Edit: We get some flurries as the storm vanishes overhead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect it will continue to head towards Euro and meet somewhere in the middle….but I hope not giving the middle finger. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVclimo Posted December 31, 2024 Share Posted December 31, 2024 Snow reaches our area 18 hours later on the 06Z GFS (and the 00Z CMC) than the snowier EC/ UKMET runs. I guess we’re rooting for the quicker solution ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Man Posted December 31, 2024 Share Posted December 31, 2024 GFS at 246 is a NC/Southern VA special, but we step closer and get snow this time that lingers for some time. Still snowing at 276 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interstate Posted December 31, 2024 Share Posted December 31, 2024 On big issue I see with the GFS is it east to west trajectory. That allows the mountains to dry up all the precipitation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winter_warlock Posted December 31, 2024 Share Posted December 31, 2024 Sterling mentions storm potential on monday... A shortwave trough is forecast to approach the east coast early next week. There is still considerable spread on the ultimate outcome in both timing and precipitation potential/placement. However, winter weather will be possible since temperatures will remain below normal. Continue to monitor the forecast for potential impacts during this period. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superstorm93 Posted December 31, 2024 Share Posted December 31, 2024 6z operational and EPS were pretty solid for you guys. Hoping the Mid-Atlantic can cash in on this one since it's been a hellish last few years. 16 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slp on 6z is further north than 0z by 50-75 miles +/- and is 4mb lower than 0z. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just looking at the 5H vort. It's a touch further south at 6z than 0z, but is stronger with 2 closed isobars instead of only 1. This would definitely come north of 0z if it was to play out. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scraff Posted December 31, 2024 Share Posted December 31, 2024 My coffee tasting even better this morning after looking at that 0z Euro and 6z GFS. It’s going to be rocking January. Happy New Year to you all! And damn straight the coffee got Kahlua in it. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted December 31, 2024 Share Posted December 31, 2024 One difference I noticed between the GFS and the Euro/CMC is the GFS de-amplifies the trough as it moves into an upper level convergence zone(flow velocity decreases)- note the area of discontinuity as the flow within the jet streak rounds the base of the trough and encounters the region just upstream of a strong jet streak associated with the massive vortex over the Canadian Maritimes. That weakens the lift as precip moves into our area. The Euro has a more continuous/favorable jet configuration at that same point with a stronger shortwave at h5 and heavier precip at the surface. 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superstorm93 Posted December 31, 2024 Share Posted December 31, 2024 50/50 is a touch east, which helps with the confluence and gives you a better shot to phase in the northern stream vort. Not that far away from a bigger solution. Could be a fun day if these trends hold up. 20 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted December 31, 2024 Share Posted December 31, 2024 The 06z GFS 10/11 storm isn't a classic big dog, but it is a long-duration event with a 500 low closing off near Richmond and prolonging the snow. 18 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on 0z and 6z, it sure looks like there will be an east-west stripe of over a foot. Exactly where that will be is a moving target unless Superstorm's northern stream possibility comes to fruition. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
