The final result wasn’t what we wanted to see obviously, especially if you are looking for a more MECS look. However, this actually shows how delicate this still is at something worthwhile. We really need the disturbance to our northeast to play nice with the TPV over the Upper Midwest. Even without it, we still managed a salvageable storm. I still like this setup for areas within the Hampton Roads up through the Lower Eastern Shore. This one is starting to look pretty solid for those parts. If I was to chase, I’d setup somewhere near Hampton Roads up to OCMD

a 50 mile shift is not much at this range and while that is certainly possible even in this case, it’s doubtful given the strong trends the opposite way. 

 

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a storm where we just have 6 runs in a row where things go badly for us. Since I’ve only been tracking stuff since 2021 I think this definitely goes down as the worst storm I’ve tracked

Hahaha we’ve done this a lot of times lol.  Although I will say this year it feels like the EPS has busted pretty hard now twice.  Once with the storm for last week where it was showing that massive 8+ zone a week out and now once with this one, which featured some fantastic looking EPS runs.

Is there any reason in particular that the models all have had it bleed the wrong way for 6 runs plus because it’s been tough to never see that reverse

I don’t know. Not going to pretend I understand what the error there (either before or now) is caused by. But as it continues to trend this way it’s making my arguments less relevant. They were based on an H5 look from 24 hours ago that’s becoming significantly different if that lobe doesn’t fully detach and close off its own circulation in time.  Then its a suppressive instead of an amplifying force.

The absolute best case right now is for a 50 or so mile NW bump and we get into the over 6" accumulation line.   Going back to the HECS thing is just off the table now.

Anyone seriously looking for a HECS right now is either being deliberately ignorant or a complete fool (or...both!).  I still hold out hope that a decent warning-level cold powder storm is on the table.

Kucera is out of control.  That’s like a 17:1 ratio.

Surprisingly Kuchera is only around 14-15:1 for DC area. 0.41” QPF in total. I’d imagine that would be too high with the best ascent further south, but it is damn cold throughout. Probably better than 10:1, but likely not better than 12:1 at any point. Further southeast where ascent is maximized, I could see those 13-15:1 ratios in this one. Man, what could’ve been with this one….

NAM with the potential game winning drive at hr81 with a failed 2-point conversion.

Or as my brother used to say about Bernie Kosar (when he was QB of the Browns):  a "Kosarian" drive:  go 85 yards, chew up 12 minutes on the clock, and have to settle for a field goal!!!
