MD Snow Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Just now, Bob Chill said: GFS made no friends in the upper levels. It's hard to distinguish between noise and trends though. Agreed. When we get close to game time we take a 25-50 mile switch in precip shield as a trend when in the grand scheme of things it's just noise. This was not a good run but let's wait to see 12z GEFS, GEPS and EPS before talking trends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the storm is beyond 72 hours but the utility of ens will be over @ 12z today imho. 12z ops should be given the most weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87storms Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 it's a pretty flat look. the storm doesn't gain enough latitude and there's really nothing that keeps it from shooting ots. gonna need everything to be further north, but 500 isn't inspiring at all. at least we have temps on our side, so any scraps from the first part should stick.

So what would be your response if the 12z ensembles were split between a larger coastal solution for our area and a miss to the south like they have been showing?

Scraff Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 That was ugly. A few drawn out inches on Snow TV? Anyone worried that the mountains could start robbing us of even the WAA. The thought just crossed my mind. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah things are not going in our favor right now. without the WAA (which is getting drier it seems), there won't be much to talk about once the coastal takes over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestrobjwa Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 So I mean...We haven't deviated much from the general 2-4" that been the forecast all week, right? If that is still the most likely solution, we oughta count anything else as a bonus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

batmanbrad Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 at least for me in central MoCo, the CMC more than doubled the snowfall (7", vs. 3") from its 0z run. Yes it's the Canadian, but we can hope... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still somewhat encouraging the EPS hasn’t given up on the coastal completely yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the GEFS has a large majority showing more qpf and better progression then it's a sign that the op might be wrong but it needs to be overwhelming. If it's anywhere near an equal split then hedging with the op's version will win more battles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That system crashing into CA is a big problem...it undercuts the western ridge and links up with the elongating/compressing trough and helps to flatten it even more which pretty much kills any chance for the coastal to amplify.
