Haven't talked to him today.. He doesn't seem too excited since he hasn't emailed me or anything..

Hmm, that is a little concerning. You can always tell when he is in full weenie mode, with the hand movements that are crisp and the tonal inflection, lol. You know....

 

Obviously, the door is still open of course.....

Yes, the "local" uncle Paul in SWCT.....of course your thoughts are always valued and appreciated.

Ah. Thank you. I Don't think the models are settled on the exact pulse or retrogragression of the PV . 50 miles in numerical modeling 3 days out is still inside the cone.

So I'm not excited to b in the bullseye nor would I be leaping out of a window if I was on the fringe . The spread is tighter but all you need is a little wiggle room

I know it sounds like bs reasoning but I have never seen carbon copy runs no matter what storm I've followed

Worst sign with this storm is upton calling for heavy accumulations Monday, you never see that, and this far out they usually are wrong

Where does it say that? As of 2pm this is what I see.

CURRENT TRENDS ARE FAVOR LESS PHASING...BUT ARE UNCLEAR ABOUT THE

STRENGTH OF THE HIGH. TAKING THESE TRENDS...THERE IS THE POTENTIAL

THAT WE COULD SEE MULTIPLE WAVES OF LOW PRESSURE TRACK TO OUR SE

INSTEAD OF ONE COHERENT STRONGER STORM. THE FIRST LOW SHOULD TRACK

NEAR THE BENCH MARK MONDAY MORNING...AND THE SECOND WELL TO THE

SOUTHEAST OF THE BENCH MARK LATE MONDAY...WITH A THIRD LOW TRACKING

EVEN FARTHER TO THE SE MONDAY NIGHT. BASED ON THIS...STILL EXPECT

SNOW TO DEVELOP FROM SW TO NE SUNDAY EVENING...AND WITH THE LOW

TRACKING FARTHER TO THE SE MONDAY NIGHT...NOW EXPECT SNOW TO END

FROM NW TO SE FAIRLY EARLY MONDAY EVENING. GIVEN THAT THE SOLUTION

IS NOW FAVORING MULTIPLE WEAKER LOWS...VICE ONE MAIN LOW...SHOULD

NOT DRAW AS MOISTURE AS A WHOLE INTO THE REGION. BASED ON

THIS...HAVE REDUCED THE AMOUNT OF PRECIPITATION

EXPECTED...ESPECIALLY ACROSS NORTHERN ZONES. SEE THE HYDRO SECTION

OF THE AFD FOR DETAILS.

ONE THING THE FARTHER OFFSHORE TRACK FOR THE LOWS DOES

THOUGH...COUPLED WITH THE EXTENSION OF THE ARCTIC HIGH BUILDING IN

TO THE N...IS THAT ANY LOW LEVEL WARM AIR WILL STAY TO OUR

SOUTH...SO THE AREA SHOULD ONLY EXPERIENCE ALL SNOW. THE STRENGTH OF

THE HIGH WILL ULTIMATELY DETERMINE HOW COLD IT GETS...BUT FOR NOW

WOULD EXPECT MORE OF A FLUFFY SNOW THAN A WET SNOW...ESPECIALLY

ACROSS THE INTERIOR. SO THE HIGHER SNOW RATIOS ACROSS THE N COULD

VERY WELL OFFSET THE LOWER QPF.

AS A RESULT...THERE IS CURRENTLY NO REASON TO DEPART FROM PREVIOUS

FORECAST OF AT LEAST 8 INCHES OF SNOW ACROSS THE TRI-STATE FROM

SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY NIGHT. HOWEVER...IF THE TREND CONTINUES

TOWARDS A MORE SUPPRESSED TO THE S SOLUTION...THEN LOWER AMOUNTS ARE

POSSIBLE...IT IS STILL CONCEIVABLE THAT THE ENTIRE REGION COULD END

UP GETTING NO SNOW AT ALL - THOUGH HIGHLY UNLIKELY. ANOTHER

POSSIBILITY THAT WOULD LOWER SNOW AMOUNTS OVER SOUTHERN ZONES IS

THAT A WEAKER HIGH BUILDS TO THE N THAN CURRENTLY EXPECTED...THIS

WOULD ALLOW FOR A WINTRY MIX OVER SOUTHERN ZONES...REDUCING AMOUNTS

THERE. THIS ALSO APPEARS UNLIKELY AT THIS TIME. ANOTHER SOLUTION

STILL POSSIBLE IS THAT THERE IS MORE PHASING THAN CURRENTLY

FORECAST...THIS WOULD BRING THE LOWS...OR MORE LIKELY A SINGLE LOW

TRACKING CLOSER TO THE BENCH MARK...THIS WOULD INCREASE QPF AND

SNOWFALL...BUT COULD ALSO BRING THE LOW LEVEL WARM TONGUE OVER

SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA...DEPENDING ON THE STRENGTH OF THE

HIGH. THIS IS A MORE REALISTIC POSSIBILITY.

I do like Uptons discussion just saying their point and click forecast and HWO earlier is bad karma indicating 8"+ usually they start low and go higher

they probably could have left out the "8" inch number and just went with the potential for a "warning criteria" storm. Basically saying he same thing but leaving out specific accumulation numbers for folks to get hung up on

They are based off the out to lunch NAM and other hi-res models. They shouldn't be regarded seriously at this point, if ever.

That is incorrect. The SREF is NOT based off the NAM. And since the SREF upgrade in 2012 it has been significantly more reliable.

 

From SPC: "The SPC Short-Range Ensemble Forecast (SREF) is constructed by post-processing all 21 members of the NCEP SREF plus the 3-hour time lagged, operational WRF-NAM (for a total of 22 members) each 6 hours (03, 09, 15, and 21 UTC)."
