Ji Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 you complain too much. Anyways, this is a solid eps run. Looks very much like the op. 850's look great through 180 on the averages. Most of our area is in the .20 - .25 contour on back to back 6 hour panels from 168-180. This is significant for ensemble runs. Some good agreement. I'm in. I might start a thread. They always works out. um...the EPS had .80 for this weekend storm about 3-4 days away...soo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Da hell GFS doing on Monday? NS seems to have come out in pieces. First one was very weak and uneventful but set the stage for weak surface reflection to pop east of the br. Next little piece got things cranking. Do I believe it's possible? Yep. Do I believe this run? Nope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlet Pimpernel Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 And now we have brand new mystery vort #3 in play. Since the weekend event is looking lame right now and with discussion of possibilities spilling into next week, would it be worthwhile to just re-name this thread something like "Feb. 8-15 Potential Threats"? Or would that overlap too much with the already existing medium range one? I suppose if the Feb. 8-10 event comes back to life it can be started up separately again.

usedtobe Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I like it. Happy hour. The low nneds to be farther south or surface temps are gonna kill if it is right.....it would be mostly rain for DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Transplant Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Completely OT, but finally some great rain in Northern California. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 The low nneds to be farther south are surface temps are gonna kill if it is right.....it would be mostly rain for DC. It's a phantom at this point. Just another thing to watch. But I agree. The first piece passing north does us no favors. We'll have to see if future runs build on the potential if there is any.

Heisy Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Not a bad setup for the Mid-Atlantic @ 144 hours, positively tilted trough rolling east with some nice gulf moisture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wonderdog Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 trends...trends compare 12z and 18z same time not only is the storm closer, it's stronger; surface maps and 5H maps below (12Z on top and 18Z below); this is just one run and we have 3 days! http://mag.ncep.noaa.gov/NCOMAGWEB/appcontroller/Image.php?image=data%2Fnam%2F12%2Fnam_namer_081_850_temp_mslp_precip.gif&model=nam&area=namer&storm=&cycle=12¶m=850_temp_mslp_precip&fhr=081&group=Model+Guidance&imageSize=M&scrollx=0&scrolly=0 http://mag.ncep.noaa.gov/NCOMAGWEB/appcontroller/Image.php?image=data%2Fnam%2F18%2Fnam_namer_075_850_temp_mslp_precip.gif&model=nam&area=namer&storm=&cycle=18¶m=850_temp_mslp_precip&fhr=075&group=Model+Guidance&imageSize=M&scrollx=0&scrolly=0 http://mag.ncep.noaa.gov/NCOMAGWEB/appcontroller/Image.php?fhr=081ℑ=data%2Fnam%2F12%2Fnam_namer_081_500_vort_ht.gif&model=nam&area=namer¶m=500_vort_ht&group=Model+Guidance&imageSize=M http://mag.ncep.noaa.gov/NCOMAGWEB/appcontroller/Image.php?fhr=075ℑ=data%2Fnam%2F18%2Fnam_namer_075_500_vort_ht.gif&model=nam&area=namer¶m=500_vort_ht&group=Model+Guidance&imageSize=M Maybe hm lite was on to something earlier today.

Nor Easter Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Hmm looks as if there is a phase between the Polar jet s/w and Arctic jet s/w eventually developing a massive Low Press that moves into the North Atlantic which forces the next two s/w in line to phase around 138H pulling Gulf Moisture into the H pressing South. Looks to be a good snow setup for the Mid Atl based on 138h GFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlet Pimpernel Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Leave it to the GFS to throw yet another strange and unexpected curve ball into an already bizarre ride for this event. I thought we had seen more or less every option...cutter to Chicago, KU style East Coast snowstorm, bowling ball nice hit for the mid-Atlantic area, complete whiff out to sea (and to our north)...and then this. Are we still calling it the Unicorn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll have to see if future runs build on the potential if there is any. Yeah its another possibility to toss into the mix. Verbatim its probably a r/s mix to snow. No value at this juncture to even discuss p-type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amped Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 GFS shows that with any amplification, one of those shortwaves in the flow can produce something. The only major storm to occur in this flat of a flow was 4/6/1982. The frontal zone was much further north in that setup and the shortwave was able to catch it.
