The January 5/6 Thing

GFS seems to be on an island with its evolution. Will take a look at ensembles to see how they behave, the rest of the 00z suite looks absolutely nothing like it. I know this is a broken record, but people have to stop living and dying by every model run. You will drive yourself crazy. 

CMC coming in for a major beat down and follows the rest of the suite with its 5H evolution. Everything still looks fine by my eyes. Back to QPF forecasting for me. Will chime back in after 1230

The Canadian is what I expect that kinda upstairs look to result in. There's still a formidable cold dome and associated confluence being driven into by the s/w. Yes its potent on these runs this evening, but it actually can result in a solid CAD wedge, which the GFS is notorious for not representing well. The Euro, GGEM, NAM, and Icon thermals were all pretty solid at 0z.

if it wasn't the CMC, sure would.   Just hoping the Euro holds and the GFS just had a shit the bed run

The CMC scores quite a bit better than the GFS, so I’m not sure why you’re saying this.

GFS is hammered and needs to go to bed. The Euro will hold serve. It has been consistent while the gfs has taken bullseye from North Carolina to southern PA.


.

GFS is not alone though. It has all the American suite plus the German's on its side. Euro and Canadians are on the other side.

That’s wild! 1.5-2.3” of sleet. I’ve seen almost 4” when I lived in CT and it was absolutely epic! 

President's Day 2 back in 2003 , measured half inch of snow followed by 7 inches of pure sleet down here - in western Albemarle county then... We didn't get the huge snow totals like just to our north got...

As far as recent 1-5 day verification performance goes:

500mb heights: Euro is top, CMC very close second, GFS distant third

850mb temps: Euro top, CMC and GFS are about the same

Did not check ensembles.

It was insane. And I actually dont think I would hate a sleet bomb with the cold that is coming. I could slide down my front yard every day to my car.

can't recall the exact event, but I remember a couple of inches of sleet in downtown baltimore around 2017ish. The texture of it was crazy
