I am hearing through the grape vine that HPC is throwing the 18Z run out as well. Take it whats it worth.

Fortunately, mother nature couldnt care less what HPC thinks.

This is from our resident NCEP guy:

Well said. I fully endorse this post. I really want to know what they are seeing. I'm shocked they are so willing to just toss runs with these sort of short lead times.....especially with some ensemble support.

I agree, also, the models were already begining to show signs of coming west last night prior to all the model error talk today.

its too late though-- they already looked "bad" when they bought the euro earlier. I mean, it shouldnt matter at all-- they know this is a very inexact science and one bust wouldnt mar the 90% of the time theyre right.

it is rare that i envy long beach in winter storm but this might be one of them. winds could be very strong over there.

If this happens, absolutely. The 12/19 and 2/25 storms in particularly were extremely windy around here, probably over 40 mph gusts.

I'm still playing on the very cautious side with this and still think this is mostly a glancing blow. I agree with Lee Goldberg's call for now. 0z will be very telling, if we see a mass westward lurch from the rest of the suite we can probably lock in a big storm. If they continue with their sheared out and late blooming low, I really have to think this is just overcorrecting on the GFS/Nam's part. As baroclinic said as well, the Gulf is key. The more heat and moisture can be drawn in, the more feeding back and development the low will undergo.

Of course he had seen 18z. Lee is a guy that checks models right before he goes on air. He's one of the best NYC mets (Lee Goldberg, Nick Gregory and Craig Allen are the best IMO).

It pays to be conservative right now. No one wants to alarm people over Xmas weekend.

I'm pretty sure there isn't a forecaster who is working the midnight rounds tonight at Taunton, Upton, Mt. Holly, Baltimore who isn't hoping the 00Z runs just come to a damn conclusion one way or the other, it makes it alot easier to either go with no headlines or vice versa come the morning package if there is strong agreement, if its still U.S. models vs. the world by 3am then I don't know what to say.
