1/28 - 1/30 Storm Thread II

NAM leaves ATL pretty dry. Looks like less than .1" so not what I really wanted to see.

  Yep, but it did take a jog closer vs 6z.  Not that it means much.   It is more amped which is good as well for us.  Step toward what Robert had said I guess

 

Maybe not as much as I thought, taking a closer look.  Not much of a shift

The northern branch digs a bit more on the 12z NAM than on the 6z, and thus the precip shield took a slight jog to the north. This had nothing to do with phasing with the southern piece through 48 hours.

Looks like the polar jet s/w digs a little more and check out the difference in the wind flow at least at 500mb more is more SSW over NC/SC at least then SW. this allow more of a moisture tap. Also 250mb jet streak is a bit stronger across OV/NE then it was so better upper diveregence.

 

Taken literally a nice 4-5 incher across Raleigh.

Yep more southern component aloft, better moisture tap. Also better upper divergence with the upper jet stream a little stronger.

Is that just with 10:1 ratios?

This system is going to be nerve racking. 12z comes in wetter than the 06z run but it's faster. However, it is more amplified than the 06z run with the trough so precip actually is pulled inland a little more the further east you go

 

 12z run puts me very close to 0.50 liquid as it shifted those amounts northwest  about 20 or 30 miles. But those 20 or 30 miles are going to be huge Because of how sharp the gradient will be. Go 30 more miles northwest and you only get a dusting. As gsp noted, you could see drastically different amounts just across one county along this line.

 

It's way too close for my comfort, even though I'm in a much better position than areas northwest of 85. But if it ends up being further southeast by just a few miles, it's going to be maddening watching the radar as the precip shield scoots by barely to the south and east. It's already frustrating that people at the same latitude east of here will also have more precip. And unfortunately, that is going to be the case for quite a few people somewhere over north ga and the western carolinas.

Your SREF plumes look to have a majority of the members above 4". Still not a bad lick if it were to verify!

One would think the cut off could literally go right through atlanta....southeast burbs could get pummeled & northwest burbs only a dusting...

Read more post less. Seriously.

His name sort of gives it away... Anyways burger have you noticed the 2nd wave the NAM has hinted at recently, around 72-84hr range? What does 12z run show for that? Could be a second thump for coastal areas if that we're to verify but didn't see any support from other models for it either. This storm is quite the enigma and I have a feeling it'll have a lot of surprises, good and bad, for many on here.

Never said a thing about NC....and the trends ARE bad. I didn't know I needed to write a synopsis on why.

simply making comments like "trends are bad" is just a waste of people's time. It  takes people longer to find meaninfull posts and information. Besides that fact, one can just read the posts of those who actually take the time to explain things to find out if the trend is good or bad. Making really obvious statements which adds nothing to the discussion simply aren't necessary and it annoys people. So the one liners need to be cut back folks.

The 09Z SREF plumes are out now.  Here are the results for Hickory, NC, on the NW fringe.

 

Last night's 21Z mean: 6 inches

This morning's 03Z mean: 3 inches

This morning's 09Z mean: 3 inches

 

 

I'll give it to the SREF members. Really the first ensemble members to pick up more precip back NW and its been holding its ground good over the last 48 hours or so.  Even though some of the extreme phase solutions have backed down to a more realistic mean.

Wow -- brutal run for Gulf Coast -- Biloxi/Mobile/Pensacola/Ft. Walton hammered with ugly ice storm.

We do not have the infrastructure to deal with this kind of an ice event. Got to go back to Christmas Eve 1989 for an analog. I-10 was shut down from Mobile to Jacksonville due to ice in overpasses. Tallahassee had a nice dusting back then.

Def. looks good for Myrtle Beach with that second thump.
