Much appreciated, haha. I'll admit to having never seen the show (before my time ) but love the problem. It's so non-intuitive but easy to explain at the same time... kind of fascinating.
With pretty much everything showing at least 1" I feel pretty good about not getting totally screwed.
My imaginary over/under is 1.5" for inside the Beltway. Seems reasonable
i've been looking at the runs and not necessarily seeing the jumps south others are mentioning. It must be a litttle bit, but is it not more the shortwave trending stronger and our favorable position within the left exit region of the jet stream?
RGEM looks a hair better on the early maps - don't think it'll be the NAMs but shouldn't be getting any worse
edit: def a modest push south and a little wetter
I think it actually looks like a better vort pass than the 12k NAM… NAM just looks a little negatively tilted and I think that helps out with the coastal side of things, even for spots DC/east Apologies for attempting analysis hope it’s not too off
Ground temps were a slight problem for DC-east, that’s true. The NAM wasn’t offering a cold smoke solution. Imagine it wouldn’t have any trouble on the grass, though, especially if we maintain snow cover through tomorrow, which we mostly should.
It actually gets the .2” line basically to DC. Kuchera is worse than the 10:1 looking at it. Unfortunately Leesburg looks like Kansas during the dust bowl. Sorry friend
