Mobile, cannot get to model run, does it make it north of DC toward Baltimore?

I don't think this 18z GFS run is that surprising given the GEFS have generally been north of the southern solutions.  Strange that we had a favorable turn of events on the OP run inside of 100 hours though given our track record this winter. ;)

 

 

I wish we had detailed ukie 500 vort panels. I'm curious to how it is coming up with its solution. Precip/pressure panels look like it leaves the baja energy behind. Must be because it sees the lead vort being amped up.

If it goes sub zero and we get less than two inches I am killing myself

I don't think I'd predict subzero for DC until it was 3 at midnight. Haven't looked but can only assume it's the snow cover problem.

Pretty good run. Too bad it's 18z! ;)

 

 

I'm just making fun of people who tossed 18z yday and will hug it today..

 

 

18z has been leading the shifts lately. 0z usually looks similar overall. As soon as I saw the baja energy get absorbed I got a little excited. Only way to knock the confluence is a stronger storm. Might be a west track at 0z.

 

I know that Ian was kidding, but I think it was das (and if not, then maybe Chris with the red tag) that said the 18z gfs was actually scoring the best.

 

And I'm just saying and not suggesting that this is right.

This storm is going to rely on two things (IMO)....1) Does/How fast that baja energy phases 2) Once/If it does, how long does it take for the trough to go from positive to neutral.

On the 18z run you can see the trough go from positive to neutral between 90 & 102 hours

I honestly think you guys have had it worse than us this year... You all were real close and it was the euro for Christ sake... In its deadly zone... The bust was so bad DT left the board

I think you're right.  Looking at the Meteocentre 500 panels through 72, I don't see any piece of the baja energy coming out and phasing with the NS sort.

Not what anyone wants to hear, but we may have even trended north too early.

 

The trend was caused by a stronger storm. A weak storm wouldn't be able to turn the corner in time with h5 looking like that. 

 

I think there's a limit to how far nw it could possibly go and I think that's overhead right now. I posted earlier that I thought the goal posts for the track was overhead to a near miss off of obx. Near miss meaning close whiff that would make me sick. Overhead would be snow to rain. I'm good with that.

I don't think it really matters at this range.. It's wrong you just hope it's minimally wrong I guess.

I was just gonna say ...

Nice N/NW trend, but I hope we're not talking about a rainstorm come Sunday :)

someone posted the stats dude...this ain't coming out of my ass lol

Maybe it is but doesn't change the fact everyone wanted to punt it yesterday because it was 18z and now it's the opposite. Should at least try to pretend to be an honest broker.

nobody punted it last night. There was a severe panic attack by the board. you might be confusing The 84 hour nam

...and then rub it in their face afterward by bringing it up

I am trying to hold my tongue, lol. ;-)

Still, the odds that THIS is the final solution are close to nil, and no one should be celebrating or moaning yet. We could still whiff easily, or even get a slightly better solution. I suspect we are a good 48 hours away from really narrowing the envelope down to where we can start to be more definitive.
