Potential winter threats

Very close to developing a big system at 186 hrs..it's been very close for three runs now so I think it's definitely something to keep an eye on.

As it is..it's probably too far east as the flow is too flat initially and the PV doesn't retrograde west fast enough.

At this range, it would definitely be worth keeping an eye on, at the very least.

6-10"

probably 4-6" with the BL temps on the warmish side starting out at +1.4C then only down to +1C for beginning of next 6 hrs

.26" falls within first 6 hrs when its +1.4C and then .34" falls w/a 1C

just seems to me that you would be getting so lousy accumulations with those temps

taking it verbatim and not adjusting for bias, etc.

192hr H5 chart is ridiculous...the polar vortex is sitting over Minnesota

I wonder if that PV spits outs any s/w's in the future. def something to keep an eye on. For as progressive as h5 looks, that lp takes it time moving from FL to NC

hr 204 lp 300miles eats of outer banks.. 1004mb... looks like some light precip breaking out across oh valley

210 lp just sitting there in previous spot... light precip over pa,md,de,va...

216 now a double lp center just S/ SE of benchmark.. 992.. light -mod precip inside b.m.. light-mod precip coastal areas , heavier stuff coastal NJ AC south.

No, .7 liquid. :angry::P

Why does everybody convert liquid equivalent when we know that:

1) Model QPF is statistically the lowest verifiable parameter and

2) The model broad brushes QPF so a forecast of .7 has a spatial and statistical median quartile range of approx. .4-1.3 (just consider model progs vs. outcomes in NYC vicinity for the past storm).

3) We can't assume ptype and ratios

That's a guess based on the QPF output, nothing more, nothing less.

In this complex pattern and at this time range-- its all pretty much a crapshoot. Just glad to have the cold air here.

The pattern's going to be somewhat odd, I'm sure things will get straightened out as we get closer. One thing that will probably be close by is the cold air. I see zero signs of a stabilized warmer pattern. Instead, it will probably get colder as the month goes by. I think I'll get lower than the 13F that I've seen in December.

Do you think it will get as cold as what the 0z GFS depicted? People were talking about Jan 1994 revisited in another thread lol.

Anyone who is discounting this potential from Jan 6 - 11 apparently has a short memory. Most model at some point in the last few days has showed a major storm for the Northern Mid Atlantic North.

One discounter is guess who - this has to be the most ridicoulus forecast around right now...
