Noise at this range probably but GFS really cut totals. Biggest takeaway this run is the Western slp trend finally stopped. The qpf noise is probably more a function of the GFS coming in line aloft with other guidance like the Euro more than anything else and adjusting features at the surface. I'm willing to bet totals spike again at either 0z or at 6z. Still, 8-12" is nothing to sneeze at for SE PA in mid-March.

From what I have been reading from the MA forum is that the GFS is trending towards the Euro solution.

This may benefit the MA forum more so than us up here, but i'll take it.

Plenty of time to nudge east, for become more intense therefore drawing in colder air moving the r/s line east even if the slp isn't east.

I'm looking for a day off and this will do it. 

I want January 2016 wind too

Or it was tougher trying to figure out what was left over from today's snow.   This is the first run completely outside today's event.

Nah, I always use the 24 hour total snowfall maps to specifically avoid seeing possible totals from other events. Storm was hauling arse this run. Again though, I think this might just be noise as the GFS transitions towards the Euro.

I was trying to figure out if this was a Miller A or Miller B storm and thought it was more like a hybrid of the two. 

Sure enough psuhoffman and bob chill both agreed, and dryslotting isn't such an issue......yet.

Wait til tonight's gfs run to see if it falls in line with the euro, assuming the euro holds serve.

I did say to check out the nyc forum for humor and did they deliver.

"If I was the owner of this board, I would bring in grief counselors since we haven't had a 12" snowfall in the warmest winter to date".....

I wouldn't worry too much about the drop in qpf on the GFS. If other guidance tonight and tomorrow AM begin to speed this thing up and we see significant qpf drops across the board, then we can say its a real trend. For now, biggest takeaway is track is off the coast rather than inland over the Western DE/MD border.

And rightfully so. Very tricky. Especially if this ticks west. Not much room on right goal post if you believe GFS.

Cant blame them, their "backyard" is quite large.  Getting it right for everyone is impossible.

Certainly...but more than normal..not even talking about it? Hell, Glenn doesn't even give a forecast any longer. He'll say "look at the bottom of the screen". WTF?

I wonder if their feeling the impact of social media weather outlets, most if not all are very good and update more frequently.

Think of the payroll that the their staff must be when it's possible it isn't in demand as much anymore.

Total QPF line shows 2.5" cutting through central SEPA. The low is so close it's over south jersey yet 10 miles NW of I95 stays snow, outrageous wouldn't think that was possible. 

 

yea that's impressive. Crazy gradient with it as well

0z GFS is rain for basically everyone I-95 on SE and even interior areas don't get much.  The track is much further inland.  If the Euro caves I think we're in trouble.


Huh? GFS is widespread 16-20"+ SE PA to the Delaware River with hardly any mixing except right on I95 *maybe* verbatim. S and E drops off quickly. Otherwise epic run. Models moving towards euro. CMC came west and coming in line now too.

I think between the dynamics of the storm bombing and actually having a good airmass in place to start keeps the r/s line at bay while the thermal levels begin collapsing s and e toward the slp center.
