that's what I was thinking and HPC is worried about feedback

Would you get that in the ensembles too?

I thought the ensembles would smooth out those kinds of problems some, but they show the same or more qpf than the operational

the MM5 is way west

the Rgem is waaaaaay west

the GGEM is even more west

and HPC thinks its a feedback on the GFS?

I've never heard of the mm5 model...should that be a sign to disregard? Nice to see it support gfs though!

very good in SHORT term ---- 36 hrs and under

It's going to take the Euro to seal the deal.. I think...(At least in some minds..) NWS has to be going crazy at their offices in the area's this could affect.

The funny thing is so many people were dismissing the euro when it had this solution before.

What if we have complete role reversal and the euro becomes the only model not to show this solution? We should apply the same logic and discount it just like it was being discounted when it stood alone with its east coast bomb idea.

I think it has been pretty clear throughout this process that HPC has been hugging the EURO so since the EURO was really not on board as much at 12z, I imagine this is HPC's excuse for trusting in the EURO the whole time and still trusting it now. I only can hope and pray at this point that the EURO follows the trend this evening.

wow that is so bad thinking on their part

HPC SAYS ....

CONSOLIDATING UPPER LOW OVER THE EAST...

LOW PRESSURE FORMING UP THE EAST COAST...PREFERENCE FOR A 00Z

NAM/15Z SREF MEAN COMPROMISE

THERE ARE SMALL SCALE DETAILS THE NAM/GFS/ECWMF ARE SHOWING ISSUES

WITH WHICH MAY IMPACT ITS FORECAST LATER ON. THEIR SOUTHERN

STREAM SHORTWAVE IN TEXAS ARE 30-40 METERS TOO WEAK AT THE 500 HPA

LEVEL BASED ON RAOB REPORTS FROM TEXAS. THE NAM DOES NOT CAPTURE

THE ONGOING CONVECTION IN EASTERN TEXAS. THE 18Z AND 00Z GFS RUNS

ARE SHOWING SIGNS OF CONVECTIVE/GRIDSCALE FEEDBACK AS THE SYSTEM

MOVES ALONG THE GULF COAST WHICH COULD BE MAKING ITS SOLUTION AT

THE SURFACE AND ALOFT TOO STRONG. THERE ARE HINTS THAT THE RIDGE

INITIALLY ALONG THE EAST COAST IS MORE AMPLIFIED THAN THE

NAM...WHICH WOULD BE CLOSEST TO THE 12Z ECMWF/12Z ECMWF ENSEMBLE

MEAN FORECASTS FOR 00Z. ANY OF THESE DETAILS COULD

DEGRADE/NEGATIVELY AFFECT THE SHORT RANGE FORECAST.

WHEN THE GFS SHOWS CONVECTIVE/GRIDSCALE FEEDBACK...THIS

LOWERS OUR CONFIDENCE IN ITS FORECAST. SINCE TRENDS ARE APART AND

THE GFS AND ITS ENSEMBLE MEAN ARE ON THE STRONG/WEST SIDE OF THE

GUIDANCE...WHICH IS UNUSUAL...WILL MINIMIZE CHANGES TO CONTINUITY

AND SPLIT THE GUIDANCE DOWN THE MIDDLE...PREFERRING A 00Z NAM/12Z

SREF MEAN COMPROMISE.

To be honest, the atmosphere doesnt care what HPC thinks or the Euro model does-- Nature will do whatever it wants regardless lol. So, while interesting to see what the Euro "solution" is at this point, you shouldnt hang your hat on it. Just wait and see what happens.

There IS other model support (especially ensemble)...and this is a MUCH shorter lead time. apples/oranges

for some of you new folks think before you post

Members,

Due to the high activity with the pending event, AmericanWx is entering in what is called Storm mode. Additional temporary moderators are added and the normal warn and suspend protocols are removed. Moderators will now have the power to automatically remove your posts and or suspend you without warning. Moderators will create ONE thread that you may mix banter and weather in. KEEP ALL BANTER in this thread ONLY. Please see below the new policies/rules that are put into affect under Storm Mode:

1. Cross thread trolling will not be permitted on the weather side. If you are in a region other than your own with the sole purpose of starting trouble, you will be suspended without question.

2. Model threads will be cleared of unrelated discussion, empty "smiley posts", personal attacks, and analysis without any basis. Even the most basic and rudimentary analysis would be appreciated.

