Yah no words were put in your mouth. Next time take a chill pill and PM if you have an issue you think I am calling you out. Big difference between "putting words" in someone's mouth and mis-interpreting their statements.

Wow, pretty sure that over the course of the last week, you are the only one around here who needs to "chill" out. You seem to mis-interpret a lot of poster's statements. It is becoming a common and reoccurring theme.

Yeah I think we have all gone over this a million times. Canuck and I had a good conversation on this. Either way, if you can find one instance of me needing to chill out, please PM it to me or let me know. I think you will have a tough time finding it.

Your attitude in general as well as your attitude towards other posters leaves a lot to be desired, at least IMO.

That 2nd s/w dropping out of the northern Plains acts as a kicker and prevents the main s/w from slowing and amplifying. 18z actually attempted a phase at the 2 shortwaves.

Thus a part of the problem. It does seem to be a part of the reason the storm kinda goes poof and dives ese.

WAAAYYYY weaker than the 18z for us. And quite a ways south too.

yep...

although i'll gladly take this over a shift north from 18z. All i care about right now is the gfs continues to track a storm across the lower OV upper TV....as do most the other models. Precip output and that kind of stuff doesn't mean crap right now.

It is the subtle changes you have to be on the lookout for. One of then would be the models having a bit of a stronger storm in the Plains. This storm i strongly believe was getting ready to POP till that disturbance showed up out of Canada. Thus i suspect if thats not there we see some big changes in the next few days.

Yet the surface low is here??

Yeak..Ok.. :lol:

Yeah, about this. So there's a strong S/W that somehow spins up so much it splits itself into 3 pieces that rotate around each other and weaken or something? I'm not really sure what happened here. I notice it's around the QPF 'bomb' as well. Just interesting and wondering what happened there.

something does not make sense with this run at all, not seeing how the storm gets sheared out like it does. while the placement through here looks about right, not seeing how it goes nearly ESE from the MS river east. Still shows a LOT of ice for the STL area, or close to it with snow just north of the STL metro.

:lmao:

Freudian slip?

:lol:

Oh god, harry is gonna kill me. Lol. Sorry harry. You made sense. Henry never makes sense lol

All is good. :lol:

DT posted some nice graphics in the model thread showing the distinction.

Yet they continue on as if it was a good run? :lightning::arrowhead:

i think folks west of IN in the midwest are pretty solid for a good hit. Pretty much no doubt a storm is coming out of the rockies with a lot of juice. It's what happens east of that point from michigan thru the OV. Does it dry out, wind up, crush out off the se coast????

Unfortunately we wont have this answer from the GFS till the next run. My own thinking remains the same. All depends on what happens to the Atlantic blocking and to a lessor extent any possible phasing.

Well that run of the gfs didn't make much sense. The qpf was bullish on the 18z, but the placement of things made sense. I got a feeling we're going to have to wait til Wednesday or Thursday to know for sure. I'm sure something will throw a wrench at some point.

S/W at 500 isn't closed. It may appear that way, but the actual wind circulation isn't closed off, it's still an open wave, and the jet would support the low where it is. At the moment, it appears to carry a steady-state SLP across the Plains while slowly strengthening the 850-500 upper wave. This is the non-phased scenario, which as I mentioned before, still produces a decent storm for the Midwest, and a further south track eastward. The GFS, being a lower-res global, may not be giving the strengthening the storm will likely experience over the Plains in this scenario, so even with this run, I would expect it to track a bit slower and further north.

The 00Z NAM is suffering from the "phase shift" problem (very obvious from early in the run), and is complete and utter garbage. It is not to be used for any serious discussion on this storm.
