now too with the Americans still shifting around a bit run to run. I mean.. I hate hugging the Euro just because it's the Euro but it is the Euro.

That literally is the only way to express the model situation. If only we had a high-resolution NCEP model that is supposed to be favored in convective events. Oh wait....

If this was winter, it would be the opposite -- great GFS/NAM runs and weak EURO and the EURO would be right.  Now its weak GFS/NAM runs and great EURO :axe:

 

That's cause everyone is snow weenies on here and hope the GFS/NAM is right in winter but, know the Euro will usually win. In this case not everyone is hoping for a tornado to hit their house. lol
