Hvward Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 So heres sign #1 that this is going to overperform.. Odessa & Midland, TX are seeing snow right now, and its been snowing for the last 2-3 hours. Per Midland NWS twitter some areas have a dusting. No models showed this, not even the 12z NAM 3km or the most recent HRRR run. They showed a blip of snow possible in Central TX, but nothing in far West TX. Thought that was interesting.

One theme is emerging, the globals are playing catch-up to the higher resolution models. In normal cases, this would be a strong indicator that the final track and strength has not been determined yet. Trust the short term high res models. They have a better handle on what is happening with this evolving pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kind of dewpoints were we talking out there? Were they a little more moist to support this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought that was interesting.I lived close to the Permian Basin in San Angelo, TX. If you think people in NC can't drive in snow, carry your happy butt to West TX when it snows and take a look at people that really can't drive in snow.

None of the Global models have this feature: If I didn't know any better, just looking at that radar presentation, I would swear that there is a low trying to form in the Gulf.

Temp of 23 degrees right now In Odessa with a dew point of 14 degrees. HRRR & Nam 3k seemed to model the dew point correctly for this point in time, the precipitation is just absent. I do however believe that dew points will be a little warm then forecasted, widening the baroclinic zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One more shift left to Hatteras will require a surface LP to initiate in the GM. I just don't see how this can keep jogging 75 miles west over and over again if the primary LP fires off the coast of GA/FL.

Wouldn't that insinuate that all layers were saturate to make it to the ground, where the global models are handling incorrectly? Will it make it back to you?

I saw that too. Mind you, it's just one model one. But I am intrigued, especially now. If we did see a low form in the GOM, wouldn't that put more parts of GA, SC and NC in the game? Or is the lp too far south to make a difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking back at yesterdays 12z run of the 3km NAM and Dew points around the area of Odessa, TX where forecasted to be around 8 degrees at this time.. so looks like it busted by 5+ degrees 24 hours out. I guess we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s be generous and put you in .4, which would probably get me into two tenths. Seriously. If we keep seeing this thing move west, it’s possible.

BullCityWx Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 we are seeing less QPF to the NW and W because the modeling is expecting us to have a lot of virga due to the current airmass? Just a theory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is 24-30 hours from Atlantic low forming. Need this due south of Charleston not ILM. We will see if there is a miracle...doubt it though. Still, 990 low there is big Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
