I am out in Bethlehem, PA - not really expecting anything. What is crazy are some of those EPS members. By my count 10 of those 50 members would give me 12” +. Brings new definition to the term “Go big or go home.”
The wild card in all this is what will come from the data collected on the recon flight today and the 3 additional flights tomorrow. The data from today’s flight is expected to reflect in the 0z model suite.
The Euro was the model that went nuts with this one in recent runs. The other models were further east or going that direction. The NAM went big on this this morning for that one run.
On the NHC website they have indicated that they are flying three more winter recon flights tomorrow. One flight will be over the Atlantic and two more over the PAC. This could lead to more model gyrations over the next 24 hours.
I got two feet a year ago. I knew I was very unlikely to get anything substantive from this one. This was always going to be a coastal event assuming it would happen. I feel sorry for you guys on the coast with this latest turn of events on the models.
Ant - the shortwaves expected to be involved with this system were more completely sampled today. This was noted on this thread earlier. The new data went through the algorithms used by the models. Unfortunately the result of that is what we see.
If anything close to this were to happen or if the media starts throwing around the numbers we just saw I would not want to even consider the lines that will be forming at the grocery stores near you. The pre-existing supply chain issues would be an additional complication.
If you’re near I95 it is too early to rule out anything. It’s the well north and west guys like myself who will likely get very little if anything from this one.
