Converged on a 12/21/2024 coastal storm, however ... much higher than normal uncertainty relative to very shortterm. May need nowcast for impacting east/SE regions

I don’t expect anything more than a few flurries at this time.

Well then be prepared and surprised

Just catching up this morning it's been a busy one ..

Well then ineedmodels, did the 6z improve? X3

Maybe we went from cirrus to altostratus.

Will try to pop in but I should (key emphasis, *should*) be starting work part time this morning unless my supervisor just wants to give me my schedule and brief training so might not be in til the late 12z/early 18z suite

6z eps also improved.  I'm about to take off from work.

Before or after jumping in the cruiser?

More time to de-robe from the confines of your bedroom instead of a back alley on Flatbush ave?

Wait until the insurance CEO murder trial happens. He’ll be fighting all the purple hairs 24/7.

Most of the ensembles are prob whiffs, but there is definitely a subset that are likely significant hits...you can see the spread still

6z eps are halfway to Bermuda. People are legitimately grasping at straws at right now

liking the more poleward PNA. probably has to do with the increased TPV involvement

 

... the forcing arrives from the pac - that induces the tpv descent ... just sayn'

It’s a weather forum Brett, and things did improve from where they were yesterday. So try and tolerate the discussion about the “weather.”

Euro almost always overdoes long range cold.  The only exception in my memory is the extreme cold that gave BOS its coldest reading in 65 years in February 2023.  Euro nailed that from a week or more out.

but in deference to all ... all models did exceptionally well with that - at least as far as my memory aligns.

that may not have been anything particular to euro skill, but more having to do with just the uniqueness of that hemisphere at the time.  unique situations tend to have overwhelming physics that tend to dominate the field while they are passing through out in time ... that's why "Sandy" and "Superstorm, 1993" and on and on, were detectable quite far out in the guidance and became eerily confident from a long way off

...unlike this giant piece of f'ing shit

We'll probably lose the hits today or tonight.

EPS increased the mean QPF a decent amount so there must be some decent members in there. 
 

We really need another positive step at 12z today if we’re trying for something other than light accumulations. 

yeah .. full disclosure, i know this thread was mainly "experimental" - and it was ...  but, about mid way since i was admittedly more thinking something other than complete bullshit for this effort, too -

thing is, we all know the index numerology/projections therein are made more useful by then looking at the spatial aspects of the super synopsis. hugely important to this latter facet, understanding/detecting subtle trends.    one of which has been this Auschwitzian dental exam of a western ridge - never seen a +2   delta pna move be so non-committal to a western n/a ridge like this before.  i'm wondering if speed in the flow this... or more phase 5 mjo that...

i don't want to instill hope, or add to the seemingly problematic d-drip mania problem with this social media engagement ... ( lol ) but, this keeps reminding me of the Boxing Day storm back in 2010's, great cosmic dildo winter for specifically Ayer, Ma ... (eh hem)   that storm was essentially dead and vanquished from the charts over a great initial look at like d8, too.  with just 42 or something hours to go ... it came all the way back to deliberately give me, personally, 2.4" of arctic dust while ingrate trolls that didn't deserve it were rewarded with blizzard b.js   

yeah... heh.  anyway, modeling standards really have steeply improved a lot in the last 12 years - not sure that is happening quite the same here.  we are not seeing a complete loss from the charts.  the vestiges of "should" happen/suggestions are still there.  so if it comes back stronger in the short game, it won't be so drastic  

but this has been a really, really lousy drug supply.  i say we switch dealers!

We sort of get porked by that short wave moving off the Florida coast. That’s sort of robs us a little bit of baroclinicty and moisture. Then the short wave that we’re all focusing on, it’s sort of zipping along it doesn’t have enough chance to really buckle the flow and get a good conveyor belt going. As it does so it’s flying northeast. 
 

I’m not that optimistic with this one for those reasons. Maybe someone gets clipped by moisture in SE areas, or somebody gets an inv trough with 1-3.

The GFS sniffed that out … almost exactly … a week out. It didn't quite get the 59-degrees-over-31-hours temperature rise correct (underestimated, but the trend was there). The GFS actually backed off the extreme cold as the week went on (still <0 at KBOS, but not -10) but the week-out op model verified.

I will take a dusting and honestly be happy at this point...

Will there ever be a model swing as strong as last year's Valentine's Day debacle?

This forum at least knew enough not to cancel school the day before once the models had swung wildly away from it.

the gfs just does this, i swear.   it puts out one run from like 12 days in advance that's balls on perfect, then spends the next 60 model run cycles raging in ocd to engineer every plausible f'n alternate universe that can exist in a reality constructed by the quantum uncertainty principle instead of the original.

Not saying any similarities to that storm, but I've been thinking about boxing day, the miracle comeback for a blizzard after Christmas.  This could be a miracle comeback to make a White Christmas for all which would be more memorable.

No point in arguing about 6z. If 12z shows nothing or no improvement, then she likely dead aside from scattered flurries. If it's shows another small improvement, then we continue to watch.
