Expand They're really holding onto a gem right there (no pun intended). Discontinue that pos and put more resources into the GFS. On 1/1/2020 at 8:04 PM, ORH_wxman said: I remember those maps. I used to check that nogaps back in the day circa 2005-2010ish...it had a very consistent SE bias back then so it was worth checking to see if it was coming NW. It would sometimes be a harbinger of a NW trend if you got two runs in a row like that. But nowdays I feel like it's a dartboard... Expand I look at it (with absolutely 0 weight for forecast influence) for every storm. It's a dart board, it seems to be well N just as much as it is South. I used to look it too with actually seriousness when i was still naive and thought all models were equal more or less in the 2003-2006 era. Didn't go so well for forecasting.

Beyond that I remember something telling me that from 96-120 if it is in lock step agreement with the GFS or Euro it’s generally an indicator the GFS/Euro idea are wrong and that they’ll undergo some type of huge change in track/evolution in the next day because the NavGEM just is that bad at that range it means the GFS/Euro idea have to be wrong too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USCAPEWEATHERAF Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 12z UKMET is a real good scenario, the 15z SREFs I believe are the current northern outliers and how far the system goes north, the GFS is bonkers. Again, not sold until we get about 30 hours closer. Just interesting to follow the trends. Our disturbance in question is coming onshore in coastal British Columbia, Canada.

Expand It's been pretty good so far this season but it barfed all over itself on the 12/18 event inside of 72 hours. Plus, back in the day the GFS was so bad with coastals, you could almost ignore it (even nowadays on legit KU-Esque coastals it still has problems imho...though we haven't gotten to test the new core yet...we haven't had a true legit one since March 2018). But GFS was pretty good with SWFE so when you had Euro/GFS agreement at 84-96h I remember you could lock it in...ala 12/13/07 I recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has improved skill, the problem is that other models (looking at you ECMWF) have improved faster. Hell even the CMC has improved faster. So the GFS is losing ground. Admittedly the GFS has not had any major upgrades recently as all the focus was on the background of the FV3. So hopefully the trend will be to at least maintain pace in the future.

USCAPEWEATHERAF Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 18z NAM is more amped with the northern branch disturbance and closes off at H5 at 51 hours. The southern stream energy is also amped and more organized. It is also ahead of the northern branch system, this could be a good run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
