osfan24 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 12z GFS looks pretty similar to Euro to me. Maybe a bit more juiced by same general idea. DC looks like a good spot for this one. Not sure it will adjust this far north, but wouldn't take much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing has been able to amplify and ride up the coast. Without that feature we have a lot of sharp cutoffs and thin precip stripes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything ticked north a little bit. why would you hug a 1-2 inch event? If we dont get heavy snow...its over.

nj2va Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 UKMET won't make any friends in DC/NVA. Looks like it cut QPF on the north side from 00z based on the meteocentre maps. Gets maybe .1-.2mm to DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latest op runs and ens seem to give the slp a little bit more of a NE trajectory instead of due E off the coast. Maybe CAPE gets a late inning double off the top of the wall!

snowdude Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 UKMET way south, NAM way south. GFS and CMC basically a “hit” and the EURO has consistently been a hit until it trended south last night. Again, some models are going to bust big time.

Actually ..did you notice there like 3 members that amp this thing into the 990s This is one of the few times that when you are excited I am too for anything but a south trend. Unless this amps and h5 goes over DC of course. I have to sweat temps more if its too amped so need the goldilocks track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasn't the UKMET been South at 48 hours out most of this winter? I mean in the 2/12-13 storm, it had EZF getting like 3-5" of snow at 48 hours and EZF got nothing close, same with a late January storm too, not saying that's the case here, just musing a bit I guess....... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, the NW trend is pretty clear (once off the coast)....I know the caveats of ens this close in but think they can be somewhat useful for spotting red flags. One thing I noticed for our backyards is the separation of clusters once the slp is in CVA along the NC boarder. There is a nice cluster that traverse VA without dipping into NC....and ride off the coast around VA beach. 06z was not even close to portraying this.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scraff Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 So if the 12z GFS is to be believed, all our beautiful Saturday snow (with a better north shift in the coming runs) will be washed away in the follow up threats. Just making sure I have it down until the King comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87storms Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 just checked out the 12z gfs. much better. i could be wrong, but i feel like the upper levels imply this could come north a tad bit more. just need that repellant in the northeast to be less impactful.

Actually ..did you notice there like 3 members that amp this thing into the 990s I'm not feeling it for us. Wish I was. This was the GEFS from 18z yesterday....that was a look that had my attention. This right here was a good look for our area This less so...this screams "fringed" with "some" snow but significant 4"+ snows staying south of us. Yea it could shift...but we are getting kinda close here... It's inside 48 hours, but more importantly the wave is taking mostly a west to east trajectory so the changes needed to get heavy snow up into our area would have to come pretty soon in the next run or two. Once this wave is out in the central states its pretty much locked in what happens to the east imo. I would be pretty excited if I still lived in northern VA or down towards Chill. But I think north of 70 is probably looking at a "fringe" with 1-3" totals most likely or maybe even worse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it’s fun to track something that wasn’t a thing 3 days ago. eta: and each run is going to tighten the envelope. I’m thinking it ends up a Montclair jackpot 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
