I'd rather go back to a juiced up WAA overrunning with a primary low in KY that transfers to the coast. GGEM is more like this with about the same result given a weaker CCB from the coastal. Expand me too but nothing comes easy, this can still work IF even for me IF the system is slightly more amplified but that's too many if's for my liking. Would rather go back to the easy can't miss idea of a WAA thump into a cold high and not be worrying about phasing and perfect track and all that jazz...definitely like the chances down your way better than up here ATT.

That would be the doomsday scenario here. Of course at this range its equally likely the coastal ends up slightly more amplified and is a hit for all. I guess it depends on if your a glass half empty/full kinda person. But this setup is higher risk reward. Expand Yeah that snow map FWIW is no friend to me.

SomeguyfromTakomaPark Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 CMC is also a nudge NW with the QPF. So far the 12z suite is unanimous with 3-4 inches falling in DC proper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand so dont you think that IF the HP scoots that we can get a northerly correction and keep the advection out in front? I realize its a tit for tat scenario, but as we've been seeing the elongated structure, I'd just think that if that were to happen, while losing some forcing, we still have enough for that to happen.

Lift is obviously not strong given the weak low and lack of strong frontogenesis, but there's a deep dendrite growth layer throughout the storm. Should be good for nice ratios.

Amped Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I agree with JI. 2-4 is fine for a clipper, but I'd expect more from a Miller B with a 1040 high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
