40/70 Benchmark Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 I will say it now...its still early and I could be completely wrong...but this looks like another longitude storm. But I think its west of the last one. Still would like to be in BOS for this over ORH...but maybe my tune will change in 24-36 hours. I think the longitude of NE will help in this...the ridge is very far east. NAM looks good, I hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan11 Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 The lake gets active tomorrow night and maybe some seeder feeder type situation with the retro low....not sure. Anyway maybe I can pull an inch or two to freshen up my 2" that remains on the lawn for a white xmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Euro ensembles are actually pretty far se. Maybe 150 miles or so se of the BM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinch Leatherwood Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Euro ensembles are actually pretty far se. Maybe 150 miles or so se of the BM. I think the op Ec is bogus. IMO it's a signal maybe that it's about to have a ggem freakout that it almost redevelops the low like the ggem did in the 12z. It wants to capture it totally but can't quite so it came up with the next best scenario. We should see some better consensus today at 12z but looking at the ens and 6zs I'm not buying it yet.

moneypitmike Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Boy, what a change 12 hours makes. For mby, I've gone from an epic blizzard on the 12z EC to what I think might still be a warning event (can't reallly tell how the qpf is here) on the 00z EC. I have EC ensembles that are painting an even gloomoier picture, and I have a GFS that's still a fish storm (though a couple ens memebers have a nice hit). I fear I am both latitudinally and longitudinally challenged with this. I'm sure glad I didn't stay up for any of these runs last night. Those would be a few hours of my life I'd never get back. Congrats to the southern and eastern portions of SNE. By the way--for those who are concerened about the bull's eye several days out--look back at the big mid-Atlantic storms last year. BWI had bull's eyes painted on it for days. I kept waiting for that bull's eye to move up to NE and just sat there. We all painfully remember how those played out.

I wouldn't want to be in the bullseye right now anyway. lol I was about to post the same thing. For the interior locations of the northeast (and maybe all of us), we need the low to track further north than the gulf coast line. Right now it has the surface low coming across FL. In order to make that trajectory north, it's going to wrap/close-off well south of being a NE hit before heading ots. Give us a track over GA and we'll be in business. Unless that changes, I think the best we can hope for is a Cape special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Cisco at HPC who is one of the best with a crush job This one is coming.. Why anyone is givng the GFS any credence at all is just bewildering to me..but whatever Euro and it's ensembles stay the course WITH THE ECMWF LOCKING ONTO AN EVOLUTION THAT TAKES THE DEVELOPING LOW TO THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE AND THEN SHARPLY UP THE EASTERN SEABOARD. THE GEM GLOBAL FOLLOWED THE EUROPEAN CENTRE TRACK ON ITS 00Z/21 RUN...BUT HAS SWUNG THE SYSTEM OUT WIDER OVER THE ATLANTIC THE LAST TWO RUNS. THE GFS HAS SHIFTED TO THE SOUTHERN ROUTE ACROSS THE GULF STATES ON ITS CURRENT RUN...BUT LIKE THE GEM GLOBAL...DIRECTS THE CYCLONE WELL SOUTH AND EAST OF CAPE HATTERAS. THE ECENS MEMBERS HAVE AVERAGED CLOSE TO THE DETERMINISTIC ECMWF...WITH MANY MEMBERS FOLLOWING IT EXACTLY...AND OTHERS TRACKING A BIT FARTHER OFFSHORE. THE EUROPEAN CENTRE GUIDANCE HAS THE ADVANTAGE IN DEVELOPMENTAL SYSTEMS WITH ITS HIGH RESOLUTION...AND IS FURTHER AIDED BY ITS 4D-VAR ANALYSIS IN GENERAL. ITS ENSEMBLE MEMBERS ARE MORE HIGHLY RESOLVED THAN THE GEFS MEMBERS...AND WITH DYNAMIC...DEVELOPMENTAL SYSTEMS...THE EUROPEAN GUIDANCE SHOULD HAVE THE EDGE. INDEED...THE GEFS MEAN HAS BEEN CONSISTENTLY FLATTER WITH THE PATH OF THE BIG STORM...WHICH IS CERTAINLY IN LINE WITH THE LOWER RESOLUTION. EVEN SO...FOUR 00Z/22 GEFS MEMBERS STILL TRACKED COMPARABLY TO THE ECMWF...SHOWING A DEEP NOREASTER AND A HIGH IMPACT STORM FOR THE MAJOR METROPOLITAN AREAS ASTRIDE INTERSTATE 95 FROM WASHINGTON TO BOSTON. TO WIT...THESE GEFS MEMBERS ARE GOING AGAINST THEIR LOWER RESOLUTION/LESS DEVELOPMENTAL NATURE. THE ECMWF HAS MUCH CLIMATOLOGY ON ITS SIDE AS WELL...WITH ITS TRACK WEST OF THE GULF STREAM...AND THE BOMBING PHASE NEAR AND NORTH OF CAPE HATTERAS. THE MOST UNUSUAL...AND THREATENING...ASPECT OF THE ECMWF FORECAST IS THE RELATIVELY LOW LATITUDE AT WHICH THE STORM MATURES AND STALLS/LOOPS. MORE TYPICALLY...SYSTEMS WILL CLOSE OFF AND HOVER OVER THE WATERS SOUTH OF NOVA SCOTIA...AS WITH THE MOST RECENT CYCLONE STILL AFFECTING DOWNEAST MAINE. THE ECMWF SHOWS THE UPCOMING CIRCULATION COMING TO A HALT JUST EAST OF THE DELMARVA PENINSULA...WHICH PUTS THE VERY POPULATED AREAS OF THE EASTERN MID ATLANTIC...LONG ISLAND...AND SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND IN A PROLONGED PERIOD OF HIGH WINDS AND HEAVY PRECIPITATION...MOSTLY SNOW. THE EXTRAORDINARY NEGATIVE NAO THIS MONTH COULD CERTAINLY SUPPORT SUCH AN ANOMALY. EVEN BEFORE THE RAPID DEEPENING PHASE OF THE SYSTEM...AREAS OF THE DEEP SOUTH FROM THE INTERIOR GULF COAST STATES TO GEORGIA AND THE MOUNTAINS AND PIEDMONT OF THE CAROLINAS MAY SEE A VERY RARE WHITE CHRISTMAS...AGAIN...CONSISTENT WITH THE REMARKABLE DISRUPTION AT HIGH LATITUDES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE MODEL ITERATIONS EACH RUN WILL LIKELY CHANGE CONSIDERABLY OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS GIVEN THE TYPICAL PHASING PROBLEMS THE OPERATIONAL MODELS HAVE REGARDING SPLIT JET STREAM PATTERNS.

