When an event is close, under 48 hours, the spread on ensembles are supposed to get smaller and smaller. That's the point. Ensembles being all clustered is not a concern.

The euro ensembles having such a fairly large spread is odd. The event is so close. Ensembles should not be disagreeing too much.

What's weird is a small intra-model spread and a huge inter-model spread. That's almost unheard of. And it doesn't make much physical sense.

From Steve D.....not sure if it has been posted or now

Over the past 12 hours, more data has become available to suggest the potential for a significant snow storm Sunday evening through Monday is growing. There is a great amount of uncertainty with this forecast, more so than I have ever seen with any other winter storm forecast. Model data is corrupted. Disturbances are stronger than forecasted. And to really make all of this interesting, not even the best ranked models can be trusted at this time. However, I have been tracking the latest observations and keep an eye on this storm, as promised; and I am currently elevating the threat for a region wide winter storm to moderate based on the latest upper level observations that are coming in. At this time, I am not changing the going forecast however if trends continue changes will have to be made for a more extensive winter storm impact for Philadelphia and New York City.

I will continue to monitor the situation by the hour and will update if changes are needed to be made.

Hey arent' you stormchaser from that other board? You and robbs are the best on there. No, ive not seen any reasoning for why hpc is tossing anything, other than corruption, whatever that means.

Yep, that's me and thank you for the kind words. My personal opinion is HPC's just looking for a reason to remain w/ their current forecast until we've seen a full cycle of runs w/ a hit in the Northeast.

Is the 0z nam using anything connected to the gfs errors earlier? Or can we now start putting that notion to rest hopefully?

There were never any errors to begin with in my opinion, at least not enough to mask the obvious trend of improving trough sharpness and s/w strength over the past 24 hrs.
