 I know. Trop tidbits is free lol

So there’s two waves, one on the 18-19th and then the follow up wave (the one the GFS blew up today and yesterday). We need spacing issues to resolve and models to really key on that second wave. Over the next 2 days I’d really like to see some other models jump on wave 2 idea.

Euro AI was more of a late blooming miller B. 18z gfs likely a step towards a more realistic solution like that. The 12z H5 run as absurd. 1/10000 type look. It’s a Miller b setup, we know how these go…

We don’t know how anything goes at 196hrs. For all we know storm could move 500 miles north or south in the next 1-2 days

Another wacky solution from the GFS at HH. Plenty of cold coming in from the NW with the amped western ridge and digging shortwave energy, but the Gulf is closed for business. Baroclinic boundary is pushed offshore where the low develops, and the moisture feed comes from the Atlantic- part of our region just gets in on it this run via an inverted trough(that always works lol). This sort of evolution would favor places further NE.

When the "Gulf is closed for business" that is not good.

The advertised h5 pattern is amplified and progressive. We can get the southward dig with NS energy in this setup. With no help in the NA however (+NAO), the tendency will be for later/offshore development as cold comes southeastward with any significant shortwave energy. Probably need a little more luck than usual with wave timing.

Happy hour is fun but that has “last 48 hour heartbreak” written  all over it. Would be nice if we could get a solution like the 12z euro from yesterday. Simple easy 3-6”. 
 

eta…gfs kinda leaves some energy along the front late Thursday and flips us to white rain. If that front wave can amp up more and also get more trailing energy, that could turn into something.

18z RGEM with a pretty nice 2-4 thump out here on Sunday. I81 special. But we would take it.

If you or anyone else want a thread for this, I’d say go for it. Only 48 hours out.

On brand for this area.

Just so everyone knows I'm not just being a deb... there have been 35 NESIS events during a -ENSO including cold neutrals since 2000.  And full discloser I did include 2014 in this, even though you all know how much of an outlier I think that season was...if I excluded it these numbers would be a LOT worse!

Of the 35 NESIS events the average snowfall at BWI was 2.8"

71% were 3" or less

29% were 4"

17% were 6"

9% were 10"

The max was 15"

By far the highest probability of how an NESIS level storm will affect our area during a cold enso is with less than 4" of snow and that its VERY likely the heavy snow will miss us to the north or east.  That is just the probabilities based on the records.  

I am NOT saying it cannot snow or that we can't get a good snowstorm, just that the odds are against it and so I am not getting my hopes up by long range HECS type setups because history says those storms are very likely to miss us.  

Just for comparison there have been 25 NESIS events in warm enso years since 2000

The avg at BWI is 7.4"

only 40% were less than 4"

60% were 4" plus

44% were 6" plus

20% were 10" plus

The max was 29"

My advice is in a cold enso when we are tracking a major snowstorm at range...expect it to miss us to the north or east and to get a very minor event because that is what the probabilities say are by far the greatest odds...then be happy if it turns out to be the very rare fluke where we get a major event.  

Even in a warm enso our odds from range at a major threat being a BIG snow are below 50% but they are over double the chances in a cold enso.
