BullCityWx Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 The reason the GFS is warmer is it suspiciously warms up on Thursday Morning. Now I ask you, if clouds and precip are coming in, are you really going to heat up that much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PackGrad05 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 At this point, we should be able to start seeing if the high pressure and precursor front will set up like the models are predicting...this will help us see if things will verify down the road. Euro holding on to a weaker high and weaker low, hence weaker storm.

gritsnc Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I understand ground and road temps may be up but with lows getting into the 20's, I do worry about slick roads Friday morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowNiner Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 5 minutes ago, griteater said: Agree. It comes down to precip rates and how shallow the near surface warm layer is. In this case the GFS and NAM yield good rates and the warm layer is very shallow (in this area) so I’d expect to see surface temps move 2-3 degrees lower than modeled. But look above, as warm nosing aloft is a separate problem. The Euro doesn’t have the precip rates I'm completely fine with sleet if we're solidly below freezing. I'd just like a strong winter storm event. I'd suspect that's why many mets are going so low impact event with this is 1. Hugging the euro and 2. seeing above freezing surface temps. It would be nice if we didn't have to worry about temps one time wouldn't it?! Only a 1043+ high in just the right spot.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still like it and want it on my side, but It hasn’t been the same ever since for whatever reason 09-10 the euro was the king. Ever since then it's done a subpar job of handling storms in our general area. I know it started to go through several "upgrades" at that time but it has really gone down hill. Can anyone remember the last time the euro won the model war? Reading back on the old threads this is the same situation over and over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope to see that become a trend. I'm really having a hard time buying the strong warm nose. It's not an amped up storm, the flow aloft is out of the southwest but there is a big high building in the plains at the same time. I'm also not seeing the high qpf numbers associated with such a strong warm nose. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burrel2 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Just now, StantonParkHoya said: That’s reflectivity, not the rain snow line. the hrr reflectivity picks up on the rain/snow line via the bright band you can see... where the melted flakes are hitting the radar beam. See the snowfall accum map I posted and it matches that bright band. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet streams are completely different than 2003. 2020 2003 The low SLP is over a un-favorable location for this current system, in contrast to the 2003 storm. Also, H5 does not provide any evidence of overamplification. Trough more tilted in 2003. 2020. Trough more zonal now. I think Brads forecast is on the money and maybe not conservative enough. Still a great storm to see some flakes! Any flakes should be a win! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think if the precipitation truly blossoms that it would fill back in further NW, but maybe that's just wishful thinking...

SnowDawg Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 HRRR at least with last weeks event was several degrees too warm area wide so that's a pretty wild solution there. Of course I'm speaking about the 18 HR one not the experimental, idk if it has any biases or not on those long runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddy1987 Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Kinda playing catchup here but really only thing I40 north in my opinion can hope for is either some over amplification or some southeast aided flow. Dry air is going to be a contender with a 1043 parked to the west of us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We ended up with 4 inches of snow that wasn't forecast, exceeded winter storm warning criteria. Also, the weekend before that we had about 4 to 5 hours of snow (Cashiers NC had 3-4 inches with no advisory or warnings that same day) that just gave us a dusting in places again that was not forecast and the local weather folks on fox 21 were live on tv while it was snowing in total disbelief it was happening and said a few times the models weren't showing this happening.

SnowDawg Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Pretty substantial jump north with QPF on Euro. It's snow maps don't make much sense looking at the upper thermals though. It's trying to show an all rain event for most of the area except WNC. And a changeover in the latter half for ENC. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
