skierinvermont Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 I think the main thing at this point is the PV over canada and a piece of energy rotating around it which tries to knock down heights over SE canada. Need that PV to advance farther SE I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skierinvermont Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 That would help so the sw does not dig as far west....... All of the GFS ensemble members that hit us have a stronger/farther SE PV which knocks down heights over SE canada. Some of them are also digging the original sw so far southwest that it gives the PV more time to establish flow over SE canada and new england before the storm arrives. This is also why the ensemble mean has been trending slower and farther east I think. Opposite the trend we often see where slower means farther west. I have very little hope for anybody outside western MA and NNE though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Torchey Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Yeah, I think the clipper is done, That sw moves into canada, If we want to see a storm here we will need all 3 of those scenarios to come into play to get this sw further east, I don't think we can rule anything out and right now, Based on some of the east trends on some of the models and ensembles from today, I think a coastal hugger could come into play, Just my thoughts...... This storm has bwi acy gon bos written all over it, and climo says even a smidge east over the canal. How many times have we seen guidance shift east, when ens means are near the HV, its not going up the Hudson Valley, I can see a track to pitt, then redevelop and go up the canal, but there is no way a primary is going up the HV, sorry its just not.

If the rest of us see frozen, than its a major bonus, but this storm is not cutting west of Detroit, no way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anybody wants it to run the HV but we are running out of meteorological reasons for why it won't. Euro ensemble mean OH to near Albany getting pretty hard to argue against at this point. Need some shifts soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euro ensemble mean OH to near Albany getting pretty hard to argue against at this point. Need some shifts soon. we are going to have to see a whole load of stuff change and change a lot from the currently modeled day 4/5 pattern. maybe we'll start to see some small shifts in guidance and a gradual improvement over the next day or two but i wouldn't expect much. it just isn't the set-up to deliver the goods to most of NE. this has had cutter and/or inland runner written all over it for days and days. it is what it is.

Mr Torchey Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 I wonder if Phil could talk about the situation off the se coast and how that might affect things down the road, pretty stark differences between the 18 and 0z nam. I sure as hell cant figure it out, and the lp on the gfs was off obx as well, and at first was just a cf issue but maybe not?? i dont know? what do you think phil?

Thank you. I didn't feel good about this one Saturday at the gtg, but folks kept telling me it was too early......I could tell the EURO had locked onto a general idea.

40/70 Benchmark Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 I think that at this point folks should just look foreward to the 2nd half of the month and hope that we salvage that because the next 1.5+ weeks are a wash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall somebody saying earlier that it would erode from the modeling, but since then, its only gotten stronger, and in fact the nam even hints at some light precip making it up into the nyc area, I am sure its nothing, but the iso's seem to kink just a tad>? WOuldn't that be crazy if this thing was drawn north friday night? I have seen stranger things happen for sure, thanks phil, I appreciate your wisdom.
