Any support within the GEFS? 

Not that i can see. Through d8 there isn't a single member that has mostly snow. Plenty of good solutions but nothing remotely close to the cold/deep snow solution the fv3 has. 

I'm not saying there is no chance for a sweet closed low with a good track but there needs to be a lot more support for the idea than a single run of the fv3.

@Bob Chill

From an individual GEFS members standpoint what kind of an event are they pointing too? Fv3 is on a island by itself and has a 0% chance of verifying ,but do most give us a modest snow event prior to raining on us? TT doesn't give much detail for individual members.

Thank you in advance. Much appreciated.

Through d6 it's pretty much equally divided with not much at all, decent but not great, and warning level. Overall a moderate event or larger is favored 2:1 over nuisance or non-event.

The whole thing has a lot of moving parts with timing and outcomes spread pretty wide. By Friday we should hopefully see some sort of consensus emerge

Look all I’m saying is he’s saying there’s a 0% chance of verifying that’s just wrong info that’s all. Also the gfs FV3 nailed November 15th snowstorm while the gfs initialized rain during the snowstorm

Friday still feels aggressive to me for a Monday-Tuesday event

Not too early for some sort of consensus though. Like support for the same general progression. Not locked in or anything. If we are going to get snow it's likely to be a nailbiter into the short range.

Agree I can even see a run or two tomorrow where the models show partly sunny on Tuesday

As early as  hour 96 already substantial differences out west with our ball of energy. Gfs keeps a solid 1 peace and Fv3 splits in 2 ejecting a piece that becomes the Hecs :D. Man..I'll dream that all other guidance trends to the new and improved Gfs at 0z.

Fv3 

That's a major -PNA though.

Mentioned that this morning that it’ll be this weekend where we’ll start pegging down the overall upper level progression. Moving pieces galore. It’s never easy to get a big storm in the MA. If the FV3 run is right, I’ll use it to forecast for every storm the rest of the year exclusively.

Love the nail biter.  Gives me a reason to wake up in the morning.  But I have learned not to stay awake for the overnight runs.. they are a turd

We really need an opposite of Doctor No which seems to always take a perfect scenario and drive daggers into weenie hearts. It would be nice to have a model especially a US model that could do the opposite and take a hopeless situation and turn it into a positive solution where other guidance slowly caved to it.

We all know it probably isn’t but it has had 5 straight runs with a coastal now. Will be interesting to see if it flips tonight.

You made me look!  Good catch....also note that as the run progresses the GFS puts another ULL just west/over Hudson Bay.  FV3 has ridging and the system can continue to dig under us.  Not out of the question the GFS is wrong with the placement of that feature...or even it's existence at all.  Same goes for the FV3 tho...who knows? Ha!

Exactly!  Almost every storm around here is a nail biter (except 2016, of course).  I look forward to checking on overnight progress and reading Showmesnow’s analysis every morning!

Coastal isn’t out of the cards for sure, but that H5 progression was straight of the KU books. Until we see models flip to something like that, FV3 might be off its rocker. Fun to look at though. One can only hope.

I’m sure people in here would love to see it happen to me just to get that to come to fruition. Overall, it’s different on multiple pieces compared to other guidance. Need to see more trends toward it and for it to hold on to a similar evolution. Something tells me our progression answers are still a few days away.

ICON is a complete disaster in relation to H5 vs FV3. Not even close. Wants to phase even farther West.

I'm more interested late Sunday- early Tuesday. I think we could have a good event and then be washed away by the cutter  on Wednesday.
