8-10 on ukmet
Seems like guidance is starting to converge on 4-6” from the WAA. Higher potential from the coastal but that’s where guidance diverges right now so who knows.
Yes, I’d love a HECS but right now, that’s a low probability.
WHAT? This is breaking news to me.
GFS took another step to the Euro IMO. GGEM took a bigger step and was close to a Euro-like solution....get the phase more south and you’d be happy (maybe).
Also...can you take the ‘sent from my’ off your posts?
84 hours from snow making it into DC and the GFS and Euro couldn’t be more different. It does seem like GFS took another step to the Euro (and as PSU pointed out, ICON would have been a Euro-like solution had the phase been cleaner).
I loved the WAA on both 00z models tonight though.
Through 72, the vort is stronger than prior runs which has been a big difference from the Euro. GFS weakens the vort as it heads east whereas Euro holds/strengthens.
So little data available with this model but it looks like 0.5”+ snow for DC from the WAA. Similar for Winchester. Seems like places south of Baltimore miss out on the coastal action just by looking at the total precip maps.
It’s such a wonky evolution. I like the WAA a lot.
It’s not a coastal rider. The SLP panels are on WxBell already and it forms near OBX then heads NE about 100 miles off ORF then heads NW from there and makes “landfall” at ACY.
There is no reputable model that is a total whiff or mostly rain. Even the “disaster” GFS is 3-6” WAA/dry slot or rain to snow showers on the back-end.
Yes, this is not locked in by any means to a solution but its hard to argue against the consistency of the EPS.
I do the same at Deep Creek....when I was there for MLK weekend, at one point I just laid down and looked up at the sky as the snow fell on me. I probably have a problem. Lol
