I feel much better with the GFS looking like it does than if it looked like the euro or might be looking at nam victory laps.

I don't think you were totally kidding with the convective feedback post. With the evolution at h5 and 850/slp track I'm pretty confident that the precip shield would verify much further nw. Hp is retreating and we don't have suppressive confluence stacked up above us.

In all fairness .75 would probably be at least 8 inches. Thats a pretty big storm.

Certainly...we'd all be pleased with that.

 

Shooting for 12.7" though. That's a top-10 storm, which hasn't happened since 1983 (the 96 total was botched).

 

I'm pleased with the current spread. I'll always take SE of us over bullseye. CMC is the ideal solution for central VA.

I'm not entirely.. the low is closer than last run. We should get more precip.  The sfc hasn't been matching its mid levels either.. tho the vort is a bit south of perfect still.

Yes, vort isnt perfect on the run but I would still expect .25+ in our area. I expected a more consolidated low as well. Gfs is kinda stuck on the dual low to start and then a big bag of wtf as it pulls together.

I'm not upset with the run. 1" of qpf with an inch of snow followed by 33 and rain would have made me much angrier

Given last night's Euro run looked pretty crappy for me and east I'll take breathing room.  Euro/GFS blend gives me snow which is good enough for now. GFS still kinda lonely with the weakest/flattest solution.  It could happen.. but I wouldn't bet on it right now.

It almost seems like the euro grabbed this storm and didn't let go 3 weeks ago. It's been super steady and I refused to believe it was even possible when it first picked it up. Ensemble members and mean improved from 0z to 12z today. To me, that was an important clue.

The op close track isn't fun to look at but unfortunately it can easily happen. I agree with the gfs breathing room being a net+ but it still makes me mad to look at. Lol

I'll check the members in an hour. I'm willing to bet there will some more members joining the party. 18z only had 3 or so good looks overall.
