The pac giving the models problems. Play gfs/icon vs cmc H5 and you can sort of see why they’re doing what they’re doing. I don’t like that the 6z euro is camp cmc, but hopefully that changes here soon
Here is ukie, Gotta see temps first not sure where it goes from there. CMC has completely different spacing vs icon/gfs/ukie. Would like to see the euro/ai be in the good camp. PAC is likely to give models some issues next 2 days or so until the progression is settled on
Hard to get excited until we see the cmc and euro come on board. Wave spacing coming off the pac is the reason we’re seeing large differences in the models. Let’s see what rest of 12z shows
Didn’t see it posted, but 18z euro op looked potent end of run, strong main shortwave, there was a ULL NW of Maine about to swing SE and nice compressed flow ahead of our shortwave
Right there with ya. Second big “what if” event of the year. The ensemble members/few OP runs that dove that N/S farther W produced MECSs. Sucks knowing how close we were to something big.
24th range still has an outside chance. It’s the next time frame that could produce snow. Couple shortwaves track east from the western trough, knocking down the ridge some. If we can time the last of the bunch well it could work out. 6z euro Ai gave us a modest event.
Last time I saw it used was 2020 storm and it did well. Obviously we’re not getting 20” unless this is a jan25 2000 bust This has been one of the more interesting storms I’ve tracked. The high end ensemble members kind of make me depressed because it just shows what a full phase could have done
I’m not sold on Ai solution. Something like the Euro OP makes more sense to me. Still, weird to see changes this much at 72 hours, goes to show you how fragile this phase is
