Typhoon Tip Posted January 4, 2022 Author Share Posted January 4, 2022 Meh … first we capitulate, future cycles begin to slow down - maybe not a lot but at least a little. Looking at the NAM …. I’m noticing better ridge response over western North America after the S/W ejection east of the Rockies. That’s always been a crucial sensitivity in this whole thing …driving the translation speed of the trough exit off the east coast is anchored in that ridge amplitude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The extrapolation off that end frame would approach the upper physical bound. If you overlay the 500mb vorticity chart of the NAM at 84hrs with the GFS at 80hrs, they look pretty similar considering the lead time. The NAM is maybe a touch sharper and there's more ridging both up- and downstream. But still very similar. So the GFS should be a reasonable estimation of what the NAM run might have led to. In this case, a deep and powerful storm in the Maritimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure if it was crawling it’d be even worse. But we’ve had plenty of very major events with systems that have been really moving along too of late. So that’s where I’m coming from. Still lots to nail down with this anyway…I don’t want to jump to soon just yet. I’m Just liking the trends at 0z so far for most of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get 3-6 hrs of good rate you did well, The other 3-6 would be light snows, Slow this down where you get bands overhead for a 6-9 hr period then yeah.

Absolutely. GFS bias is more progressive anyway. But I can already see the sparkle in the weenies' eyes of 2 ft in 9 hours or something like that.

But if you can get a real dynamic deepening in our backyard it will want to cut across thickness lines and every hour counts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can't get heavy totals from a 12 hours event, then the storm either sucked, and/or didn't take a favorable track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
