If anything like the nam is going to happen, that's what can do it. Expand it looks better so far...trough a bit more negative. not like the nam, but better than 12z i think.

Trough going negative early enough to really benefit us. TO bad it's the nam at 84 hours Expand Mini 1/26/11 on the NAM right there. Only difference would be it's temps progressively falling versus a paste bomb at 31 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand might have to shave some qpf off to start with temps around 40, but they drop pretty fast. even if that's 0.3", gotta think that's a solid 2-3" along 95.

Expand I've said this a lot already but it really is a razor's edge. Euro is colder leading in and mostly if not entirely snow when it counts. Maybe the gfs is too warm? Hard to say. Too bad the panel before this one is too warm up through 850 but this sounding is a heavy snow and high ratio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad the panel before this one is too warm up through 850 but this sounding is a heavy snow and high ratio. Expand An encouraging thing with this panel is good lift with the DGZ. That would help purge any warm layer and make a cleaner, perhaps quicker transition to snow. It's not like this is some low energy weak clipper moving into a stale airmass. The cold air has a decent punch to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Very unusual "arctic front". Upper level flow is really backing to our north and the entire front itself it neutral or even negative tilt so it's one of the slowest moving arctic fronts I've ever seen. Also has a southern connection so it's juicy. A lot to like for a "frontal event". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 I pretty much completely disagree with Pann. Subsidence to the west of the coastal and east of the front will keep the two features completely separate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scraff Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Ok. We know. Tony Pann and Justin Berk are huge But seriously we’re not!? They just have a broader audience as part of their gigs. I mean if I was on TV, I’d likely be the same. Or worse. Could you imagine @Jion TV though?? The public would be cliff jumping every model run.

clskinsfan Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Nobody mentioned the ICON because it is ugly and one of the ways we could fail miserably. It is slower and weaker with the southern energy and tries to pop to our NE. By the time it gets its act together it is too late for everyone.

Bob Chill Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 I could see how the coastal could help in the mids and maybe the surface between the 2 features. Cyclonic flow on the backside of the coastal could help enhace the wedge that gets eroded with return flow in front of the approaching low along the front. My plan is to blend the wettest model and coldest model unless we get a legit bomb on the nam. Then I'll hug the nam exclusively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminded me of some of the events we had in Ohio growing up. One difference between 2015 and Tuesday appears to be the pace at which it comes through. If I recall correctly 2015 zoomed through as the front raced across from the midwest eastward across the DELMARVA. Tuesday's frontal passage seems much slower, but that will also give it a longer dwell time over the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
