StormyClearweather Posted Friday at 10:05 PM Share Posted Friday at 10:05 PM Feels like they're slowly but surely coalescing. 18Z model runs thus far. One thing I'm noticing is how juicy and north-ish the GFS is to our west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTRWx's Thanks Giving Posted Friday at 10:05 PM Share Posted Friday at 10:05 PM Very interesting to see the maximums differ so much between the GFS and Euro. GFS has it over MD while the Euro has it south of D.C. and both have shown those solutions consistently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it’s very hard for me to buy the warmer solutions when the euro/uk say it’s 24 degrees in dc and snowing with a jack south. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted Friday at 10:11 PM Share Posted Friday at 10:11 PM The GFS evolution is too wonky. Big ass dry slot. Mixing issues. Back end is decent as advertised but would probably be less impressive in realty. Much prefer the Euro, but a bit further north. 11 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayyy Posted Friday at 10:12 PM Share Posted Friday at 10:12 PM Better ratios up N and also some coastal love for NEMD and DE. Solid snow all around for the entire metro & surrounding areas, but as I’ve said for days, I’d be pretty surprised if DC south sees more snow than Columbia Baltimore Bel Air etc. This storm has central MD written all over it. Models have been waffling 50-75 miles here and there, which is to be expected and is still remarkable accuracy 3-5 days out, but our climo rarely fails to tell the story at the end of the day, especially at the front end of a cold pattern. 90+% of us will see warning level snowfall. About the best we could ask for to kick off a potentially epic January. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, from this 18z forecast today and when the first flakes are supposed to start falling, it's 2.5 days. So from that perspective, it is certainly possible.

Even then it looked pretty good. Shows the dual maxima as well. Can’t say I’m upset by any of these latest runs. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we'll see shortly. Lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be nice if it was a more widespread system but at least it’s more than we have had to really track in years. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There would likely be a significant period of non-snow ptype on the GFS from DC south and east, plus a dry slot. DC isn't getting 9 with that evolution. But go ahead and take the model output verbatim. 5 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtlanticWx Posted Friday at 10:30 PM Share Posted Friday at 10:30 PM really nailbiting part of tracking come up. i feel like all models evolve roughly the same with that NS over the great lakes, but gfs having a slower storm allows it to buckle in while it's suppressive on models like the euro. all comes down to the way it amplifies over plains 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
