stormtracker Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Ok, you know the drill. Let's keep this thread high and tight. I understand there will be some light banter. Let's keep even that to a bare minimum. The mods are going to be extra heavy in this thread, so if you have complaints, head over to the banter thread and talk it out. 12z guidance was good, except for the Euro. But we knew that was gonna happen. Other than that, let's reel this one in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomeguyfromTakomaPark Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Primary is stronger on this run of the Euro, no bueno for us of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 30 minutes ago, Ji said: the euro does like to amplify lows too strong in the mid range...weenie rule 14e I'm not going to sweat 1 run 4+ days out. There's been a notable trend for a colder/souther solution the last few days across the ops and ens. Still enough time for relatively large shifts. No way this tracks under us but there is a path to a real storm. the euro isnt as bad as i thought...it didnt get warmer...it just got lighter on the qpf with the north shift....but 18z saturday is still frozen precip so we just need to adjust the low track. It seems like cold air wont be an issue...i dont think it rains on the euro...it just stops lol Late to the party with a late lunch but WB GEFS has about 80% of its Members with a decent hit for the DMV. Interesting to see what the EPS has to offer. Seems like MLK weekend is bonus snow if it pans out since many, including myself were worried the flip in the pattern could take a little longer to develop. 31 minutes ago, Bob Chill said: The wobbles have commenced.

It's obviously not the big trend everyone wanted to see, but to act like it's a disaster is really odd. I'd call it just a tick in the worse direction, but I like the way the temperatures are trending. Op euro in the coastal camp for the storm next week. Weak surface reflection but this is a cows fart in the right direction away from a big storm! 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clskinsfan Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Hi Res Euro is still a snow to ice to dryslot event. Not as good as 0Z but not a total disaster either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowGolfBro Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 As noted on the long range thread the Euro does tend to over amp storms at times. It will be interesting to see if the EPS plays follow the leader. Lock in the cold air depicted and weaken the low pressure just a bit and 2-6 inch snow/sleet to dry slot/drizzle is still in play.

psuhoffman Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Im going to go ahead and call BS on the lack of surface reflection to this! I suppose that would be a new way to fail, the “everything went right and WTF” scenario. But it doesn’t matter. Odds it’s 100% with h5 at that range is small but either way don’t sleep on early next week. It’s not showing on the current op runs but the potential is there. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit, nevermind it just stalled offshore. Northern stream didn't capture it, although it looks close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthArlington101 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 EPS are a step backwards on snowfall. 12Z: 06Z: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 EPS is pretty much unanimous of at least some frozen but as posted above it cut back. There's still an equal mix of a trace/2-4/bigger event like the GFS type solution. Spread indicates that it's too early to jump to any conclusions though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterWxLuvr Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 This is similar to the Chill storm of 2012. In that case the euro was way to far north with the low at several days out than what actually happened Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterWxLuvr Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 What happened with the euro seems to be because the trough in the plains is deeper. Mentioned this a day or so ago. We need it flatter out there. It wasn’t a huge change but evidently the low is really sensitive to the depth of that trough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Its a Breeze Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 With the wonder ICON on board now, I do believe that as of the 12Z suite, we are frighteningly close to universality with at least some frozen. Are there still any holdouts left? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weather Will Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 EPS has about 40 percent of its Members with a hit ( 2 or more inches at DCA). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be a colder run but so was the euro and slower timing was a wash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hug until the next best run comes along I don't see any way this tracks under us. I know there's a chance but man, it's just not a good setup for that. However, track it west of the apps through the TN valley and the WAA/warm front can drop a lot of QPF into a decent column. Like .5-1" qpf. The ICON is a really big step towards a best case scenario.

Wonderdog Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Much much slower and good move to the south. Precip field has a sw to NE track as opposed to earlier runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. That’s the goal is to get it as Far East before it cuts. I’m skeptical of the Euro being so strong early, a known bias this year in the mid-range. Let’s keep ticking til game time.

If the 18z GFS bumps south again I'm tossing the Euro op and I'm not kidding around. The Euro is an outlier of sorts with strength and placement. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Euro is an outlier of sorts with strength and placement. The euro isn’t superior by enough to just ride with it no matter what. Especially in specific situations when adjusting for its typical error bias is rational. It’s been over amplifying systems lately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally like these setups, I stay cold longer, if I ever flip at all. Short of a dry slot, I have done well in these setups in the past 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
