franklin NCwx Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Ya I am riding the Euro. I think it has done the best so far.euro and its ensembles have been the most consistent. Ride it! Cmc as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobr57 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Ha, I feel like we're all starting to get a little greedy. Even with the lowest model run we'll have more snow than we've had in 4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with the lowest model run we'll have more snow than we've had in 4 years.I mean if were gonna get a big dog. Might as well be THE BIG dog. That said anything from 6 up and I'll be happy. Preferably double digits. I notice that this weekend isn't going to be AS warm as previously advertised, maybe it won't all melt away so quickly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacobr57 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I do wonder if the colder trend will lead to better ratios for us. Edit: Ouch, 00z NAM has .25 inches less QPF than the 18z. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HKY18 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Man, the in-house model at WCNC really hammers the eastern facing slopes of the apps. Upslope flow ftw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobr57 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Have to say, not liking the trends of the 00z models tonight. NAM and GFS both seem to be drier and/or further east. Not to mention the 21z SREF was slightly reduced from the 15z. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxBlue Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 GFS was narrower with big snow, but the storm path did shifted west somewhat via meteorologists on Twitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobr57 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 GFS was narrower with big snow, but the storm path did shifted west somewhat via meteorologists on Twitter. Huh, I was just tracking based on the other thread and they seemed sure that it had shifted east. The comma head ran from Charlotte to Raleigh, apparently. I personally can't see it yet because the website is so overloaded...well, the 00z euro will be telling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I'm just going with mets on Twitter and I did took a look at snow maps. It's narrower, but the track of low might have shifted west. Maybe I'm just tired.

jacobr57 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 On the other hand, the RGEM looks quite good.It looks like it's a split between the Euro and CMC vs. the NAM and GFS. And personally, I'd rather be on the Euro side than the GFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKY18 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 On the other hand, the RGEM looks quite good. All the models look good, the american models have generally looked less amped than the cmc and euro. The nam and gfs are still 6-10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious, what's the reason for this? Is there a fundamental difference between the American models and the foreign models, or is it just a situational split?

Is there a fundamental difference between the American models and the foreign models, or is it just a situational split? The gfs is always more progressive and east with southern stream systems. But I'm not sure about the NAM, could just be a coincidence that it's foreign VS US models. But I've seen it a few times in the past. The euro and it's ensembles are locked in, pretty hard to beat that combo at this lead time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be up tonight to each the Euro but I do not see it changing a whole lot. Anyway gang about time to put the model watching aside and just see how this all unfolds on the radar soon.

jacobr57 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 HIRES Nam looks very good as well especially over the foothills and western piedmont That's interesting. The NAM looked much drier, but the HIRES NAM looks like it's right in line with that 6-10 inches for the mountains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue_Ridge_Escarpment Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 HIRES Nam looks very good as well especially over the foothills and western piedmont Yes it sure does, some intense snow fall rates would take place if the HIRES NAM is correct.

Its very interesting that the high-res models that run off NAM data seem to be further west with heavy precip... could also be picking up on some of the orographic uplift near the blue ridge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannot wait for the Euro to come out. I have. Feeling when all said and done the Euro will score better than the other models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming some sort of derivative of the NAM based on your later statement? Ya the foothills and mountains are really going to increase rates in WNC. Cannot wait for the Euro to come out. I have. Feeling when all said and done the Euro will score better than the other models. Yes, I'm excited for the Euro. It's been so consistent I don't see it changing all that much.
