What I’m trying to figure out is how intense bands will be at the outer edges, and where subsidence might also play with the influence of a low that intense bombing off the coast.
having lobes of intense s/w energy in the flow should help make the precip field fairly expansive regardless.
Bar IMBY is 3”, and IVT might have a lot to say about that. I do think the gfs is likely most accurate with early stage qpf that might get 1-2” down early on then root for the IVT. In that zone, someone is going to get dumped.
In general, this set up is so fragile that microscopic differences upstream involving the phasing and tilting of the trough could have substantial surface differences, even in the final 24 hours.
I think for our areas, it looks like the IVT is key but I do expect a wider swath on the western edge with all of the energy moving through. It is a classic pass.
I honestly don’t even like it that much at the surface given how good the damn h5 is. I guess we just need to see the sw dig south a bit more. OR that clipper piece could phase in…
I think you missed my post because it was at the end of a page, but you made the changes and improvements sound overstated this run. Then you did post an h57 trend that was noise differences
I agree sir, well said. The trend is towards bigger totals, and the h5 continues to improve. Phasing is getting cleaner. Somewhere is getting a historic number at this point.
I’m disappointed in you, you showed the “trend” and it was almost identical at h57 vs 12z at 63. I mean maybe an asshair better, surface was improved I’d say.
