WesternFringe Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 At 90, the 18Z FV3 has the low in southern GA rather than around Tampa like its last 2 runs. Precip shield is further north by a few counties as well. 12Z vs 18Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ji Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 18z NAVGEM went way north again to be in the same place it was last night at 00z after a severe south trend at 12z 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just have to luck into it on Sunday/Monday as it seems we just bounce back and forth between minor hit and nothing. Hopefully the last run before the storm is a miss....should bode well.

BristowWx Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 FV3 will not deliver this run. Starting to see where this is headed with the better solutions being stronger low pressure. Tough pill to swallow but just might not be our event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minor hit would be fine. This seems like all or nothing. Virga will be solid I think and then it will just collapse on itself toward the warning area.

You guys sound like a bunch of bitter Redskins fans. The synoptic elements for the storm are not! So we can start looking at items that will impact Day 4 by Day 2/3.. so we are getting close to shutting the window! We can still be wrong, but it will have to be something new the models have been missing consistently for MANY MANY model runs now.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nj2va Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 18z Euro similar to 12z. Confluence is a touch stronger than 12z but sharper ss sw and the northern energy over the Dakotas is just south of the 12z position. I can’t get the surface map to load because the weathermodels site was apparently created by the Flintstones using Windows 95. ETA: Bad news is that it wouldn’t be a better outcome than 12z if I had to extrapolate from there. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AfewUniversesBelowNormal Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 I still think we will cut into this a good bit; 1) El Nino has shown nothing of the like since July. 2) There is a healthy +subsurface wave happening now, which is 90% correlated to +PNA at the same time (I've never seen opposite verification of the extent occur).

psuhoffman Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 One trend is bothering me. I assumed the stj system would end up stronger and pump heights in front more. But the northern stream is trending even more suppressive to our northeast offsetting that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know others including you have posted and discussed that point. I'm hoping that somehow, some way, the northern stream is not as suppressive and we get some snow out of this system. Not calling for a lot - wish the CMC were right lol - but a decent 1-2 inches would be nice. That's all I'm asking for now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the northern stream is trending even more suppressive to our northeast offsetting that. Any positive that goes in our favor seems to get squashed (pun intended) by stronger confluence. If we could keep that from trending stronger from here on out, I could see how that relaxes/models overdoing it just enough to bring this north inside of 72 hours. But we can’t be looking at no precip north of VA/NC border and expect that much of a shift. Just keep RIC in the 0.5”+ QPF and I’ll remain interested up until the bitter end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's time to root that northern vortex south enough to give some snow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buddy1987 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 @psuhoffman what is your take on the trends down my way? Would you worry about a fringe job or do you think we are solidly locked in? Some of the recent model runs, especially the euro are pushing the best lift and moisture even south of me now or am I completely overreacting?

aldie 22 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 I think if my area can be in some sort of precip by 0z tomorrow I may actually feel pretty good. But if I'm high and dry then I'm calling game over and then will watch each of the next model runs and pretend like I don't care 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess this is one example of how...even in a nino...you can still fail south if the confluence is strong enough... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ewall is on the fritz but here are a few gefs members It’s going to come down to the strength of that confluence. If models are overdoing it or it ends up further north by 50-100 miles, then its game on around here. That stuff could easily change within 78 hours, let alone 100-120 hours out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
