Bob,  have ever seen that type of anomaly before?

My friend told me about it, he is a weather weenie.  To him it was a first at that range. Not sure if he was simply messing with me.

Weeklies control would be acceptable if the fv3 verifies.

On a serious note... have you looked at the 7 day mean qpf anom for week 3? That + the h5 panel = epic

Too bad we’ve been burned by the weeklies all winter. But, if we can get a KU pattern... maybe there is hope.

I've never seen an expanse like this on the weeklies beyond week 2. Usually it's little stripes or blobs. I'd agree that this is unusual.

Really?  I’ll take your word for it!

It’s very rare to see a snow mean on the climo heavy weeklies past week 2 target the mid Atlantic over places north. If you ignore the snow in the high elevations to the north that plot clearly targets VA over places to the north. Strong storm under the blocking look.

I don't think you can say we got burned. Lots of runs gave us hope but the skill for weekly and monthly guidance is really low. I'll be long dead before weather models can consistently nail anything beyond 2 weeks. I mostly track week 3 to see if the same pattern comes into focus with the global ensembles. Which hasn't really happened this year. Lol

Taking a closer look on the week 3 qpf shows another good sign. AN anoms in SoCal and southwest indicates the potential for a classic active southern stream/storm track. Maybe the MA gets a private hecs parade while suppression and depression sets up on Wxwatcher's house.... nah, I'm just kiddin. I hope wxwatcher gets destroyed as long as my yard gets twice as much.

Damn, glancing at 33andrain and did you see the GEM ensembles  

I heard from the poster ( if he is correct ) they normally dont go cold crazy like this.  

Something is seriously UP near this date. Unreal....

This might not look like much but it’s as strong a signal for a coastal storm as you will ever see at that range.

Is this a joke?

Expand  

No...that is a 5 day period not 10 or 15. A 2” mean is significant at that range for that amount of time and the way it’s cenyered over VA like that is another signal. It’s rare to see that past week 2 of the weeklies ever.

I haven’t checked this thread since this morning when I woke up. Wow, talk about a change from 14 hours ago. But what if the overnight backs down just a tad? Oh boy, get ready. 

Expand  

That’s baked into the casserole.  I always expect a step back from the overnight runs.  Showme will bring the bad news around 6 am.  Always
