Do we value them? Is AI doing better than the regular Euro?

Euro AI itself is a massive hit for us in the moderate interior. But trusting any OP right now is asking for trouble. 
 

I think we’d take a model blend right now and run.

How does the EPS look?

They look a bit juicier than the OP in terms of amplification but not by much. But that’s prob a good sign we’re gonna see model convergence. Betting OP is still a bit too flat

 

[WinterWolf]

I’m no MET, but that’s not a bad look at this juncture imo.  Thank you for posting Will.

Man, NAM is out to lunch but I would take my chances riding those dynamics in Greenfield, despite my low elevation. 

[dendrite]

NAM is still very amped. Nice model battle. Back to bed.

Tuesday

Snow, mainly after 9am. The snow could be heavy at times. High near 32. Calm wind becoming east around 6 mph in the morning. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New snow accumulation of 6 to 10 inches possible.

Tuesday Night

Snow likely, mainly before 2am. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 18. Northwest wind 6 to 9 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%. New snow accumulation of 2 to 4 inches possible

[ORH_wxman]

GFS came in a little colder too. Maybe we’ll get a GFS/Euro convergence today.

C'mon, that's a ridiculous forecast lol. The forward speed of this won't allow for accumulations that high imo.

Rates could be wild for a bit if things break right.. 6z GEFS mean bumped up to 7 for here

GFS cooled off pretty good and lost the double barrel thing. Looks decent

Aren't they always the most cautious. They are the same with their temp outlooks too.

Looks like a GFS/NAM leaning forecast

Looks like a very bad forecast 

[mahk_webstah]

GYX is aggressive here with 5-9 in zones plus more in the early evening.  Going with blend on qpf of .7-1.0

[Kitz Craver]

Anecdotally my phone forecast went from 1-3” with .5 rain before I went to bed back up to 7-9” this morning. Doesn’t mean much, but happy it didn’t go the other way for what it’s worth

I truly wouldn't put much stock into their forecast. It's going to change.

[dendrite]

This is how much the euro AI changed in 36hrs to the current 6z run

It’s really coming down to intensity and how mid-levels act. Euro is just a bit more organized, mitigating any warm air intrusion beyond the south coast, while the GFS brings that further inland about 30 miles.
