If so, then if you move the axis of heavy snow about 100 miles east, it actually wasn't far off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluewave Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 The storm just had to phase a little quicker =( i can't believe they put that on tv And considering that the Euro never wavered on the eastern sections getting the goods from 120 hrs out. Wasn't the RPM model shown from the "Nemo" storm in February 2013? If so, then if you move the axis of heavy snow about 100 miles east, it actually wasn't far off. As is ofter the case, phases this close to the area can be just a little late for NYC and west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allgame830 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 EVERYONE SHOULD CALM DOWN THERE IS COLDER GUIDANCE 1 OP RUN DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A FORECAST . Agreed.... threat is on ALL of them models... just need to figure out track which obviously is not going to happen 5 days out. Another "potential" here which is great.. KEEP THE HITS COMING!!

Thankfully, I don't have to put out forecasts for a living... I feel for those that do! I guess the important thing is that the current generation of models let us know that there would be a disruptive winter storm both yesterday and last week. Missing an exact snowfall total isn't the biggest deal in the world when you consider how much models are often off with rainfall amounts throughout the year but no one notices. When I was growing up it was typical for the older models to completely miss snowstorms by forecasting all rain or forecast big snows and nothing happened. So I think people can just have unrealistic expectations of what the technology can do today as far as pinpoint winter storm forecasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superstorm93 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 The constant bitching between Yanksfan and ag3 needs to stop...for good. No one cares where the 850c line is 6 days out. Also, I have no idea why people can't get it into their heads that the paid European maps are not supposed to be posted here under any circumstances. Dr. Maue is aware of the issue and will be cracking down on these posters soon. So if you like your WxBell subscription, I would probably stop.

Doorman Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 How can we improve predictions? Some types of jet-stream fluctuations are not well predicted by NWS models, particularly those related to week-to-week changes in the tropical atmosphere. Better understanding of the processes in the tropical atmosphere that lead to jet-stream variations is needed so that we can improve the ability of forecast models to predict them. Determining the risk of an extreme event requires detailed knowledge of all the uncertainties in the model forecast. Improving our estimates of these uncertainties results directly in more accurate and reliable warnings. Both of these are active areas of ESRL research. One source of uncertainty is the observational information used to start a forecast model, another is in the physics of the models themselves. For example, our current global observing system does not monitor water vapor transport, which means that atmospheric rivers may appear in the models with incorrect amount of water vapor, strength of wind, or both. Similarly, the physical representation of atmospheric rivers in the global models may be inadequate due to spatial resolution limitations. http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/research/themes/climateweather/ http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/psd/forecasts/reforecast2/analogs/index.html http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/psd/forecasts/reforecast2/analogs/images/prob.gt.90thpctile_144to168hrs_2015020300.png http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/psd/forecasts/reforecast2/analogs/images/ensmean_144to168hrs_2015020300.png the skinny...it snows in the metro Feb 9-10th but hey WTFDIK I just post free maps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
