Scrolling through the 500 maps between all the models the NAM isn’t *that* different. I think this just illustrates that the changes to make this big aren’t that large.
If this one totally fails it’s almost spring anyway. Another or week or two and if nothing pops up we can start looking ahead to the first 70 degree days.
Just looking at 6Z euro on TT, if I just woke up from a one week coma and saw that I’d be really pumped. You can still see it does a pivot with precip shield 6Z-12Z Thursday. This will not take a lot of work whatsoever to get this back to a big event for everyone in our sub.
The atmosphere was always going to do what it was going to do. The only thing that’s changing is computer simulations. Chasing the model simulations is only fun if you don’t take them too seriously.
We are basically a modeling error away from a HECS at 120 hours according to the Euro, and if u ask me it’s in the preferred direction for a phasing event like this. It’s fine with me. There are a million alternatives that are worse.
I agree, this feels like that medium range time slot where sometimes they lose it and bring it back to what they were originally showing in the 6-7 day range. We’ll see. I’ll be happy if we can get a cold accumulating snow.
No it’s lower resolution, it takes like hours upon hours of a super computer just to do the euro run once, to run 50 permutations they have to lower it I think just because of computing power limits.
The operational Euro making a large shift with the track of the storm tells me we should rely a little heavier on the ensembles until it steadies. But I like how each operational perturbation the last few days still gets us a MECS.
