4z RAP stopped the bleeding This stuff off NJ coast is ~1-2 hours earlier than shown on NAM... any earlier or more robust western low development helps us...
-
I know what you're referring to... now this is bothering me too lol... I remember dubbing it "mogwai" because multiple pieces of vorticity spawned all these disparate surface lows upon hitting the coast and as a result guidance was a mess... the night before was stressful in this forum... ultimately consolidated west and we had a blizzard I thought it was March 13 2018 blizzard but that was a fujiwara of 2 distinct lows

Hey Jerry sorry juggling other stuff at moment... Major reason 23z RAP stunk vs. 20z RAP is that eastern low refuses to decay and steals best dynamics east faster. Possible. I'm skeptical given the vortmax farther west over KY/WV and associated ground results. It's early, but using surface pressure and wind responses, was trying to see if guidance was too aggressive with that easternmost low.

Agree, that's been the fly in the guidance ointment for days... both from perspective of low placement and conveyor mechanics. See the 21z HRRR... it exemplifies that eastern low refusing to decay and shifting dynamics east faster. I think there's good reason to be skeptical of that with the intense vorticity over KY/WV and results on the ground, and the weaker-than-progged pressure/wind obs of our culprit off NC.

That 21z HRRR run looks strange... the eastern low, which materializes 4z-5z out of not much, refuses to fade the entire run, and so dynamics at our latitude shunt east faster than earlier runs. Stranger things happen, but I'd think the vorticity over KY/WV (apparently with results on the ground) will be the main driver of SLP development.
