Does anyone know why ncep never developed a high res version of the GFS similar to the Rgem and high res euro (not sure of they discontinued that when the euro op went high res). 

I believe the GFS runs on the FV3 core and is fairly hi-res compared to what it used to be. RGEM runs at a resolution similar to the NAM with the HRDPS the Canadian version of the hi-res 2.5km, although it has some significant issues with a multitude of parameters. This is a great question for the MDL people since they have more of the background.

        It's really an EMC question, but you nailed it.   The HiResW FV3 can in some ways be considered a hi-res GFS, but the GFS has been tuned a fair amount in recent years, with none of those upgrades making it into the HiResW FV3.

FV3 at the end of the run, so take it for what it's worth, but considering the antecedent airmass and wet bulb temps, there's a good possibility many of us are snowing early Monday morning between 22-26F with DCA probably reporting 28-29. In any case, surface temps look really solid to stay at or below freezing for many in here.

Ah yes, EMC! I keep forgetting about them. They are literally two floors down, but they just go about their business and are quite reserved. Super knowledgeable people down there at NCWCP. Appreciate the response ^_^

Damn, guess KC is gonna be jack for this storm. We had our chance, I guess.  Maybe next time.  

 

ETA - he's probably got some insider contacts at both the euro and GFS.  Already knows what's gonna happen for the 00Z runs.  Keep an eye on his whereabouts for the tell.  Natural gas futures traders hate this one trick...

Cantore is typically the kiss of death…

Down here in AA County we like to ride the the line. Big QPF and big snowflakes. If we don't ping, we bling.

Cautiously optimistic for us lowlanders. Edgewater/Annapolis is consistently on the northern fringe of the IP line. One thing I do love seeing is consistency on the CCB pull through for here. If that materializes....we will get raked before the storm bids, "Au Revoir!" on its way out. One of the reasons we see the 2-4" uptick for Eastern AA Co. Fingers crossed!

I love your optimism! Us Capers have a little more latitude.

Back over the summer. Bit closer to work and a little better living arrangement (Personal stuff). Wife and I might be settling in Northern AA or out by Mt Airy in 2026. That's the goal. Financially will be considerably better by then with student loans and car payments all paid off. Amazing how much money that will open up. 

Btw, I grew up less than 12 min from you. Carney/Cub Hill area. I lived off Northwind and Harford Rd. Loved that area. Was a neat little microclimate outside the Beltway.

I know that Area well... I drove by the Soda Pop Shop today.
