Yeah, the GFS is most aggressive with the closing off of the UL so it slows the NS enough for more of a phase. The CMC has a NS open wave so it doesn’t completely capture the low offshore. But most on here would gladly take the CMC run. It seems like when we did get big phases in the past we had better wave spacing that what the models are showing for this.

The key seems to be how fast the Northern Stream UL closes off. The GFS is the most aggressive so it allows a quicker phase. The CMC still has an open wave near the Upper Plains at the same time and isn’t quite as phased. It may come down to a tiny sampling issue as to which model is correct. Probably the closest to something decent we have seen in quite some time. Anything to slow that NS down and close it off quicker in this pattern would be greatly appreciated.;)

And keep the feature in the southwest moving along.  Don't want that to slow down.  We'll see what the EURO does with that.  It has had a bias of slowing and hanging that feature up.  Not sure if that was fixed in the recent upgrade.  We'll get a hint in the next few days.

If these pieces can come together we could get the goods.  GFS flip flops aside there is decent GFES Ensemble support.

At 5 days out this is about all you can expect.  Would be happier if EURO and EPS at least nudged more favorable in the next 24 hours or so.

I'm interested!

I’m wary of that kicker trough right on its heels, although if it really does full phase like the GFS, that kicker might save it being a quick changeover to rain hugger. It seems to get to a certain latitude then get booted east.

Yeah everything has to come together perfectly to get the gfs solution. I'm intrigued that it has shown a similar solution several times in addition to several misses.

Really hoping it happens obviously. GFS is often toned down with these if anything and it’s showing crushing 3-4”/hr rates as it bombs off the Delmarva.

I posted this Saturday night and it was taken down. But when does a massive east coast snow storm come together without ease? It’s all a bunch of moving parts that need to line up

our biggest snowstorms had a kicker like that, they would get to the latitude of Delaware and then get booted east.

Never which is why they're rare

sometimes they do

February 1978 was forecast a week in advance on 70s technology that's like going to the moon on 60s technology lol.

February 1983 was forecast in advance.

March 1993 was also forecast well in advance

January 1996 was forecast in advance.

PD2 was also forecast  well in advance.

 

Obviously the tracks nudged north/west but the signals for all of the above were there well in advance.

That doesn't mean they came together easily. Also the gfs didn't have January 1996 until 36 hours before
