I'm not really sure what fast flow means here in context. In the past I think it referred to an anomalously strong jet stream across the Pacific that penetrated the North American continent with mild air. "Fast flow" seems to have become a scapegoat when anything fails regardless of cause. In this case the flow is straight out of central Canada and the flow looks seasonably fast, i.e., not too fast. The speed of a SLP is partly dependent on steering currents but also on the structure and degree of maturity of a trof. For example, a SLP may slow and stall near a cutoff upper level low even if the associated jet has winds speeds over 80 knots.

and as I suggested a few days back, it might be into the mid range until things get sorted out. With that in mind, 0z's are coming around to the idea of a lot coming at us, and look a tad better for this weekend as well. ICON/GFS/CMC are stepping in the right direction. 1/24 nuke job, we'll find out in a few.

I'd gladly take what the cmc is showing for Saturday. A nice region wide 1 to 3

The GEM drops the energy in a couple hundred miles west of the GFS it looks like. Further east, no go, further west, better for us.

4 seasons - I love your website! Talk about COMPREHENSIVE! https://www.jdjweatherconsulting.com/storm-archive It's goin in my new SMF message board. Had to go get a new one, because Invision Power Boards is forcing everyone to pay 100 dollar a month or even more!

Thats the problem of late

GFS trending in the right direction.

Could the die roll have been on to something? Is this thing coming back?

@CAPE gets CAPE'd with his 1/20 thing

So what is the difference between the GFS and GEM at that time frame? Did the GFS hold something back? The GEM looks remarkably like the GFS solutions from a few days ago...tropical system and all.

I swear…. I am not emotionally mature enough to handle it snowing in deep south GA for a 2nd year in a row while I get nothing. Please save me NW trend lol.

This has legs I think. Really nice ridge out west. Just hope the flow isn't too fast

Good shifts, but I need to see a hell of a lot more to be any kind of believe in this one. I was never on board.

Can you research that and see if there's a connection ?

Would either of you mind giving an explanation of the AAM and how it relates to what we see in winter?

Oh yeah, for sure. It's a little frustrating. Some of the observers really do try and come to a reasonable number, but it's hit or miss. Can say the same about most climate sites (but not all, there are some that are usually pretty dead on!). In better news, the 0z models have trended a little more amped with the system Wednesday afternoon/evening, bringing 1-3" of synoptic snow to north central and northeast OH through the evening (probably 2-5" of snow in the snowbelt through Wednesday evening with lake enhancement), with some component of snow squalls Wednesday evening even outside of the snowbelt. Beyond that, it seems like a situation where fluffy lake effect/enhanced snow performs well through Thursday afternoon, especially in the higher terrain. Road conditions will probably be very shitty Wednesday evening and night with snow showers and squalls along with gusty winds and plunging temperatures.

I would gladly welcome 1"- 2" just to brighten the landscape.

The GEM followed the RGEM but is even more robust.

saw the forecast on my app little to no accumulation tho most fav words of weather around here for forecasts. why bother with a weather alert if the write up is a copy and paste of that

No kidding. Nice look.

0z GFS is a closer miss for the majority of the region but that was a good shift west.

speaking of 50s - temp is rising here, in the low 50s now.

So I guess the GEFS shows signs of that but everything is too displaced north as of now. Will need to watch it though.

there was also a Metro derailment? I was not aware of that
