I don't know why we can't have simple, nice snow events that cooperate any more. Looking back at 1996, it was spotted 5-6 days out and had winter storm watches posted 3 days out, with Winter Storm Warnings 24 hours out. That shows up as an analog on the packages today but we still have complete chaos. From a near miss on the ICON to that amped monster on the UKIE, and we're basically 4 to 5 days out with modeling upgrades that are comparable to a model t vs a Tesla.

Two 1030+ highs to the north of us and it just cuts right between them... seems strange that it's so much more amplified than previous runs, and the only model showing that, but somehow a cutter wouldn't surprise me

Yeah I don’t see

I'm not sure about freezing rain vs sleet on the AI. 850s are warm, but 925s are subfreezing over a lot of the areas that are getting precip. Not sure how thick the sub-freezing layer is above 925, and I'm not sure how deep the subfreezimg layer needs to be to produce sleet vs freezing rain.

If you go to the next frame and then compare to non AI, you will see why it attacks that way

Oh absolutely, I just don’t buy what the model is suggesting. Banana slipping that? It’s possible and if it does it’ll be the reason you stayed above brother.

Both AI systems have the HP weakening and sliding off to the east way before the non AI mods...a low will attack the western side of the Apps in that situation

So is the difference between the UKIE/Euro AI and GFS/CMC/ICON a timing issue? If the storm takes too long to get here, it amplifies and gives time for the eastern HP to move out, letting it attack the weakness in the banana high?