In order for it to make that trek, it will need to bomb too soon for the interior. UNLESS--it can trek further north as it moves east across the southern tier.

I wish we could get thru to him that this is not a miss.Not the same setup we just had Well, know one knows if this will be a miss or not really. It's still out there. However, congratulating anyone at this range is premature at best. I'm typically overly optimistic and I've been trying to take a more metered approach. That said, this has a better look and feel to me. I could definitely see this one coming to fruition. Mike may just be trying some reverse psychology. He hasn't had enough snow lately.

moneypitmike Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 [ Mike, before you run out for more rope and a tippier chair heed the advice above. Geez, already tossing inn the towel. Pete, I'm not running out for rope. lol Also, I'm not reading the models literally. What I am saying is that I think we need the progressiong of the southern system to be a little further north than what's currently being modeled in order for their to be a good hit in the interior. Kevin--I don't think I'm being negative. At a VERY rudimentary level, I do think I'm pointing out what needs to happen in order for this to happen in interior areas. No towel's being thrown in.

CoastalWx Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Because of a few members skewing it. Are you saying Cisco is wrong? I think that was written before 00z EC ensembles came out. I'm just saying what they show. They shifted se by about 100 miles from 12z. The euro op is def a western outlier on this run, and I don't see extreme eastern outliers on the spaghetti plots. That doesn't mean they are right either...this is what they show. The H5 trough is pretty deep and actually closes off south of sne, so it would take just a slight adjustment to bring it nw, but this is a delicate balance with timing and strength of nrn stream.

My hope is that we'll get into some serious snow and after a while he cries "Uncle". My "congrats" comment is the same that is issued on any model run by most people on the board in reference to who's getting jack-potted on a run, not at T-zero. I would think people realize that whenever they see someone saying "congrats". I also see this as one that can come to fruition. I think my posts were reflecting what I think needs to take place in order to make that possible. So, if anything, my posts are not hitching on the model as deterministic. Do they respond to what the run shows? Yes. Am I disappointed when they reduce the historic to less? Absolutely. I don't see anything wrong with applying my utterly rudimentary knowledge of things to suggest what needs to happen. As it's currently depicted, I see it heading too far SE. Those with a better understanding of things may certainly poke holes in my reasoning or have reasoning that says the southern system will not be as far south as it is. I hope they can do both. But, I don't think I should be rebuked for offering a dispassionate take on things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
