Seems like most guidance is honing in on a coastal hit for parts of DE and S NJ with lighter stuff N and W. Im sure we will have more wobbles but the general idea of extreme S Jersey being the jack zone seems pretty solid right now. -

We blame convective feedback. Weenie handbook chapter 6 section 2 titled "but the low should be closer to the coast shouldn't it?". -

Fv3 at 60 isnt as diggy with the lead shortwave so the trailing one has more of a chance to catch it and phase. -

Ralph Wiggum replied to Maestrobjwa's topic in Mid Atlantic
I was thinking that too. So.much separation between the waves heights actually rise in front of the trailing wave. I suppose that helps with the positive vorticity advection aspect but the full phase and capture is not on the 0z nam. -

Nice confluence as well. Alot of little pieces coming together. -

Backside energy has slowed if you review past 2 or 3 nam runs. Might be a wash with the faster tilt but slower sw on the back. Not sure yet. -

Hurricane went on to say the European is superior and the gfs should not be believed and the gefs dont agree with it. Dont shoot the messenger. -

Ralph Wiggum replied to Mikeymac5306's topic in Philadelphia Region
Funny thing is, gfs keeps doubling down even slight improvements each run....but its not like other guidance is trending bigly the other way. There has been very slow/subtle shifts across other guidance even giving a slight nod to the GFS. I dont think the GFS is 100% accurate by any means, but a 6hr change in timing of the shortwave in question on other guidance and boom the GFS suddenly has legs. We'll see. Being a betting man Im putting the mortgage on the gfs being the outlier though. -

It has done this 4 times already this season and stubbornly caved starting at 2.5 days lead time. Why will this be any different? -

I trust Hurricane Schwartz, Larry Cosgrove, and even dare I say DT more than a FB blurb only posting model output.
