Snowman. Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 The winds are insane on this run. blizzard conditions during the day Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherCCB Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Seriously folks, if there is a single complaint about this run then I don't know what to say. An explosive progression like this typically has much higher mix, dryslot, and whatever concerns. But this particular solution is about as epic as you can ever draw on paper. Insanity Just unreal. Best run of our lifetimes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlaskaETC Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Trash the gfs over the euro all you want. It has barely wavered for 12+ runs in general besides wobbles. If it busts to "the king" then let the trashing continue for years. But you can't deny the consistency. I've never seem the gfs do this Pre upgrade Agreed...the GFS has been spitting out insane numbers since 3 days ago...unspeakable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCWeatherGuy Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 The 500 evolution is just model porn. It captures the SLP at pretty much the perfect time. Has a real Jan 1996 look to it. Can someone who has such skills do a side-by-side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitchnick Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Surface temps on gfs actually get to 34 Saturday afternoon at DCA & BWI. Only bad thing about the run. Tons has fallen and more to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmlwx Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 That would be... very bad for DC. Would most certainly utterly cripple the area. Just remember those are winds at 850mb - would be a bit lower at the surface. Still very strong winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nj2va Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 That's like what... a 4 contour bowling ball? O.o Also, we still don;t really know where the deform band is gonna set up obviously, but it seems like a good bet that it will be over our area and stay for quite a while. Yup, it's ridiculous (in a good way). Definitely bookmarked that image. Even if you tried to draw that up better, I don't think it would be possible. And totally agree on the banding. I would guess it sets up NW the cities in the favored spots. Still pretty speechless based on that run - and not even talking about the QPF output...moreso the 500 maps and SLP .

JonathanW Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Am I reading this right? Upwards of 80 mph gusts?EDIT: Ah, 850 mbar. Hope that doesn't translate to the surface. That would be... very bad for DC. Would most certainly utterly cripple the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seem the gfs do this Pre upgrade You know, it's all about perspective because to us down here in SW va, there has been a big shift. The SLP isn't in KY and it jumps much earlier like the Euro has...it's the difference between 12-18 and 3-6 of sleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarlet Pimpernel Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 The winds are insane on this run. blizzard conditions during the day Saturday. This has been in the back of my mind, though of course most of my focus was on the snow primarily up to this point. But if the winds are like what we've seen in the past many model runs, we certainly would be looking at serious blizzard conditions. ETA: I now see, and from reading the comments, that these are 850 mb winds. Ooops. But still, we'd be looking at some serious winds most likely even at the surface.

Bob Chill Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 You know, it's all about perspective because to us down here in SW va, there has been a big shift. The SLP isn't in KY and it jumps much earlier like the Euro has...it's the difference between 12-18 and 3-6 of sleet. True. The edges are always the most stressful. Been there plenty. But ground zero has been steadfast on the gfs within a fairly tight range. Quite uncommon.