3. In model threads, repetitive questions such as “how much for…..” etc will be deleted.

4. Please respect the professionals that post here. They will make forecasts as they are comfortable but continued pestering or badgering of them with "How much for...?" will result in the quickest exit from this board. We will not be tolerant of abusive or trolling behavior.

5. If you post a forecast, please have some sound reasoning behind it. IMBY forecasts also known as wishcasts will likely end up in OT or deleted.

6. DO NOT link threads that have nothing to do with weather or weather forecasting from any other board. Do not link threads from other boards that contain cross feuding or dealing with personal issues.

Its a holiday. The most experienced mets are home with their families. Same reason tonight is not a good night for a heart attack. You end up being treated by the first year resident. He does the best he can but........

I would be stunned if the Euro did not jump on board. At this point, my main concerns are A) dry slot LI and B) precip type issues for the coast! It's clear that in such a complicated setup, something was inaccurately sampled and hence, tonight's outcome. In all reality, the writing was on the wall all day long...I noticed some changes in the SREF's earlier this morning that made me a bit nervous; the trend continued with the 1500 and 2100 SREF, and sure enough...

I expect the Gfs to be right. It's not 72-78 hours anymore. It's 6-30

What if the NAM was showing it and not the GFS? Would you trust the NAM and not the GFS? Just asking

INGEST...

00Z NAM/GFS EVALUATION INCLUDING PRELIMINARY MODEL PREFERENCES...

NAM INITIALIZATION ISSUES WHICH COULD BE RELEVANT LIE BELOW.

LOW APPROACHING THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST MONDAY NIGHT...PREFERENCE

FOR A 12Z UKMET/12Z ECMWF/00Z GFS COMPROMISE

THE ECMWF LIES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SPREAD SHOWN OVER ITS PAST

COUPLE DAYS OF RUNS WITH THIS SYSTEMS PROGRESSION. WITHIN THE

QUICK/NEARLY ZONAL NORTHERN STREAM...THERE IS SIGNIFICANT SPREAD

WITH A LOW APPROACHING THE COAST OF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST MONDAY

NIGHT BOTH WITHIN THE 12Z GLOBAL ENSEMBLE MEMBERS AND THE CURRENT

DETERMINISTIC GUIDANCE SPREAD. SINCE THE FLOW IS ZONAL...WILL

FAVOR THE GUIDANCE ON THE QUICKER SIDE OF THE SPREAD...WHICH WOULD

BE A 12Z UKMET/12Z ECMWF/18Z GFS COMPROMISE.

NORTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVE MOVING ACROSS WESTERN

CANADA...PREFERENCE FOR A NON-12Z CANADIAN COMPROMISE

THE NAM/GFS HAVE TRENDED QUICKER WITH THIS SYSTEM OVER THEIR PAST

DAY OF RUNS. THE ECMWF IS ON THE QUICK/NEGATIVELY TILTED SIDE OF

ITS PAST COUPLE DAYS OF RUNS WITH THIS SYSTEM. THE NON-12Z

CANADIAN GUIDANCE IS IN EXCELLENT AGREEMENT CONCERNING THIS

SYSTEM. WILL FAVOR A NON-12Z CANADIAN COMPROMISE HERE.

SOUTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVE TROUGH DIGGING INTO NORTHWEST MEXICO

EARLY TUESDAY...PREFERENCE FOR A NON-12Z CANADIAN COMPROMISE

THE ECMWF IS ON THE SLOW/SOUTHWEST SIDE OF ITS PAST COUPLE DAYS OF

RUNS. THE GFS HAS TRENDED SLIGHTLY SHARPER/STRONGER WITH THIS

SYSTEM OVER ITS PAST DAY OF RUNS. THE 12Z CANADIAN IS A QUICK

OUTLIER WITH THE MOVEMENT OF THIS SYSTEM...WHILE THE 12Z ECMWF WAS

THE MOST AMPLIFIED/SLOWEST. THE NON-12Z CANADIAN GUIDANCE IS ALL

REASONABLE CLOSE TO THE ENSEMBLE MEAN SOLUTIONS...SO WILL PREFER A

NON-12Z CANADIAN COMPROMISE HERE.

SOUTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVE MOVING THROUGH THE SOUTHWEST INTO THE

CENTRAL PLAINS/MIDWEST...PREFERENCE FOR A NON-12Z CANADIAN

COMPROMISE

THE NAM HAS TRENDED STRONGER WITH THIS SYSTEM OVER ITS PAST DAY OF

RUNS. THE GFS HAS TRENDED QUICKER WITH THIS SYSTEM OVER ITS PAST

DAY OF RUNS. THE ECMWF HAS TRENDED QUICKER WITH THIS SYSTEM OVER

ITS PAST COUPLE DAYS OF RUNS. THE 12Z CANADIAN IS A NORTHERN

OUTLIER WITH THIS SYSTEM AS IT DOES NOT SEPARATE IT FROM THE FLOW

NEAR THE US/CANADIAN BORDER AND IT FORMS AN UPPER LOW IN THE

NORTHERN PLAINS NOT SUPPORTED BY ANY OF THE ENSEMBLE MEANS OR

OTHER DETERMINISTIC GUIDANCE. THE 18Z GEFS MEAN/12Z ECMWF

ENSEMBLE MEAN SOLUTIONS SUPPORT A MORE SOUTHERLY SOLUTION...SO

WILL FAVOR A NON-12Z CANADIAN COMPROMISE WITH THIS SYSTEM.

CONSOLIDATING UPPER LOW OVER THE EAST...

LOW PRESSURE FORMING UP THE EAST COAST...PREFERENCE FOR A 00Z

NAM/15Z SREF MEAN COMPROMISE

THERE ARE SMALL SCALE DETAILS THE NAM/GFS/ECWMF ARE SHOWING ISSUES

THE SURFACE AND ALOFT TOO STRONG. THERE ARE HINTS THAT THE RIDGE

INITIALLY ALONG THE EAST COAST IS MORE AMPLIFIED THAN THE

NAM...WHICH WOULD BE CLOSEST TO THE 12Z ECMWF/12Z ECMWF ENSEMBLE

MEAN FORECASTS FOR 00Z. ANY OF THESE DETAILS COULD

DEGRADE/NEGATIVELY AFFECT THE SHORT RANGE FORECAST.

THE SHORTWAVE MOVING THROUGH THE MIDWEST THE DETERMINISTIC AND

ENSEMBLE SPREAD HAS SIGNIFICANT INCREASED SINCE THIS TIME

YESTERDAY...WITH THE 18Z AND 00Z GFS/18Z GEFS MEAN ON THE WEST

SIDE OF THE OVERALL SPREAD AND THE 12Z CANADIAN AND A SIGNIFICANT

PERCENTAGE OF ECMWF/CANADIAN ENSEMBLE MEMBERS ON THE EAST/QUICK

SIDE DUE TO GREATER INTERACTION WITH A VORTEX IN EASTERN CANADA.

THE NAM HAS TRENDED STRONGER ALOFT AND MORE WESTWARD AT THE

SURFACE OVER ITS PAST DAY OF RUNS. THE GFS AND ECMWF HAVE TRENDED

APART...WITH THE ECMWF SHOWING A EAST TO SOUTHEAST TREND FOR THE

PAST FEW DAYS AND THE GFS TRENDING WEST. IN BOTH CASES...THE

MODELS ARE SHOWING LONG TERM WAVERING...WITH THE GFS RETURNING

TOWARDS /IF NOT WEST OF/ ITS SOLUTIONS FROM MONDAY THOUGH THE

ECMWF IS MORE EAST THAN SEEN ON ITS PRIOR FIVE DAYS OF RUNS. THE

SREF MEMBERS HAVE SLOWED DOWN AND SHIFTED THE LOW MORE WESTERLY

WHILE THE CANADIAN AND ECMWF MEMBERS HAVE TRENDED QUICKER AND MORE

OFFSHORE. WHEN THE GFS SHOWS CONVECTIVE/GRIDSCALE FEEDBACK...THIS

LOWERS OUR CONFIDENCE IN ITS FORECAST. SINCE TRENDS ARE APART AND

THE GFS AND ITS ENSEMBLE MEAN ARE ON THE STRONG/WEST SIDE OF THE

GUIDANCE...WHICH IS UNUSUAL...WILL MINIMIZE CHANGES TO CONTINUITY

AND SPLIT THE GUIDANCE DOWN THE MIDDLE...PREFERRING A 00Z NAM/12Z

SREF MEAN COMPROMISE.
