Clarity never came into focus until basically hr72 at best. Go back and read the disco threads. Flow is fast. Even if the euro or gfs or whatever showed a foot today I wouldn't trust a damn thing because we're always 1 run away from a big shift. I think we should keep this in mind over the next couple days.

BaltimoreWxGuy Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Just not enough spacing between waves on gfs. Not looking great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psuhoffman Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Just now, BaltimoreWxGuy said: Just not enough spacing between waves on gfs. Not looking great Nope. Gfs has a wave on Sunday morning that isn’t there on other guidance. That wrecks the spacing and flattens the flow behind it. If that wave is real there is almost no hope for the Sunday night wave. But the gfs has been alone with that so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s crazy how the models have been keying on different waves all winter. Whether it’s the complex pattern or not, the models have been kind of awful this winter.

Fv3 looks so different lol Gfs seems on another planet with that wave Sunday morning but across all guidance there is a trend that’s a big problem. The wave is coming in faster and that decreases the spacing but also it then rides north because the front doesn’t have a chance to sink south. Before it can make any progress south the return flow ahead of the next wave hits. Good news is the moving parts are still shifting every run but let’s hope they don’t finally settle on this idea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like it will be a tad too north or crushed/suppressed. We will fail in the middle lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve25 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Seems to me that this is change somewhat substantially with each new set of models. I have so little faith in any of the models that I'm almost to the point where I just wait for storms to be in NAM range and then just follow that lol.

Maybe we should just abandon long range modeling altogether. Pour the funds and efforts into 5 day forecast models. On the flip side i do like digital snow lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MD Snow Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 There will be 3-4 storms chances next week with cold lurking close by. I’ll take my chances we get accumulating snow from at least one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaltimoreWxGuy Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 I’d use extreme caution on the FV3 depiction for Sunday/Monday...I almost guarantee that’s how it won’t go down...no spacing at all between storms and rain to snow? Frontal passage basically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All those threats just gone. Lol. If we toss the fv3 it was unanimous across the 0z guidance that the wave Sunday night is rain now. Two things happened. That wave sped up and amplified and the Saturday system weakened and the result was there was less cold push behind the Saturday wave and the return flow ahead of Sunday night and so the boundary shifted significantly north. It was across all guidance. It was just one run but if that change locks in for another run or two we can kiss that goodbye. But hey the gefs has some nice threats day 10-15 lol.

psuhoffman Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Yesterday when all the strong storm members of the eps were way NW that was a red flag to me. Again tonight most eps members that get snow into our area are the weak wave ones. Most of the ones that have a big snowstorm are way north. The really big 12”+ ones are way way way north. Like Cleveland to northern New England north. If the only way to get snow from it is to root for the system to be a weak squashed pathetic wave then what’s the point. I’d honestly rather New England get 1-2 feet to build base for my ski trip later in the month than my yard get another 3” from some weak wave. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ukmet is similar to this local . Overamped solutions have increased within the members but 5 days out is too early for me give up on a decent hit . Not giving up on anything just stating the obvious that there was a sudden severe shift north with the boundary for that storm the last 24 hours. There could be more shifts to come. Gfs is jumping the worse among guidance and the most out of sync with everything else so I’m kinda tossing it but your right a gfs euro comp would be good.

Ralph Wiggum Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 But my point is there is plenty of hope still for Sunday Monday....wouldnt write it off yet. Sorry if it isnt your 16" fantasy storm psu and I know Ji will still be pissed and Yoda will say it will melt in 48 hours but for those who enjoy any and all snow, there u go.
