MillzPirate Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 really digging the s/w now.... if the Euro verifies a lot of people will never trust any other model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burgertime Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 The gfs out to 42 looks great. About the same as the Euro at that time. The northern stream is really digging and the southern stream looks healthy. We'll see if it digs pretty far south like the Euro. Yea looking really good now with that turn south.

Brick Tamland Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Heard that Eric Thomas with WBTV is calling for 1 inch to 2 inch accumulation down in Charlotte. Is that even worth discussing? A virtual non-event if his forecast verifies. Mods, I'll take this one. Please use the banter thread for posts like this. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weather Czar Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Yea looking really good now with that turn south. Yeah we want it to turn south so it can really tap the gulf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marion_NC_WX Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Heard that Eric Thomas with WBTV is calling for 1 inch to 2 inch accumulation down in Charlotte. Is that even worth discussing? A virtual non-event if his forecast verifies. Eric was going lock, stock and barrell with the 12z GFS. Even as late as their 7 pm show, I never heard any reference made to the 18Z GFS. I'm sure by the time he goes on air in about 7 or 8 minutes, he'll have a quick look at the 0z run. Eric is good at commenting on the differences if they are significant.

burgertime Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 To me it's starting to look more like the 00z NAM out to 57. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillzPirate Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 High over Canada seemed to slide in a little faster and be a little cooler than GFS depiction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burgertime Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 GFS looks like it's falling more in line with the NAM to me...but someone with more knowledge can chime in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Weather Monger Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 What I see thus far is that the pacific ridge is more amplified, but the shortwave is a little bit further north than the 18z gfs run. I think we will get a slightly earlier phase. That is exactly what I see as well. Here's hoping the stouter PNA ridge digs this baby on in.

DopplerWx Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Doesnt dig as sharp. DT says maybe its because the euro has a higher resolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burgertime Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 @78 a low pops off of NC and looks like it might be going to slam the MA....fffffuuuuuuuuu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DopplerWx Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Not liking the trends right now. Was the GFS faster like the nam or was it just a phasing problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UNCCmetgrad Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 GFS looks good until about 60hrs and then the northern stream crushes the southern shortwave. Broad weak surface low forms in southeastern GA as more northern energy dives into the trough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weather Czar Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Instead of phasing the into the southern stream ( like the Euro) the GFS captures it with the northern stream. could be the GFS northern stream bias coming into play here?

burgertime Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Thing to take away...even on the bad runs we still get a descent snow for us folks in WNC and CLT area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Campbell Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 So its not a speed problem like the nam? Its a problem of the northern stream being too strong again?

Lookout Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 GFS looks to warm for ATL-AHN with temps more supportive of snow up in far N GA. Yep, this run looks like total crap for us. Nam wasn't great either. We are getting within that time range where indeed we are running out of time. I know everyone keeps wanting to downplay these models in favor of the euro but think about this, the nam/gfs have these solutions because in part in as little as 48 hours they are showing more interaction with the northern stream. That's not a hell of a long ways away folks. There's still time but these 0z runs are a pretty big blow imo because they should have had better data ingestion of our southern disturbance.

FoothillsNC Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 GFS is too broad of a trough, and has another packet of strong energy coming in too late, because the intial low is now scooting across Ga or the coastal Carolinas. Its not a good trend at this stage of the game to see this. But we'll see if the Euro keeps the longwave trough much sharper and deeper, the GFS sure didn't.
