Just can't get up the energy to care too much about the NAM at range. All to often it is all over the board with the 500's from run to run which makes it a very unreliable model to follow at long leads. It has been spot on in my area last several storms tbh. Not sure re: overall pattern but has tended to lead the way irt to trends at range and thermals in the short term. Killing it lately. Maybe I am doing it a disservice and in fact it has gotten better. I pretty much quit following it at the longer leads years ago. I am intrigued with the 3k though. Think that has done a fairly good job so far this winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I refer to HERE I mean the DC/Balt corridor. And yes the trends are putting them into the game and possibly you as well. We are fighting climo at this point so naturally northern/western areas will have the advantage in what looks to be such a marginal setup. Just can't be helped.

MD Snow Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 18z pretty similar to 12z. Seems to have taken a step back at h5. Pretty similar results at the surface though. Let's see what the GEFS show us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger. 18z looks good there as it was in the last 4 runs. Not so much here. You’re correct it can’t be helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much a sideways run but the coastal getting going just off of obx is consistent. The primary is too far north to "fill the gap" overhead. It's tantalizingly close though. If the primary was 75-100 miles south it would have been a decent hit. These types of storms traditionally miss us but they work sometimes too. We probably have better chances late season for quicker development. We're outside looking in but still have to wait 24-48 hours before writing it off or getting excited.

Yes. That is a loaded pattern on GFS. But we are relying on regular cold. Need extra cold. But no reason to fret the surface now. Pattern is loaded that’s evident.

showmethesnow Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Have to love the potential that is shown at 500's leading into our day 9 storm on the 18Z gfs. Slightly off but very close to something big just as the 12z Euro was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is that we need a more negative tilt to the trough. Is that right? By the time this storm really gets going, it's headed OTS.

Chris78 Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Gotta be some good hits on the GEFS for the 12th. Coastal low signature on the precip maps and looks like it's cold enough. Atleast on the mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It Wouldn't take a big adjustment. It we get a good h5 track I would take my chances. It's just a shame we didn't get this pattern 2 or 3 weeks ago.

If we see that going neutral and then neg tilt a little sooner we get a better passage of the closed low. eta: Thought I would also add it would aid in a quicker capture of the surface low producing a track west of what we are currently seeing.

Coastal low signature on the precip maps and looks like it's cold enough. Atleast on the mean. Not feeling the 12th it seems like every Solution on every model is warm We need it to be phased and amplified. A disconnected gobbledygook like the 18z op won't do it. Need a good h5 pass. Need the surface and h5 to by synced so there is a healthy ccb and it goes over us. Something that would have been 4-8" during the winter from multiple periods of moderate snow won't work now. We need a stone cold assassin storm that drops .75 qpf in a 6 hour thump. That's the bad. The good is this setup has that potential. It's there. Just need the parts to come together.

osfan24 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Obviously none of these are the actual final solutions, but CMC is really only good for Baltimore and north and even then those numbers are at 10:1 and probably way too high, and a slight shift north and everyone south of PA would get shut out. Then again, a slight shift south would put is in the goods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
