Yeah you basically are going to go from good snows to almost nothing. That GFS gradient is way too diffuse. Almost all that would be offshore the south coast.
-
Man, if that ML fronto can clip the cape or islands, they could get a pretty good storm. Too bad this wasn’t just a bit phased with northern stream.
-
Totally different pattern though. Not really analogous except in the loose sense that guidance could be wrong on the setup…but with a huge western ridge, it’s pretty unlikely we end up warm….unlike the extremely deep RNA trough where we ended up mostly on the wrong side of the gradient plus all those systems getting shredded during the times we were cold enough for snow.
-
Yeah regardless of 1/7, the pattern legit looks deep winter after that. Obviously getting a good system on 1/7 first is optimal, but it’s hard to see how we don’t get a lot of good chances beyond that unless guidance is clueless.
-
It’s all northern stream. We also don’t have a big western ridge yet when this storm happens so the flow is going to be pretty progressive…which will be competing with no downstream blocking. It will be a fast mover it looks like.
-
This thing is still 5 days out. Getting closer to more trust-worthy model lead time but I’d really wait another 2-3 cycles before getting confident.
-
There’s definitely a nice cluster near the BM but there’s definitely another set of lows that hug a bit more between NYC and BOS.
-
06z EPS members…still decent spread but tightening up compared to yesterday
-
Yeah here’s the tickles south again. The southern stream in this system is potent so the hallucinations are going to be epic.
-
Wonder if we can get another 60 miles today on the models. My guess is this is the max tease level and now it starts slinking S again.
-
Man, that’s gonna be painful watching the epic radar slide east when it’s nearing the south coast.
-
Cape could def get clipped by the goods with one more tick NW on some of these solutions. Back in the interior we are toast barring another 2/5/16 trend. These systems are always ugly though on the northern edge of the QPF gradient. Tons of dry air and a stiff N or NNW wind vector. So you really need to be a solid 30 miles into the modeled precip shield to feel decent about getting anything.
-
We need the northern stream to be weaker and sheared but it isn’t playing ball. That southern vort keeps strengthening but if the northern one does too then it’s prob not enough for us. Chris was talking about the competing forces there earlier and it’s a good way to put it.
-
I’m not biting yet. Though I have one eye on it now. Hard to get such a big move close in but it happened in the 2/5/16 event.
-
Jerry confirmed what I was going to respond with…yeah, it’s a 5 day mean vs a single point in time map. That last map was for hour 360 at the end of the run.
-
Yeah Scott is right…that is the best EPS look we’ve had all winter and probably since 2018 if you love snow and deep cold going with it. I’m still being a little cautious given the struggles guidance has had…but it’s a good sign that the start of that pattern is now inside of D10.
-
Fwiw, this is the very end of the EPS run. You can see the western ridge retrograding a bit but we also are forming a N ATL ridge with the PV on our side of the pole. It’s a very cold look.
-
EPS still looks very cold going into mid-month.
-
Yeah that’s great looking. Sucks that it’s 6 days out still. I’d be getting pretty pumped if we were 84-96 hours instead Anyways, here’s the individual plot members
-
Yeah it’s further north anyways than other guidance. I’d toss it.
-
All the QPF on the northern 25 miles of Monday's system is prob going to be Virga.
-
That type of phased PNA/EPO ridge in the second image is a very cold pattern historically. So it wouldn’t surprise me to see a very strong arctic outbreak at some point if that verifies.
-
Here was last nights EPS…first map is 5 day mean between D5-D10 and the next one is days 11-15
-
06z eps has a pretty big spread…not a tight cluster
-
We traded with Seattle for 2-3 weeks. At least the EPS continues to improve. Looks even better than 12z did.
