I thought it was very light like the euro. Hopefully the 18z wasn't a blip toward the euro, hopefully they both meet in the middle....and I get 6 inches of snow..

BillT Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 what i see now on the water vapor loop is a broad area of circulation near the coasts of washington and oregon spinning off impulses from it sw but not really moving.....hasnt really moved since yesterday only seems to expand and moved slightly west........

Expand The Euro is probably closest to the NavGEM idea right now. In general, when beyond 96 hours, whatever model is closest to the NavGEM is usually wrong. Inside of 96 or so you can start looking at the NavGEM to gain a sense if other models are too progressive or amped. In this event for example, nobody in GA or SC wants to see the NavGEM tomorrow night or Wednesday morning look like the GFS now, because that would likely mean this thing is coming north.

SN_Lover Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Hopefully we get a alignment to one solution in the next few runs or days. This is the spread in the 500mb heights at 120 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the 18z wasn't a blip toward the euro, hopefully they both meet in the middle....and I get 6 inches of snow..What I liked most about it was how it cleared the northern stream and put the damming high in place at hr 120 and has some stream separation, just not as sharp with the PAC wave as GFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orangeburgwx Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Man does it feel good to be back here (sorry for the long absence but I have had a lot of personal stuff going on (all good for a change ))) and this is a good way to bring in 2017. I am hoping for either EC, E3, E15, or E19 to shut my granddad up since he has been whining about not having snow yet this winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burrel2 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 18z Arpege looks good to me at 60hrs(that's as far out as it goes). Lots of stream separation and our s/w is still in tact. The Euro/CMC have already flattened it out at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand There's three things that are sure in life: 1. Death 2. Taxes 3. Models showing ridiculously cold overnight lows due to snowcover which never verify, Bottom line is that it may get cold after the possible storm, but I wouldn't bet on it being as cold as the GFS is showing.

Cold Rain Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 When will the wave in question be properly sampled and incorporated? 0z Wed?

We saw a storm a few winters ago that forecasts did a complete 180 once the responsible shortwave came ashore. The December 2010 event was also impacted by a shortwave that wasn't sampled well over far north Canada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
