You prob wouldn’t be punting this so easily if you were in CT or equivalent latitude. Next week definitely has more pacific support but it could also end up running west of us too.
-
I dunno man…that block isn’t some weak entity. It wouldn’t take much weakening for the storm to be a solid hit, but I don’t see why we should expect it to weaken on future runs…it might weaken, but I think it is just as likely it could come in stronger.
-
Yeah it does. Confluence just crushes it. There’s probably a non-linear response to this though if confluence comes in a little weaker on future runs. You can see how close synoptically it is to a very good storm.
-
Don’t love the confluence. But the ULL is quite a bit more potent in the lakes
-
Saturday is def not looking great but non-GFS suite trends were north at 12z. So I wouldn’t write it off yet. But it’s the type of system you want to see another bump north at 00z. Can’t afford any negative trends. Also pending the euro. If that model doesn’t look any better at 12z, it makes it more of a long shot. Despite it not dominating like it used to, it’s still a top tier model.
-
Well I said we needed some positive trends at 12z and so far we’ve gotten that. We’ll see what the Ukie/euro do but so far it’s been a little better. I do like seeing the ULL pretty far north near CLE/ERI…even more toward BUF on the GFS. Usually it’s hard to whiff us south when you get the ULL that far north.
-
GGEM looks quite a bit north this run.
-
Yeah it was def south through about 72h but it’s made up ground
-
Yeah I may be wrong lol. Stronger shortwave May overcome it.
-
GFS is going to continue to go south this run for Saturday.
-
He knows it is disingenuous. He doesn’t care. Anyone with any modicum of meteorology knowledge knows the pattern has been quite different since about 2/23. There’s a reason CNE/NNE has gone gangbusters in that period and there’s actually been some snow events in SNE as well with potential for more.
-
Gonna need some positive trends at 12z imho for Saturday to be a legit threat.
-
2-3 days apart isn’t that weird at all. Esp for March with those blockier patterns and shorter wavelengths. Now if they were 24 hours apart it would be much harder.
-
Nice western ridge on that one.
-
Keep this thread clean and on topic. This is an actual storm thread....we have a banter thread
-
Lets get a 3/29/84 redux
-
I also think there's two issues that I wasn't clear on above....the trend out west got better on all the guidance. We saw more wave spacing than on the 00z runs. However, some of the guidance like the Euro and GGEM got blockier out east which shunted the system south of us so we weren't able to take advantage of the better trends out west for the 3/11 threat.
-
Euro/EPS trend wasn't very good, but as long as it doesn't keep moving that way at 00z, I'm not really inclined to buy a full-on whiff for storm #1 yet. Could easily come back north a bit which certainly wouldn't be unusual this season. But that isn't really what I was looking for from that suite at 12z....it's not on an island either.
-
EPS might like the 2nd wave more than the first one, kind of like the OP.
-
Nice Ray jackpot. Anyways, total clown range on that one...we'll see how the 3/11 deal trends as that will impact anything behind it most likely.
-
Yeah it's going to try and amplify the trailing energy now that round 1 was pretty weak.
-
I'll be shocked if the Euro doesn't whiff southeast this run...looks super compressed/blocky.
-
It's only the GFS that tucked it....we have 2 whiffs southeast this 12z suite too (Ukie/GGEM)....There's still plenty of variance in model solutions at the moment despite getting a little bit more clarity in the past 12-24 hours.
-
Well the GGEM did something similar...its the inability for the shortwave/ULL to produce sufficient downstream ridging to curl this thing northward....look at the heights on the eastern fringe there...they are going south in Maine and trying to go north near ACK....they can't get any further north because of that confluence. Need just a little more room.
-
Ukie having the same trend out west. Clearly this is something all 12z guidance sees. Every single model at 12z has had the same trend out west of amplifying that ridge a little more with a bit more wave spacing. That is good because it increases the upside in this storm if we're looking for a big dog. (the storm actually whiffs us south on the Ukie...but that is mostly irrelevant at the moment)
