Not gonna lie...getting pretty excited about this...but i have a pit because it's still really far away and history hasn't always been kind. Anyway...weeks like this are way more fun than what this winter has been so far.

It doesn't help that most of us are off work today :) Model runs from day to night to day to night.

We used physics to develop a bomb that re shaped the human race and ended wars, sent a man to the moon, and can watch people eat their breakfast from satellites 8000 miles away. But you're telling me we can't tell if snowflakes will fall in 3.5 days because a vort is a little ways off the west coast?

What a time to be alive.

So true. But I got my eye on that bugger. Superstitious lot we are.

i do hope that people realize the SW in question is still way out in the pacific... yet to come ashore.... yet to be sampled... 

Lots of observations available out over the Pacific:

 

WPAC AMVs: http://tropic.ssec.wisc.edu/real-time/windmain.php?&basin=westpac&sat=wgms∏=wvir&zoom=&time=

EPAC AMVs: http://tropic.ssec.wisc.edu/real-time/windmain.php?&basin=eastpac&sat=wg9∏=wvir&zoom=&time=

GPS RO data: http://stream.ecmwf.int/data/atls15/data/data01/scratch/ps2png-atls15-95e2cf679cd58ee9b4db4dd119a05a8d-s6KcUG.png

 

And all of the MW and IR radiances from polar orbiters.  All of that data is assimilated into operational NWP models....

Thank you for the links.

oh for **** sakes, we all had rough times in our past, grow up. its a message board. if the owner of said board is telling you not to post a map, then you shut up and listen. if you dont like it, then go elsewhere. its that simple.

That wasn't my point..

Too much sampling can actually be a bad thing.

 

For instance, I am not allowed back inside or within 50 feet of certain CostCo stores.

there's so much data in the models already though. still think this is overrated.

It's happened twice today. Not including Mappy's joke.

Plenty of mets say it. More data is good in general I think but tons of obs plus tons more satellite data etc. may be cases where a shortwave being fully sampled changed something major but seems limited if so. Plus disaggregating from simply getting better forecasts in closing...
