I’ve seen people on Twitter speculate it’s due to the reduction of aircraft data feeding into it due to covid. But i figure that would impact all the models, so I’m not sure. It probably did impact them all and we just didn't notice because the other ones already sucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Just now, Eskimo Joe said: Yes. I learned this ironically at the ESRI conference in San Diego where a rep. from the ECMWF showed a data density map of observations and how there really isn't any ship or buoy data in the Atlantic. They were able to pull a lot of commercial aircraft data down because that's the only heads up they get about the mid latitude cyclones pushing into Europe. Interesting, thanks. But given that’s downwind of us, would need to see if that impacts these short range forecasts over North America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would but it’s hypothetically possible for a reduction in data to effect one more then other depending on how much they rely on initialization.

SomeguyfromTakomaPark Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 It’s surprising this trended to another white rain/mix event with temps 33-36 in DC. I guess that’s been the seasonal trend though, there is never any deep cold preceding a storm. We haven’t had a storm with temps in the 20s the night before in quite some time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something that I've learned/but don't practice enough is that the NAM/3k are very good are finding warm noses throughout the column. The almost always end up slightly further north than even what they show. RGEM now shows the warm nose at 12z for us in DC area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s frustrating... but hopefully we can catch a break this time... it’s very close and I’ll pretty much take sleet or snow at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 RGEM looks like the NAM with (presumably) a 800mb warm layer poking up to around a Laurel-Rockville line early tomorrow morning. Kind of amazing how crappy our air masses have been this winter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I’ll take whatever, I think we’ll just have to get used to this unfortunately on the coastal plain as our climate rapidly warms. Was supposed to have a high of 39 today, just went for a run in rock creek and it’s beautiful out lol. Nice and warm in the sun temp up to 38 already, running in a t-shirt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lack of cold at any point is ridiculous. Last year, fine everyone east of the Mississippi was warm. This really is just us. We are busting high on forecasted highs and lows daily. At least maybe the rain/white rain tonight and tomorrow will get all the accumulated salt of the streets just in case we get a bit of a surprise for wave 2. That’s the glass half full thought for the day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the glass half full thought for the day. Even the 12k NAM is already busting low with temps. NAM says I should be at 35 and DCA should be at 37. I'm at 38/39 and it's already around or above 40 at DCA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not even just 850s the surface is torched too for a lot of our subforum. Looking like plain rain to me around DC. And this is from another model that is already busting 2-3 degrees low on current temps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricanegiants Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Wow. And to top it off—this confidence building boiler plate quote from LWX next week. A slight winter threat exists for Saturday and Tuesday. If these threats materialize, it may cause travel disruptions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baltimorewx Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Anyone think that the trailing wave for saturday is maybe preventing wave 2 from being able to really develop?
