Continued the trend of having confluence linger north of us (which hasn't stopped for maybe the past 48-72hrs), but it seems like the SW might be a bit amped and it's a bit slower, allowing heights to rise a bit in front. At least that's the explanation that I can see, since the GFS is like 6hrs faster. 

You’re right.  Great post!  The improvements continued in front. Better confluence. High holding better. But the SW was slower and amped more so it offset those improvements.

With the elevation and maxing out qpf with upslope that area jackpots.   I need to move that way.    

I guess it depends on the year. They have about 500 feet on me which can make a difference. And if storms track inside being further west can help. On the other hand there have been years like 2010 and 2014 where this area did better because they were too far west to Jack a few times.

Yeah I thought it looked great up top and out in front. Tad slower though. 0z will be telling. :weenie:

And yes great post by him. He continues to impress.

Yeah, it's pretty apparent to see those differences in timing when comparing the GFS to the Euro. GFS already has 0.3-0.4" of precip as of 12z Thursday in areas where the event hasn't even started on the Euro. I believe it's the slowest of all OPs at the moment.

Is that normal for up there or just a good year?  I know the one coop in the area averages about what I do but they could be in a local minimum. 

It's a good year. I had 16" 2 weeks ago at 750' In elevation. Cascade/blue ridge summit area maxed out with 22" or so. But those areas are always 4 to 6 degrees cooler than Smithsburg or Thurmont.

Euro looks great to me. Mids are still trending the right way. Perfect. As heights press, slower onset often comes with the territory. That's 2 steps in front of what I'm watching. Heights are prob going to start sliding the other way sometime between now and wed night. I like where this is a lot more than I did 48 hours ago

Agreed.  You can’t beat the elevation.  1400-1600ft up will give you better ratios and the precip jackpots.  Always. 1400ft is the magic number.

Is this actually a thing? Why would off runs be any different? 

Just Ji things.

Agreed, good analysis.  Now put your pants back on.
