Certainly interesting, 997mb low in the areas where the Euro EPS was sniffing out a few stronger ensemble members....

I fully believe that the Euro and GFS will have a few ensembles that show big dogs if either of them have the low close to that spot. The 12z runs are going to make everyone hold their breath in excitement lol

Here alot of praise for the RGEM. Maybe Grit has a idea how good it does 48 hrs out. But thats a pretty hefty LP in perfect spot for NC, espeacilly if it exits between Jax and Savannah

In my opinion the RGEM does well with except with temps. The last few years it's had a cold bias . I know it's busted twice in the last year for my area with temps 24 hours out

Snowgoose said yesterday that the RGEM tended to be too amped up at the end of the run.  I guess many of the hi-res models like it and the NAM have the same issue.  It's very accurate around 24hrs.

I am more inclined to punt with 4th and 8 at midfield, than go for it with this setup.  What is telling is the structure of the vort after LA and along the NE Gulf.  Rather than sharpening and taking on a more neg tilt, the northern stream crashes over the top holding the axis back.  The result is a waning surface reflection coming out of the northern Gulf, as opposed to a deepening system.  The energy(s) in question should be fully sampled with the 12z runs today.  If there was margin for this to trend back to at best a nuisance type deal, I would expect to see some spread in the ensembles as they are supposed to account for minor variations in the initial conditions as T is stepped.

Yea I figure now if someone can get an inch out of this system it's a win. One thing that is always a big warning sign is when there is little moisture over the east side of Texas. Our good storms always blow up around there then start trucking east. This one gets going around Tampa Bay.

That makes sense why the qpf is so clustered toward the center. I always thought its best to have the ns come in behind the ss and catch it for a phase and give the neg tilt to the trough. What your saying is the ns comes down on top almost in front to a dgree and it kinda rolls over as oppossed to pivoting the lp at capture and kicking the trough negative.

No one really thought they were gonna get 3-4" out of this anyway did they with the setup? That never was even being shown in the first place, if memory serves me correctly. Anyway I still think most around NW NC, N GA, upstate will see atleast a period of flurries or even a few snow showers. No one could really expect to see much more than that out of this. So we all should take this minor event be happy with what we see and move on to the next one.
