Big 1037 HP at 150hr sprawling over the low, centered over WI !. Yesterday's runs were over NE or just offshore Cold air is ready and waiting. HP isn't going to slide out on this run. Snow breaking out over NE GA and NW SC. Low over New Orleans.
12z GFS so far more separation between the jets at 126. Don't want much interaction between the two while it works east. Also a good trend of slowing down the northern wave to keep our front-end HP in place
Good news is the models seem to keep her moving west rather than a stall and turn SW.. good news at least for the coast. More headache for inland though.
Obviously it depends. This is a very difficult storm to model with it potentially stalling out. Depending where it drifts will determine a lot where the biggest rainfalls occur, obviously. Wind-wise, a northern SC hit would likely be the worst case.
Indeed.. there is still a good bit of complexity here to easily shift things 100 or more miles in either direction. SC to VA are all equally in the crosshairs IMO
Indeed. While seeing the 0z Euro precip totals for WNC was quite a breathtaking thing to see this morning, in reality I don't want to see that again on a model run. I'll gladly take a nice soaking rain with some gusty winds on the west side.
I know we've heard the name Hugo a few times with this one, but if the Euro is anywhere near correct, this would be far, far worse than Hugo for WNC with the flooding.
