rduwx Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 keep it south and east until 72 hrs out and then let the nw trend do work. i love seeing it suppressed this far out. Or even 36 hours like this last storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowNiner Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 keep it south and east until 72 hrs out and then let the nw trend do work. i love seeing it suppressed this far out. Those ensembles look EXACTLY the way we want them at a week out. You factor in the certain NW trend and we've got a storm on our hands. The question as always though, will any cold air be left by mid next week? It was a nice surprise to get a bunch of sleet rather than freezing rain/rain yesterday. But I'm still hungry for some snow. Just not the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a nice surprise to get a bunch of sleet rather than freezing rain/rain yesterday. But I'm still hungry for some snow. Just not the same. usually when the models give coastal sc snow you know points clt east are in the money because it always comes nw. it being 6-7 days out probably means the models will lose it over the next few days but the overall pattern looks great for a shot at a big dog. i agree that the sleet storm was great, but i want 8" of powder.

griteater Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Yep, watching early next week like everyone else. Models are chaotic with how they want to create a storm (northern stream, southern stream, or both), but the storm track is draped across the south during this timeframe on the models, which would obviously be good if it's right.

The GFS/Euro looked pure northern stream to me, this has been a big suckfest with the southern stream this winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TropicalAnalystwx13 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Here's the ECMWF ensemble mean MSLP at day 7. It's a nice Miller A look. There are plenty of individual ensemble members on the east side of the mean low, so a northwest trend over the coming days would be nice. For my sake though, let's keep the trends small instead of jumping 300 miles like some storm did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Rain Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 It's hard to see why this won't trend NW, unless the ridge out west is progressive or sets up east of where it's been most of the season. Any concern with temps here? I don't see a good high pressure in a good spot, which is always a red flag for me. I do see a GL low, though, on the EPS mean.

griteater Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 The GFS/Euro looked pure northern stream to me, this has been a big suckfest with the southern stream this winter. Yes, but the previous Euro run brought out a southern system. Also, the CMC had significant southern stream moisture, but was farther north. That's why I said it seems chaotic. We need to see some consistency regarding how the storm will form before taking the next step...but yeah, the latest trends have been to more of a northern stream oriented system. One other note, this previous ice storm wouldn't have been nearly as moist without the moisture coming off of that baja low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Rain Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 How's the 12z for Tuesday? Not much chatter!? Piss poor. Cold and dry. Frontal zone activates off the coast and another big cold shot comes in. It sets up the next Sunday storm well, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrdaddyman Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 GFS has a big dog at 213 *WOOF* There's already no wiggle room with this storm for central NC.

rduwx Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Nada on the 12 cmc for Tuesday. The lakes low is a killer. Edit: 12z cmc does have the day 9 storm. Edit 2: 12z cmc is a major storm for most of the SE. Ala, Ga, SC and NC. Too bad it's day 9/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metwannabe Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Anyone care to chime in on what would keep the day 8-10 storm from cutting . No 50/50 no -NAO are we putting our hope into a well timed PV flex? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that ridge is further west or flatter it'll cut imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
