psuhoffman Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 1 minute ago, WxUSAF said: yup, was just thinking about this. I'd rather go back to a juiced up WAA overrunning with a primary low in KY that transfers to the coast. GGEM is more like this with about the same result given a weaker CCB from the coastal. me too but nothing comes easy, this can still work IF even for me IF the system is slightly more amplified but that's too many if's for my liking. Would rather go back to the easy can't miss idea of a WAA thump into a cold high and not be worrying about phasing and perfect track and all that jazz...definitely like the chances down your way better than up here ATT.

The coastal idea ups the ante BUT it could also rob the WAA and dynamics from the initial wave (or that could ride north of us) and then the coastal could be mostly a miss for places NW of 95. That would be the doomsday scenario here. Of course at this range its equally likely the coastal ends up slightly more amplified and is a hit for all. I guess it depends on if your a glass half empty/full kinda person. But this setup is higher risk reward. Yeah that snow map FWIW is no friend to me.

The storms that missed us to the southeast the last 2 Januarys were miller a storms. Not every miller a becomes a HECS for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the go big scenario but I agree that we could end up watching the coastal miss us to the east, which would be agonizing after last season.

SomeguyfromTakomaPark Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 CMC is also a nudge NW with the QPF. So far the 12z suite is unanimous with 3-4 inches falling in DC proper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The storms that missed us to the southeast the last 2 Januarys were miller a storms. Not every miller a becomes a HECS for us. And looking at the GFS you can see a little bit of the potential for some of the analogs you mentioned yesterday. Going to be quite a ride over the next few days for better or worse.

LP08 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 FV3 is insistent in sending the WAA into PA. Better temps on the 12z run however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realize its a tit for tat scenario, but as we've been seeing the elongated structure, I'd just think that if that were to happen, while losing some forcing, we still have enough for that to happen.

Looks Miller b or hybrid to me with a triple point and forced to redevelop around that strong HP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's caving to other guidance. Figured as much. The amped to the west idea was an island. That said, it's a good run. All snow and decent QPF. Looks like around .50 for majority of the area. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea we are one happy family but unfortunately there are kind of two climos in here. The nw 1/3 of this forum would much prefer the idea from a couple days ago of a storm coming up to our west into the TN Valley and a big WAA thump. The coastal idea can work here too but it can also be a total fail as we have experienced lately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lift is obviously not strong given the weak low and lack of strong frontogenesis, but there's a deep dendrite growth layer throughout the storm. Should be good for nice ratios. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's likely we still have more twists and turns to go. But I like simple and this is complicated. Complicated often ends up without snow on my lawn.

It was way out there with the amped up runner. Less spread now. I'm not sure I like the Fv3 at this point. Old GFS seems to be better overall but too early to tell.

Amped Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I agree with JI. 2-4 is fine for a clipper, but I'd expect more from a Miller B with a 1040 high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
