I am promising myself that I am not going to get as invested into this potential as I did in this weekend's storm and it's still far out, but ...

We have a more southwest-based block on the mean, as well as a positive PNA instead of a negative/neutral PNA. We were always relying on overrunning this weekend, which the early phase out west messed up, but this is more of a classic coastal storm look. And maybe less likely to trend NW if we get anything because of the strong blocking.

 

Face it we're all gonna get invested lol!!

I need to stick to my rule of not being invested until about 48 hours out. As soon as I got invested with this one, it went downhill.

6z GFS had it WAY suppressed so that's good news at this stage lol

Yeah, still a little surprised at the model differences, NWS and TV mets, certainly using a blend because if they went all Euro, totals would be lower and they would be sounding the alarms louder.  Will we see capitulation from EURO or all the others toward EURO, is lock in today's runs or tomorrow's?  Also, GFS has the hurricane hunter data in it, as well as EURO, but heard some red taggers saying they should have spent more time on getting data on the high pressure in Canada.

I thought that too, but @WxUSAF cleared that up a couple of pages back in the main thread.  I'll see if I can find the quotes.

Here it is...

It’s been a couple days since reading it, but this afternoon is when the northern energy would be in good sampling range. Fingers crossed that there are some positive changes.

The northern shortwave/s aren’t going to suddenly get sampled better at any particular model cycle. It won’t be a big increase in high quality data like the recon of the Baja low. It will just sort of be progressively moving into a more data-dense region.

12z Nam is def colder run vs 6z.    HRRR at max run  looks ok as well out in Tennessee.  So far good trends.  6z Euro tick colder as well.

Looks like the Nicholson YES reaction is having issues, you will just have to imagine.  Keep the good ju-ju coming Conway.
