Love seeing the totals there in a correction run. Have to think of more phasing occurs those numbers are between rich and Baltimore areas. Shows what kind of potential this has and that run didn’t even do the full Monty.
Love that the run looks really solid but this looks as a major upside option. The ceiling for this is definitely a HECS level event, even if not likely.
It’s a really nice course correction from 12z taking the mass fail scenario back to close to off table. Seeing its AI be way better at 18z also helps a whole lot.
I actually would lean towards reality ending up a pretty clean phase if we can get those pieces where this frame has them. Nice correction back in the right direction for the gfs.
Some of the models have shown the n/s getting a little quick, which wouldn’t kill the storm quite like the Baja s/w getting buried, but it would reduce the probability of long duration precipitation and some Of the high end upside.
Time for the real 18z models..and a Prozac. Main focus is efficient release of the Baja s/w and no further slowing of that and timeline on arrival of precip.
What I really see here is the major divergence more so would come between the 84-108 window of time…none of these are that much different from a NA500 hemispheric perspective.
Yet zwyts can post here to tell us he can’t post here? It was confusing.
i too agree with the EPS trend gif being my favorite part of 12z, maybe minus the UK thrashing us all again
The euro has been insistent on the “part 2” picking up the slack on its runs. Later hours allows the low to creep north and the n/s element keeps the snow guns on for quite a while.
It helped a ton that it snowed for long duration and the phasing got DC/Balt into the goods there after h129. Wide precip field. Through 129 there wasn’t that great of totals Qpf wise.
It’s kinda crazy too because it was a historic top “couple” DEC storms of all time for our region and 20” totals in plenty of spots, and it happened relatively easy. There wasn’t a ton of sweat in that tracking either minus the little north creep at the end to really get everyone.
