still slower than 0z run at 48h... surface low now along north carolina coastline... weaker than same timeframe from 0z... west of GFS

 

looking slightly west of 0z at 54h but again surface low not as deep

 

and bombing at 60h near del-mar-va... well west of GFS

 

66h sub 984mb low just off of NJ coast... southwest of 0z run to keep precip over us longer

ya, I'm a O/O. Got a nice gig goin. Home most weekends for a day, day an a half. I've seen ur posts, put 2-n-2 together. U pulln a bulk tanker?flour maybe? I'm home for a week, I'm in the hills of hummelstown,Hershey. Always colder here than in towns, more snow too. Kind of cool.

 

Actually, I hauled spring water (a nightmare in this extreme cold) until last Friday. I took this week off, then will be starting a regional gig with Paul Miller Trucking out of Spring Grove. Generally, my territory should be from Indiana to New Jersey and the Carolinas to Maine.

 

Anyway, like everyone else, hoping for good things from the Euro. Hoping it holds serve and even, perhaps, ticks west a bit for our True Central folks!

OK, question. I know I've asked this before, but never got a real good answer. Why do the models always seem to show what I have circled in red. An area of lower qpf that, no matter which direction the storm comes from, or which trajectory it takes, shows up near or over my location. I can't quite figure it out.

I wonder if that is due to a gap in airports in that region... that looks to be the cause to me

I can't say why in all cases but the reason for the lower totals on the euro run are because the low bombs out very far south and then occludes...during this process the dynamics are weakening as the WAA shuts off...thus the precip sheild will expand but weaken, then the low redevelops a second time east of New England, thus heavier precip totals pick back up again to our northeast.  We are stuck in between two stages of when the low is in a dynamic stage thus the lower precip output in our area.  Still I would take a 6-10" event even if south and north of us gets 10-18".

Thanks. I agree, 6-10 is nothing to sneeze at and is a good storm, but wow...it just seems like, one way or another, I/we are in the wrong location for a great event.
