I get it. I do. But that’s a mistake. Things are much more likely to trend north in the coming pattern than they were with a -3 AO NAO block and a huge arse cutoff 50/50 spinning southeast of ideal. Funny how today the GEPS/GEFS went crazy SER D14-16 and the EPS totally abandoned it and went back to more of a trof in the east Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a Niña, with SBY at over a foot, it's plausible too. Agree. I should have just sold my house in the Shenandoah Valley and moved there permanently.

Maybe it will in Feb for once. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitchnick Posted Monday at 01:56 AM Share Posted Monday at 01:56 AM 18z AI still has a storm for next Sunday, just develops a little differently and has precip heavier east. Doesn't look heavy west of I95, but probably a moderate event. Just too tough to figure with any real precision qpf amounts with the freebie maps. It does show a miss of the coast with the 2nd event that hit se va/md hardest, just like 6z and 12z. Better maps out on TT soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really true, sorry edit: sometimes it performs better in days 1-5, equal in 6-10, same or worse in 11-15… lots of spikes and valleys and there’s no way to know when it’s right or way off. I’ll give it credit for the 1/6 storm which it did well on, but it did poorly for 1/11 at D6+ because it overpredicted the cold after the first storm. Best used as a comparison tool as a way to hold the operational “accountable”, or as another ensemble member. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always overforecasts snow imby the run before start-time. Happened twice this year. It's hit or miss like every other model.

I usually like to compare AI vs NWP of the same model family (Euro AI vs NWP, GFS AI vs NWP, etc). That’s where I got my assessment from. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
