If I push a special code into Tropical tidbits do you think I can make the Euro AIFS come out faster??
up, up, down, down, x,y,x,y, then pause and select at the same time.
It seems like we are still in the wibble-wobble phase of the Euro AI. In like 36 hours or so, if it follows what it did with this last system, it'll be pretty well locked in.
I was kind of surprised that the Euro AIFS jumped so far north at 12z. It booted the Baja low low fully out for the 25th system.
Plain old Euro OP does it too.
A lot rests on what happens to that Baja low. Previous runs had it waiting to kick out for the 28-9th system on the Euro AIFS.
The Euro AIFS ensemble's control was a real weenie run at 6z:
That said, I'm not sure how the AIFS ensemble is doing. I've seen people say it counts sleet as snow, and it overdoes the sorts of maps above.
After this last system, I think a "split the difference approach" to the 6z Euro AIFS and 6z GFS is probably reasonable for 1/24-5.
Not a bad look for the northern 2/3rds of TN.
For the general idea of the patter even 200 hours out the Euro AI has been pretty darn good:
There is a little bit of bouncing around with the northern stream for a few runs, but damn...
I have noticed it has had a little bit of a progressive bias (note the NW trend on this weekend) from 120 hours out:
But for basic idea of the pattern, it is looking sharp right now.
If we account for elevation of OHX, looks like freezing level is probably around 2500ish feet? Not really sure how to precisely use teh tool below though.
