Yeah... I really want to hear more about the errors the NCEP is talking about. You'd always take the Euro's initialization over the GFS because it is superior. But at 00h/06h I don't see huge differences between the two.

I did note that the gfs had a strong s/w north of MT right off the bat, and that got the ball rolling. Looking at the gfs, it's not like I say.."whoa that clearly has no place there". So yeah, what does NCEP know about this.

If 12z was not to be trusted, and 18z is also suspect, at what point can we start taking the models at face value? I mean, how long do those initialization errors carry over for? Can 00z be trusted?

I'm not sure they can ever really be trusted. I think we still need to rely on human interpretive skills for accurate forecasting. That's why everyone will be tuning in tonight to see what Ryan and his colleagues will say. (no pressure Ryan, no pressure.)

Well the weird thing is that the GFS was stronger with all 3 shortwaves involved than the Euro. The one over Manitoba, the one over Iowa, and the one in Texas. That gave us the perfect storm, I guess.

I lost my fooking post, but I was saying I would never throw anything out, but given the euro and ensembles...and also what happened at NCEP, these solutions give me pause, that's all. There will be explosive cyclogenesis, and gulf lows scare me, but man...something like the NAM?? I just don't know about that. I guess we'll see what 00z does. If that moves towards the 12z gfs and 18z nam, then we may have something. The gfs going to the BM is one thing, but the 12z gfs going south of BID and 18z NAM over Nauset Beach is something else. It just comes down to probability. You incorporate all the solutions and figure out the best approach. I'd lean to the euro end ensembles right now, but that doesn't mean it can't go west a little.
