3/17-3/18 Storm Threat Discussion


Zelocita Weather

Recommended Posts

I have to believe the GFS is lost at this point, and the Euro is suffering from its SW bias here of holding back energy, while overdeveloping mid-level and upper-level cyclones.

 

While I'm very skeptical of the NAM and SREF at the end of their range, we can expect them to have a decent handle now on the shortwave/Longwave interaction at around hr 50, where the main model to model discrepencies begin.

The rest of the 12z today and 0z tonight will hopefully shed some light. If we see the energy consolidated and heading east on more guidance, the likelihood of a significant event goes up by a lot I think. That's a nasty cold air mass for this all to run into.

Upton is nowhere near as enthused as som ei nhere. They are NOT buying the CMC solution @ all . GFS & Euro is their call with the storm being suppressed:

RACK. 00Z GFS AND 00Z ECMWF KEEP THE STRONG
HIGH OVER THE AREA...AND THE LOW WILL PASS SOUTH OF THE AREA SUNDAY
NIGHT AND MONDAY. 00Z CMC HAS THE HIGH MUCH FARTHER NORTH...SO THE
LOW IS ABLE TO LIFT PRECIP INTO THE REGION DURING THIS TIME...MUCH
OF IT IN THE FORM OF SNOW. CMC KEEPS THE PRIMARY LOW OFFSHORE...AND
THEN A SECONDARY LOW WILL FOLLOW BEHIND IT ON TUESDAY. THIS SOLUTION
IS AN OUTLIER

Yes I've known you since my inaugural days on Eastern, hence that post. Smiley wasn't there when I posted lol.

also co - ran the mirc chatroom #easternuswx and frequented ne.weather newsgroup where on both I was SteveB....not sure if u r familiar with those?

In any event I expect the gfs to take another baby step at h5 next run. At 6z it didn't zip that lead sw east as fast as0z. That is one of the keys in getting this storm to happen imo in addition to having the whole lobe of consolidated energy coming out at the same time.

Cant blame them. Though signs are pointing to a GGEM outcome by the NAM we're still far from a certain outcome. If GFS and especially EURO today take a step towards the GGEM they'll be changing they're tune. Good call for now

I've only been around weather communities since joining EUSWX in December of 2007, so no, I'm not. But ah well, off-topic. Back to the storm.

 

I think the 12z GFS would hold serve. I'd be a lot more enthusiastic if the ECM didn't jump to it last night.
