Folks--

Been lurking for a few years, but first post here.... but wanted to say both thank you and happy new year.

The Thank You is mostly for providing some real empirical data (model runs) to show what the local mets are predicting. Nothing worse than a prediction with no logic behind it!

The Happy New Year is ensuring you all have a nice cold drink in your hand... I sure do waiting for someone to post some Euro data :)

Happy New Year to 2014 and All my Amazingly Intelligent and Funny Weather Friends!!

And Thanks to Johnny Manziel for giving me an AMAZING Football Game to watch Right up until 30 seconds before the Ball Dropped so I didn't have to watch Any of the Pop Culture Bullcrap that is on TV for Umpteen Hours beforehand. Congrats to Him and Texas A&M!

Now..... LET'S GO EURO!! LET'S GO EURO!! LET'S GO EURO!! 12z From Yesterday Again!!

We want what the euro initially showed days ago

I like the GFS and ECMWF models.  I know, I know ... let's through hot-dogs at the GFS guy but, you'd be like those that ranked on Noah about his ark.  Did a lot of good for them, eh?   

 

But I think a lot of people don't understand "how" the GFS is good.  It sniffs out prospect events like...ridiculously early.  Yeah, it loses them, and it is frustrating, and it is unacceptably a bad grade to do so, but the fact that it did -- and often prior to any other guidance -- is a bit of a deterministic asset when incorporating teleconnector modalities.  

 

Alright, forget the big words... If an early GFS run (like 13 days out) sees an event, and the teleconnectors are supporting it, I have noticed through the years that the event in question has a way of coming back.  The Euro then nails it on a D5 chart and everyone either forgets the GFS ever had it and condemns the model to sucktitude, or don't see the light that there was value in there.  

 

The GGEM on the other hand is just spirals off into imagination like a loose fire hose.

The GFS is like those literature classes you took in college. Its good at "foreshadowing" what's ahead in the novel, play, etc.

Why thy heck am I taking this class? LMAO!

I said the same thing about hydro/thermo theoretical meteorology too!

Oh what a nasty web...

Perfect metaphor.  

 

Although, those dynamics courses are a metaphor for one word:   PAIN 

 

The irony being that that pain actually allows us to detect when the greatest american novel is actually onto something.

The pain was worse when they wanted one to construct a Skewt for Mars, Neptune or Uranus. :-0

Can't compare 6 hour intervals so no 18z comparison...but 00z GEFS are way north of 12z run. Not that we didn't expect that based on trends, but just in case anyone was worried the ensembles wouldn't continue their march north.

It's a little north of 18Z, but doesn't look drastic to me.
