Jan. 31-Feb. 2 Miller B storm

What happened to the Euro run last night??  Now in my dealings with the Euro doesn't it have a so called blind spot for storms in the far Southwest of the United States where the Euro either weakens the storm down too much or holds energy back in the southwest?

Our storm basically is about to crash into Southern California as we speak just to the west of LA so I am wondering if the Euro run was just a blip and the Euro having one of its bias moments out there just west of California and diving SSE into Southern Cali before rounding the bottom of the trough out there and moving east.

 

Thoughts??

12z euro is going to start to  come back....0z tonight latest. Mark my words. It has NO support with how it handles the energy coming on the coast in the short range. I truly think they put something in the algorithm when they 'upgraded' it to remove the old Southwest bias and I've noticed whenever energy rolls into California is has mysteriously weakened it to rush it East. Now my total amateur thought is this actually makes total sense. If you wrote a computer program that had a bias of being too strong in an area and digging subsequent trof too strongly in that area, wouldn't your bandaid be to counteract that code by being weaker out there when energy is detected moving into the region? I dunno, I'm pulling straws here on why the euro is all alone BUT I have in fact noticed this weakening out in the W and SW many times when our systems come in since the upgrade. We've discussed this in other subs and even some red taggers agreed they did something to the algorithm out there to cause vorts to weaken too fast and not amplify which allows for the energy to remain more progressive and not dig in and get stuck out there. Long story short,  I'm willing to bet this is what the euro is doing yet again. Besides, we are out of the euro wheelhouse now. The runs 2 days ago with the bomb solution was the euros notoriously best range. We'll see....i.am confident it.comes back even if just with ticks and not big jumps.

Totally Agree look at my comment from earlier:

If you look at all other guidance, the Euro dramatically weakens the energy coming out of the Southwest to the point it is almost a flat wave. It makes sense to think that to keep energy rolling thru u need it to be weaker. Probably is something in the algorithm in a particular area or with a particular SD vort [if h5 sw is between lat x longitude y and > 35cv SD +3 then etc etc]. Maybe I'm off base but like I said, red taggers in other subs noted this last year when the euro would suddenly crap the bed with systems and be alone in a solution. Certainly plausible. The euro isn't the King anymore. Could this be why?

Yep and I would think that this error would affect the entire run coast to coast due to all the physics involved falling apart like a domino effect all the way to the newly formed coastal low being too weak and  too far east or southeast.  

 

Now the 6z Euro showing what appears to be a dual low structure which is often the case in a blocked system trying to move NE along the United States East Coast.

I am very curious to see the Euro at 1:00 today I wonder if it starts correcting itself or continues to struggle.  I wouldn't be surprised the Euro continues to struggle while the other models continue on continuing on.  

I bet the Euro doesn't start picking up the major storm idea again until the storm is passing through the southern Rockies.

This is exactly my thinking as well might not be until 0z we see the changes. But I bet if all other guidance remains it will begin to trend back.

Remember, the Euro was the southern outlier with the Jan. 2016 storm too. I remember it came close to whiffing Philly for a few runs.

Yes it did....and even yesterday's storm in the SE it was an even farther southern outlier for a bit with a weaker ull traversing out of the Southwest that never really amplified.

Weenie handbook Chapter 7 Page 611 Section 2 clause b: When all guidance agrees on a solution except for 1 that appears an outlier, remove outlier from group AND remove the most extreme solution on the other end from the group as well to reduce skew 

In this case adios Euro and remove the ICON from the other side and the truth likely lies in between remaining modeling solutions.

Meanwhile down south, they are performing olympic level mental gymnastics on why the euro is going to be right with suppression while every other model is going to be wrong :lol:

A few of the 6z snow maps in one spot for those interested - note NAM is only thru 1pm Monday

6z WXSIM with a NAM/GFS Blend - starting time light snow by around 1pm with S+ by 4pm ending by 7pm Monday eve. with 11" to 14" of snow

Sunday: Dense overcast. A slight chance of snow in the morning, then a chance of
 snow in the afternoon. High 34. Wind chill ranging from 23 to 27. Wind
 east-northeast around 3 mph in the morning, becoming east-southeast around 7
 mph, gusting to 16 mph, in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation 60 percent.
 Precipitation (liquid equivalent) mostly less than a quarter of an inch. Snow
 accumulation about an inch.

 
 Sunday night: Dense overcast. Snow likely. Breezy. Low 28, but temperatures
 rising after midnight. Wind chill as low as 19. Wind southeast around 11 mph,
 gusting to 17 mph, in the evening, becoming east-northeast around 14 mph,
 gusting to 21 mph, after midnight. Chance of precipitation 80 percent.

Therefore my forecast for Delaware County and along the I-95 Corridor stands at a snowstorm is coming look for a general 8-12" (We can go up from there as needed)

12Z Nam definitely north.  Push not as strong coming out of Canada.  Hopefully this is the start of something beautiful.

NAM doesn't phase in the 2nd energy early enough, implies a hair late on the neg tilt structure, stacking, and potential capture. It is around where the 6z eps was. Not a horrible run tho at all.

6-12"/7-14" seems like the general idea among guidance up here right now if u toss the extremes on either side. Very nice storm up here. Could still nudge either way, but I dont hate the NAM. Close to a Bigger storm solution here.

I like your confidence. I'm not sold on 8-12" yet let's get through today. Right now I'd be nervous if I lived in the lehigh valley. Trends with the coastal starting to look pretty Jan 30 2000 esque with the shark cutoff at least on the new nam.

Seems like we’re near the cutoff with so many storms. It only takes a small change for us to go from 12-18” to 2-4” here with this one.
