12z Suite scorecard NOW FINAL...(4.5 for 8 as of 2:15 pm)
ICON --- disaster (w/ bargaining over maybe its thermals are their usual trash)
GFS ---- primary holds on too long aiming for Ohio which, why? I grew up in Ohio and nothing should aim for there. Miller B hell, some snow front end, but meh if you are big game hunting, okay if you want 4+ inches or so..
GEFS --- not great - in line w/ GFS - area-wide 2" - 5" w/ snow hole concerns floating
CMC ---a hit! area-wide 6+ inches with upwards to a foot some places but also genuine concern for our friends on the lowlands SE of 95 for mix or rain at the transfer.
GEPS -- juiced up compared with 0Z - supports the OP
UKIE ---- a decent hit but all front end - the junk in the trunk is reserved for NE - maybe 4-6 inches plus area wide
EURO ---- mid and post coital cigs for most everyone. Massive storm unfolding. Euro holds. 1 to 2 feet or more across much of the forum. Need the low to not tuck as tight to the bay as depicted here to bring the CAPE crew into the full fun and chill out osfan24.
EPS --- ensembles are flush hit. East of the more tucked in OP - mean snow from just east of 95 back to Winchester from 8 - 10 inches. Great news for all.
Editor's Note - It doesn't make the scorecard - but the NAVGEM was a massive hit with plenty of backside
PSU in main thread says, in reality, ICON and CMC much like the Euro in evolution - just with crappier thermals - and that you would lean more to Euro for thermals this far out. If so, it is EURO/CMC/ICON vs. GFS/ UKIE heading into the 0z runs tonight.
VERDICT ---- a really great set of runs overall, with GFS having its finger up its nose as it tries to look off of the Euro and CMC tests and catch up. Have to like where we sit with the 0Z runs looming tonight and hoping for a hold from the big boys and the GFS to finish getting a clue.
