Exactly. Too early to really get excited given the chaotic pattern. The pieces are there for this to come together and produce, we’ve seen others go poof. In 48 hours we can start diving in I think. 

It’s not really chaotic - more like exotic.  Triple phasers are unusual but there is precedent for them to be well advertised.  Problem is with Miller A’s - subtle changes can mean a lot.  See march 2001 for example.

Can't ignore the AI. Hopefully it's wrong

It did not do too well with this last event, it was way south til the final day.  I've not followed it much beyond 96, its been good inside of that but not so much beyond

AI?  Do people really take it seriously at this point?   Do we have much in the way of history as far as accuracy?

it's gotten hyped by tech bros as "solving weather" but now 2 years out it feels like just another model to add to the pile... and sometimes it's right and sometimes it's kinda off

It's way more southeast of the GFS you could argue it's on its own compared to the GFS-Euro.

I'm enthusiastic about verification scores, considering it's recent introduction.  Even we wind up with broken hearts due to an AI model win, it's a longterm win for forecasting if it can continue to perform on spacial and temporal regularity.  

 

Very interesting to enter the wild west of modern forecasting.

Won't argue with you on that stance.  I share it.   ...but I'm definitely interested in seeing how it evolves.  Isnt like we have the ability to ignore it either way.  What it has done for many areas of daily life already is amazing.   Unfortunately, the negatives clearly outweigh the positives when influenced by bad actors.

Isnt there an automatic 10 day ban for bringing up that bust? Lol

March 2001 was bad but the 3 foot blizzard that never happened was arguably an even bigger bust. 

Kind of.  Depends on the audience.  2001 was one of the first "mass hype busts" of that caliber.  It literally created the first local media weather memes, or was at least foreshadowing of memes.  

More recent busts are different, for a lot of reasons in this strange time we live in.  Social media is destroying so much. I think most of us would give up all tech advances to return to yesteryear.  Net loss of tech and communication.  Net gain in regard to everything else. 

Im not sure forecasting advancements have lead to more preparedness or even accuracy.  ...at least not from the perspective of the general public.

ICON at 00z looks somewhat similar to 18z GFS in that it hits Delaware and VA and coastal southern jersey with a nice storm before scooting OTS

Definitely the beginning of a pattern (at least for this part of the season.)

I want to see what happens after the cutter materializes.
