just a reminder folks stay on model disco only

http://www.americanwx.com/bb/index.php?/forum-20/announcement-10-storm-mode-members-please-read/

Members,

Due to the high activity with the pending event, AmericanWx is entering in what is called Storm mode. Additional temporary moderators are added and the normal warn and suspend protocols are removed. Moderators will now have the power to automatically remove your posts and or suspend you without warning. Moderators will create ONE thread that you may mix banter and weather in. KEEP ALL BANTER in this thread ONLY. Please see below the new policies/rules that are put into affect under Storm Mode:

1. Cross thread trolling will not be permitted on the weather side. If you are in a region other than your own with the sole purpose of starting trouble, you will be suspended without question.

2. Model threads will be cleared of unrelated discussion, personal attacks, and analysis without any basis. Even the most basic and rudimentary analysis would be appreciated.

3. In model threads, repetitive questions such as “how much for…..” etc will be deleted.

4. Please respect the professionals that post here. They will make forecasts as they are comfortable but continued pestering or badgering of them with "How much for...?" will result in the quickest exit from this board. We will not be tolerant of abusive or trolling behavior.

5. If you post a forecast, please have some sound reasoning behind it. IMBY forecasts also known as wishcasts will likely end up in OT or deleted.

6. DO NOT link threads that have nothing to do with weather or weather forecasting from any other board. Do not link threads from other boards that contain cross feuding or dealing with personal issues.

Storm Mode

1 offense, warn, 5 posts per day limit to be removed AFTER event.

2nd offense, suspension for duration of event or permanent ban

Surface low positions don't matter 84 hours on the NAM. What matters is the H5 setup. The surface low will sometimes be better when H5 is worse, or worse when H5 is better. Pretty much the only use of surface depictions at this point in time is 120 hours out, to know what's going on at H5 and matching it up with the surface so good/bad trends can be identified.

Looks like the polar vortex is further north (which could delay the phase) and the "50/50 low" is further south (which would supply more cold air and push the track a bit south) on the 0z NAM compared to the 18z run. I think this run trends toward the recent GFS runs.

Actually, it's interesting just how differently the GFS and the NAM are treating the Atlantic low already at the 30 hr mark. I suspect that creates a major knock on effect down the line - with the NAM supporting a much more dynamic solution down the line, and the GFS continuing to suppress the system. But we shall see...!

0z 84 HR NAM... just to see GENERAL ideas... Note the MONSTER 50/50 well south of New foundland

this is one of the reason why this low on the recent Models is trending south

( useless 18z GFS notwithstanding)

THAT huge 500 low is a BIIIG 50/50 but usally these are further North than this one... N or over Newfoundland

this one is well south

Sounds familiar.

The 00z GFS at 48 hours looks nearly identical to the 00z Euro at 72 hours from last night....closed 552 dm low over southern California.

It is now no longer different with the 50-50 low but the main s/w is further south and stronger at 60
