The latitude of the vort as it is exiting the east coast is fine. Wouldn't be a biggie, but could work. However, the orientation is all wrong. It's positively tilted which is why the surface reflection is just north of Bermuda.
Blame New York…they’ve blocked the last handful of pipeline projects into New England. Endless supply of gas just down the road, but can’t get it here because New York is in the way.
I know. And I'm commenting on the fact that for the last storm, the models chased convection/mesolows, but in reality the system didn't and ended up further northwest.
Taking the NAM verbatim, but from this image your telling me the precip wall stops at I95? The bigger issue might just be the surface dew points and it falling out as virga. Eh maybe not, its not that dry.
The 00z Euro op verbatim is really a useless event. 2-3" of snow followed by 0.5" of rain. All in about 6-8 hours. If you wake up to 2" of snow and its washed away by noon, did it even happen?
At H500, hour 54, it nearly closes off south of Long Island and then at hour 57 its wide open again. If we could get it to close completely at 57 then I think more than just P-Town would be in the game.
Parade of storms, but verbatim none of them actually have a good high to the north so they're all questionable in SNE. I chuckled when in my head I went: whiff, cutter, NNE, mixed event, mixed event, whiff.
For those of us who would prefer this not track up the Hudson or CT River valley...what trends do you think we should keep an eye out for in future runs? Besides the obvious of a storm being present.
The whole trough axis 100 miles east, weaker northern stream diving in, greater or less spacing between the southern and northern streams?
