Is this the problem? Using GFS here, but at 850 winds are already either west or south west, and this is at 18Z Sat. Wouldn't we need a little more of a more northerly component, at least up in northern New England, to prevent the warmup? I honestly don't have the skill set to understand if what is depicted (it might not even be the right map to illustrate this) is either a cause or an effect as to why the models keep churning out more warmth than expected. But it seems that arctic high is more strung out west to east in terms of influence on the models, and that's why that low is allowed to barrel farther north than what we would normally expect. I'll be honest I agree that things "just don't look right" compared to what we would normally see but I couldn't tell you why, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then if it's even slightly windy during the storm, ice doesn't accumulate really. Wind aids in evaporative cooling. Swaying trees and power lines much more tendency to break. It has the opposite effect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need easterly components below the tops of the mountains. But models can struggle at times with the depth of the cold air. If it's deeper than modeled, sometimes that modeled +5C ends up closer to 1C and it's sleet rather than freezing rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STILL N OF PIKE Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Is there a model we are not tossing lol ita clear as daylight it’s wagons north on ML temps and surface appear to be tighter unless things shift back manana . Unless this is a case of meso against global but I don’t see that gonna be a tight gradient somewhere between route 2 and MHT it appears w snow totals , unless there are more tickles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanStWx Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 FWIW, the entire Ohio Valley is verifying about 2-4C cooler at 850 mb than the GFS and NAM. So the entire leading edge of the WAA models are struggling with. As usual, the 12z Euro is actually performing better than the 00z Americans.

Plenty of easterly wind at 925 though, which will be blocked by the terrain and help lock in cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bristolri_wx Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 I posted this Thursday morning on Memebook. Looks like a bust out on the Cape. Ranges are probably 1" too high everywhere else. Not a fan of these slop storms... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginx snewx Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 UKMET actually skirts the NE coast and emerges at Cape Cod bay. Thats a helluva front end thump in SNE though.

I mean it was an error in that it was underforecasting heights, but it's not like the model was flat out wrong, if you get what I'm trying to say. Basically the 12z ensemble sensitivity patterns were a speed difference (about 50% of the variance) and a track difference (north shift 30% of the variance). To shift the track north the EPS members with lower heights across the ridging in western North America were the pattern to look for. All modeling was too low on heights out west (hence why models were farther north). So this could argue for the messenger SE shift in later "go time" runs.

OceanStWx Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 NCEP featured a similar pattern. The driver of the uncertainty right now seems to be the northern stream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
