The GFS solution went from weenie wishcasting to having the NAM and SREFS on its side plus the AI’s are just a little too east with the coastal (but have trended west). Euro and UKIE with no coastal storm impact.
We pretty much get another day of constant model watching one way or the other!
One thing annoying me in the MA thread is the “it’s only the IVT giving us snow.” They’re connected. The strength and location of the coastal impacts the IVT. One works off the other. I don’t think we are relying 100% on the IVT and 0% coastal low influence.
I’ve been on the road traveling for work this week, but the tracking for this event has been wild. Check out the Euro AI on TT and how much the coastal low moved northwest vs 12Z. This season has not disappointed on the tracking front!
Early worry (of which I’ll have many!) is that a miller B type evolution will trend towards a later transfer and a northeast bullseye solution over time. Of course, it’s just one worry and it’s early yet.
I don’t disagree, but the current solution as modeled is better than the precip missing us to the south by 300 miles. At least we have a shot with the precip now.
With the OP Euro being decent and some of the ensembles interested, I think I can emotionally invest in this one. At least until TimB5412487 comes in and tells me the latest model is way south and weak.
I agree we are running out of time, but I’m not quite out on this threat yet when the GFS ensembles look like this. Check out number 5. Close enough to keep the thrill of “the track” alive!
