Reggie has been the most consistent model and has maintained a further NW track with the SLP for 3 or 4 days now for up here with a 0.50-0.75" qpf distribution.
Lot of emphasis was placed on this period producing, We’re starting to get into some bad territory for salvaging a decent avg winter, Not saying it can’t be done, But it looks like we are heading into another warmup which will now take us into February to produce.
Still time to increase qpf and intensity now that we are setting the track potentially, Doesn't sound like much, But it was 4mb stronger at the same hr 0z weds then the 18z run.
A miss, Is a miss, No matter what the ceiling is, And right now, Were running out of get out of jail free cards as were hitting mid January, That is the benchmark to gauge a climo avg winter.
There was a convective blob out east on these model runs earlier that the SLP was chasing pulling the baroclinic zone further east and this last cycle or two has not done that and has held the SLP further to the west, You can see this on the 0z HRRR.
