nj2va Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 ICON was actually really close to a MECS looking at H5. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clskinsfan Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Ukie, RGEM and ICON all look pretty much the same now. Basically no snow north of I66. Now the question becomes is it even worth chasing to OC for this storm? Even that isnt looking so likely at this point. Bring on Spring. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikem81 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Really just need the ULL to capture the souther stream and keep it at the coast longer. Some would call it a slight tug or yank 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SomeguyfromTakomaPark Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 ICON ensembles also with a nice bump back towards the coast with the precip. Gets 0.4 almost 0.5 back to DC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s focused on the northern wave also 37 minutes ago, overcautionisbad said: If the NAM turns out to be right again then all these other models aren't worth shir for Virginia snowstorms and I will just ignore them until NAM is in range. That won’t end well. Every situation is different. The models have strengths and weaknesses. NAM has more weaknesses than most. If it gets this one right it’s probably more a fluke that it tends to over amp and this specific setup favors a further north storm imo. 37 minutes ago, Terpeast said: Since NAM is a mesoscale model, maybe it’s seeing something that globals aren’t seeing wrt gulf moisture and latent heating putting the slp track north. LWX alluded to this in the afternoon AFD. I think it’s more than just that even. The better vorticity, potential fgen, and baroclinicity are all along the arctic boundary to the north. The bigger mid and upper level forcing is there! IMO it makes more sense in every way for that “wave” to be a little more amplified until the coast where they transfer and consolidate. The NAM (I know not the bed partner I wanted here) just looks like what I picture at the surface when I see the h7 and h5 levels. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psuhoffman Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 31 minutes ago, deer said: Newb question, why does the NAM show the precip field W-E while the globals mostly show SW-NE? The storm had a duel wave structure. One down along the gulf and the other along the arctic boundary in the TN valley. The NAM is focusing more on the northern wave and then transfers to a coastal. The others are weaker with the northern wave and don’t really get much precip into our area until the southern wave starts to amplify and turn north. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
