PB GFI Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 MT HOLLY , FOR SUNDAY AND MONDAY...A STRONGER SHORT WAVE IS FORECAST TO EJECTINTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS SUNDAY, WHICH WILL HELP TO AMPLIFY THEINITIAL ELONGATED UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH. THIS FEATURE STRENGTHENS ANDHELPS INDUCE A SURFACE LOW ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN U.S. AS THIS ISOCCURS, STRENGTHENING HIGH PRESSURE BECOMES SITUATED ACROSSSOUTHEASTERN CANADA AND NEW ENGLAND. THE UPPER-LEVEL JETCONFIGURATION IS SUCH THAT THE UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH MAY TAKE ON ANEGATIVE TILT AS IT SHIFTS TO THE EAST COAST SUNDAY INTO MONDAY. THETIMING OF THIS FEATURE IS A LITTLE UNCERTAIN, BUT OVERALL THE MODELGUIDANCE CONTINUES TO TARGET LATER IN THE WEEKEND INTO THE FIRST OFNEXT WEEK. LOW PRESSURE IS FORECAST TO STRENGTHEN ALONG A BAROCLINICZONE AS IT EMERGES OFF THE CAROLINA COAST LATE SUNDAY. THIS STORMTHEN TRACKS TO OUR EAST, HOWEVER AT LEAST SOME OF THE MODEL GUIDANCEIS SUGGESTING THE DEVELOPMENT OF A DEFORMATION ZONE IN CONJUNCTIONWITH THE INCOMING NEGATIVE TILT TROUGH. THIS STORM HAS THE POTENTIALTO BECOME A SIGNIFICANT NOR`EASTER, AND THERMAL PROFILES AT THISJUNCTURE GENERALLY LOOK COLD ENOUGH TO RESULT IN SNOW. THE FLOWLOOKS PROGRESSIVE ENOUGH AS ADDITIONAL ENERGY COMES ASHORE OF THEPACIFIC NORTHWEST, THEREFORE THIS SYSTEM COULD BE STRONG BUT ARELATIVE FAST MOVER.GIVEN THE SIGNALS IN THE MODELS TARGETING THIS TIME FRAME ANDFOLLOWING CLOSER TO WPC`S TIMING, WE FEEL CONFIDENT ENOUGH TOINCREASE/EXPAND POPS INTO THE LOW LIKELY RANGE. SINCE THIS IS STILLSEVERAL DAYS OUT, THE DETAILS STILL NEED TO BE DETERMINED ANDTHEREFORE DID NOT GET TO FANCY WITHIN THE GRIDS. WE WILL ADD AMENTION OF THIS POTENTIAL STORM TO THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDMK6GLI Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 For those of your wondering the 6z GFS both OP/ensembles still are prett damn good looking. 6z OP looks warm but the system deepens alot and produces boat loads of QPF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you take a SLP from OBX at 1000 MB and 12 hours later its 970 at the BMThat look will not be there as you get closer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rjay Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 HECS i would say. This morning has been sheer panic paul, john explained it best though in the end it still delivered a BIG snow storm. Any word on the euro ensembles/control run Who's panicking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpantz Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 its out far but that would crush the inland sections and have much lower totals along the coast verbatim ATM As an E PA guy, if that's what it takes to jack up the totals west of the Delaware, it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make. Notice the DGEX is offshore, which should deflate any excitement over the GFS. If the DGEX isn't excited, well, I'm not sure anyone should be with this model cycle. Don't hang your hat on the 06Z GFS. WxPorn for sure, but fantasy at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDMK6GLI Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 Who's panicking? just giving an opinion on some of the Debbie downer posts from the overnight suite saying its east and looks like crap. 6Z GFS just saved a lot of weenies lives no panic should've just said premature judgements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoSki14 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 How often do models show a huge storm only to lose it for a bit and then bring it back full force. The answer is many times and the same is happening here, so no worries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BINGO! but want to see the models key in on what that lead wave does as it could very well have implications on the sunday/Monday storm. expect some server crashes around 11 am this morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDMK6GLI Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 DGEX suppressed??? I thought it was always over-amped. after yesterday's pure pornographic snow dump all across the eastern seaboard it made a strong case for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IsentropicLift Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 H5 was a lot better on the 06z GFS than 00z. The system closes off at H5 at hour 147 just south of Long Island. That's a recipe for a bomb. The 06z GEFS mean was also a lot better than 00z. Sounds like we've gotten through our little bump in the road with this one and we should see the rest of the guidance coming on board soon.

IntenseBlizzard2014 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I should probably mention that the energy will be properly sampled at 00Z FEB07TH2014. We have about 10 more runs until we get there. Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superstorm93 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Usually with the biggest of systems for our area, the models tend to lose them as we enter this time frame. I've personally seen this happen at least four times (BDB, Jan 27th, Feb 8-9th 2010, and the Feb Blizzard last year) If by Thursday at 12z the big three don't have at least a decent consensus for a decent storm, then I may be a little concerned. Otherwise, it's just S.S.D.D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not attempting to call you out in specific, but using it as an example of something that shouldn't be happening at this range. The "bump in the road" as you describe it (or "worried" last night) is not a bump in the road, in fact it is just the model guidance changing their ideas on how the storm will evolve. What needs to be understood is that at this range, the important thing is not the specific details of the exact solution, but the pieces in place around it. This is the 6th or more straight GFS run which has shown a well timed psuedo-50/50, impressive confluence, a terrific positioning of the baroclinic zone, a block from the Davis Straight into Central Canada, and a well timed shortwave emerging from the West Coast into the Central US. What happens thereafter is not going to be determined for a few days. But given the impressive set of synoptic features surrounding the storm, what exactly are you worried about?

earthlight Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 maybe the curse word ( no comparsion btw ) march 2001 something that even gives you shivers still probably Well my point is that, if that's going to happen...it's going to happen. There is nothing to be worried about at this juncture. Everything looks good. Latching on to one evolution at h5 and being disappointed in anything that isn't exactly that is a way to set yourself up for major disappointment at 144 hours out .

PB GFI Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I have my concerns about the shortwave becoming completely sheared out. The European is sending the storm out in 2 pieces , Check out the 500 MB ensembles `1 the SE not going to let anything just escape 2 , look at how deep the trough is in the GOA , that argues for a more phased look and 1 system . Should b 1 deep trough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm1220 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I have my concerns about the shortwave becoming completely sheared out. That's what's great about having the blocking in place. It slows down the pattern and allows the S/W to amplify and develop a storm. Without it, I'd agree with you that we risk a solution that flies off the coast and doesn't form or forms too late. Earthlight-excellent post as usual. The specifics won't become important for at least a few more days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pazzo83 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 maybe the curse word ( no comparsion btw ) march 2001 something that even gives you shivers still probably Consider that March 2001 was 13 years ago and modeling/computing power is exponentially better today.
