WinterWxLuvr Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Para euro is similar to the op with snow during the transfer and has the same mini jack just south of DC. Looks like a 10" bullseye with dc getting 5-6. Baltimore 2". Ji berg around 6-7. Euro ops really like the mini bullseye to the west of the low. Euro ens means pop a low south of DC and off the coast. It's a messy situation that is trending away from any a big storm but right now we aren't in a terrible spot to pick up something. Post some of those random nameless maps that nobody knows where they came from. I can't decipher all that stuff you wrote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowfan Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 QPF totals on para euro: DCA: .7 BWI: .3 Winchester: .6 Fredericksburg: .6 Frederick: .6 Baltimore north to Southern PA from 83 East is .2 or less. Jackpot Zone appears to be Woodbridge to Stafford west to Opal/Warrenton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea the NAM was good with the blizzard but thats simply because it trended more amped and the NAM is almost always over amped so it probably just got lucky kinda like the CRAS did that one time. I wouldnt start using it as a go to model or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psuhoffman Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 its a model, to be considered, have read here how its mocked, like a human, geez its a mesoscale mathematical tool, nothin else Its worth a glance and once in a blue moon it can be correct, it scored a coup several years go too, but its wildly inconsistent, usually way over amped with developing systems, and prone to major issues with overdoing convection in the short term that throws it way off by the time you get out to 84 hours. These issues have been observed over many years and I am unaware of any major fixes done to it recently that would make me think its success 2 weeks ago is a sign of the models improvement rather then just getting lucky.

I was thinking maybe it works on truly amped systems! So it can get those better than little events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted February 4, 2016 Author Share Posted February 4, 2016 GFS coming in with a little more dig with the pac shortwave early in the run. Probably a good sign and something to watch over the next day as it comes ashore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no problem Mitch mentioning it. Just another observation where it is at a certain point prior to an event. And yah we all know it is the NAM.

They have made substantial improvements to the physics and DA over the few years. Having said that, I almost never pay attention to the 12km parent and only look at the 4km nest (which admittedly did not do great with the northern precip for the blizzard).

Bob Chill Posted February 4, 2016 Author Share Posted February 4, 2016 Looking at 500's it almost looks like the GFS is tempted to make that first low a player for us. It's actually further east than 6z which is good. Pac wave is more amplified and digging deeper than 6z as well. Good trends but still a messed up setup big things to happen. I just want something to happen...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psuhoffman Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Looking at 500's it almost looks like the GFS is tempted to make that first low a player for us. ehh its tempting to get sucked into that first low thing, I was for a minute yesterday, but looking at how much spacing there is between that and the northern branch, I just can't see how it can possibly phase enough to come up and really affect our area. The only thing that wave can do is run interference with a low being able to organize with the trough behind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SomeguyfromTakomaPark Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Looks like a good swath of precip at 108 but lower levels seem to be an issue again as Mitch pointed out for 6z. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
