Out to 22 on Tropicaltidbits. Still south and west of the 18z run.

I use instant weather. Out to 21 now. There will def be an earlier phase it looks like to me the way the n/s has dug and the southern stream is significantly more northwest of its 18z position.

You guys must be seeing something I'm not.  I typically just look at the HP to the North and how it ridges down east of the mountains.  So far, the pressure lines are a touch north of the 18z run.  Hopefully this is just a timing issue and the net result will be a colder push.

Not a timing issue unfortunately.  This strategy seems to work every time.

Lol a 1005 lp over the Albermarle Sound.  Weak sauce.  Why is it so insanely hard to get a storm to bomb just off the east coast of FL?  Why is that so impossible?

It did in Jan 2000. I've often wondered myself this same question. Like it has to pass obx, usually that's because of miller b crap.

I can  tell it's mid March looking at all that green in east TN going up the western escarpment, state line. 

Those guys in MA trashing nam within 24 hrs espeacilly in DC Metro gonna have a hard crash when reality sets in in 30 hrs.

I have to recondition myself back to 7 days ago before getting sucked back in to this week's events. Time for 8 months of the "Shetley Report" mowing, bugs, heat rash......

I will say the NAM seemed a bit wonky imo with that convective blob that infiltrates western FL. I am curious if it had trouble with that. It also had all the heaviest moisture congregate on the east side of the storm. You would think a better radar presentation would have been correct for a storm of this magnitude on the west side. Its like it has the deform band displaced too far west. Idk I guess we will see. Regardless a warm NAM is not good, as it is notorious for superiority in its low level thermals and being able to sniff that out.

 

EDIT: The other wonky thing about the NAM is there is absolutely no CCB to the storm is what I was referencing on the west side of the storm, even up into New England, as it is concentrated more so on the north and the east side of the storm. Doesn't make sense for a bombing storm.
