Euro has been showing a storm this time, GGEM too, even hints of something from the GFS.  Latest Euro and GGEM are a bit warm/northwest, though.

 

Posted it in other threads, but Ray notice the difference in speed between the 00z/12z EURO with the wave coming on shore (that eventually spawns this threat)...the 12z was def. faster and this didn't allow the HP to form in time for us.

I'm not buying it...yet. The euro and ggem have led us down this road before.

 

Ralph, obviously no one is "buying it" at this range. Lighten up brotha. It's the last feasible big threat of the year. It is our hobby, track it! Check out Tip's thread in the NE forum, fun read. Guess what the #1 analog showing up for the EURO is? 3/13/93 .

trust me I'll be tracking it. You should know me better :-)

Not being negative but we pretty much need a night time event at this point for accumulation  if anything happens....unless low clouds/heavy precip and temps in the 20s/low 30s during the day. There's a reason why the avg temp is jumping a degree every two/three days or so. Sun is brutal once mid March comes around....easily could have a tan/burn by early-mid April. Just want to jump into 2nd place all-time snow totals...don't care how it happens. A+ winter either way though...

Ray, I think you may have jinxed the storm now since you started the thread. If you want to delete it ill pm katodog and have him/her start it. What do you think?

Nuh uh. If Ray started it then its the real deal! He is generally ultra weather conservative. This is good.

Pretty pointless to look at exact details of model runs right now - wait until at least Sunday to do that. All that matters is that the storm stays on the models.

Right-O. Why do I have the feeling that this system in the end will be some non phased sheared out mess? Probably better for snow down this way. Actually the 6z gfs isn't too bad. The trend I'm liking on the gfs is for the storm to hit at night. That's always a plus in mid March.

especially after we lose that hour of darkness to daylight savings time.

Little amatuer-ish discussion! lol....

 

Going into the 12z runs, here is what I hope to see happen. This is last night's 00z EURO run @ 120 hours. There are 3 key components. We have the main shortwave that crashes into the Western coast and migrates eastward represented by the DIAMOND. We have the polar jet shortwave that is our cold air deliverer represented by the SQUARE. We also have another player which is the leftover energy from the weekend system represented by the CIRCLE.

 

The square is very important. There are a few options how this could play out, but the BEST solution for us would be if the square energy races out ahead of the incoming storms, because behind this shortwave is where the HP builds in. If it races out ahead we'd get good confluence which could yield a snowier outcome for us.

 

The GFS has been splitting the DIAMOND shortwave into 2 separate pieces of energy. It also isn't showing the interaction between the CIRCLE & DIAMOND pieces of energy which the EURO does. 

 

When viewing the 12z data, focus on these 3 pieces of energy to see their timing, strength, and track.
