Maybe the 3K is off its rocker but I'm much more interested in 500 mb maps than surface maps right now, not to go Bernie Rayno on all of you!

Makes perfect sense though, since surface maps are gonna be drastically different and shift around a ton, especially with the precip shield.

I think Levi is 100% right. That's a hell of a warm seclusion at 850mb, damn near subtropical-looking in the low levels. No doubt there will be plenty of convection, but it's way overdone. No doubt there will be some important effects from convection, but it's throwing off these NWP runs like mad.

The important thing is that the NS shortwave is slower and gives the southern wave more room and time to go negative.

That would be me. And honestly, being out made it a lot easier. I might have to use this technique more often in the future. 

I'm in the boat with ya. It's been easier this way. If we pull off a miracle I won't be upset at all that I was wrong. But not being overly vested has avoided the emotional roller coaster.

The energy over Kentucky needs to either go away or be phased into the event or else there's going to be a very small western edge of the precip shield.  Should be a major red flag to everyone that only the NAMs and silly spin-offs like the CRAS, AWR and RPM have even advisory level snow west of the Bay.

I have to remind myself the GFS gave us both zip.  These SREFs are just fun to look at.

Yeah this one oozes heartbreak but as many have illuded to it’s nice to be tracking something appreciable in the short range. No matter how it works out.

Yeah, I agree with you. I have no expectations whatsoever, but the tracking has been pretty fun.

And the NAVGEM, CMC, Euro, SREF and JMA. All have at least .1 to 95.

I'll survive whether we score or not. Either way I will move onto or look for the next trackable system in the pipeline. That's what I do after all. :D

Did I miss the time when the SREFs become something other than hot garbage? I actually thought they were being discontinued. 

Nope, they're still hot garbage. Apparently they got an upgrade last year, but so far the SREFs are the most bullish so far

I hope you get gas after you have to eat those words.  :P

Believe me so do I, but having the SREFs lead the charge to get me something shovelable isn’t encouraging. 

Overall you can’t say the trends aren’t encouraging, but I still have my foot on the brake. It’s still a goofy setup with a lot of moving pieces.
