First Legit Storm Potential of the Season Upon Us

From what I've gathered, verification stats have had Euro AI ensemble and EPS as pretty much neck and neck...sometimes the AI has had a slight edge but definitely not the magic bullet that some people imply. The AI has done better with individual storms, especially this hurricane season, but it also got its clock cleaned in others. Just like with every other model. My two cents is there is promise, but the jury is still out on when they are most useful and to what extent. There will always be limitations when the models are mostly data-driven instead of physics based. 

I never imagined this forum diverge into a discussion about AI 

Admittedly, your last sentence is difficult to accept. I'm sure most of us feel the same too.

To add to the discussion, here's the 12z ensemble spread and diagnostic prate/type at 90hr... Still uncertainty amongst the ensembles/models so we're not entirely dead yet.

If I had to stratify it as is (for measurable precipitation), I'd call it the AIs+ICON+CMC vs. GFS+ECMWF+UKMET.

Icon with a move east.

Reggie with a move west. Prob wrong but still plenty of model disagreement.

Quite surprised how that looked....it was west with Saturday too, but would sacrifice Saturday for the look Sunday. The timing is odd too, snowing here on Sunday, early morning

I just looked. Nice little event

Reggie is like Brady Anderson.  One big season.   11 years ago

18z GFS west but not west enough

AIGFS another “solid it”

Yep tick tick

Good shift west in gfs and AI is solid

Ya that’s a big shift from 12z, rgem and rrfs with gfs moving west at least give the AIs some backup

the RGEM is actually really similar to the AI models... has the main precip with the PVA ahead of the main vort

GFS AI has been relatively steadfast.

I don't agree with this at all. I think it leads many people off a cliff. People think their intuition regarding loosely defined concepts like "pattern" is superior to supercomputers developed specifically to model exactly what's possible in the atmosphere. It's pure ego. 

I, well I really don't get that at all. SO many times we've heard good Mets say why XYZ solution doesn't make sense... as in today's "storm". The good ones raised flags everywhere when certainmodelsstartedshowingbig hits, seen it a million times over the years... and then you have the social media twats.

GEFS will be better

Even the euro AI ensembles got more bullish. This is ridiculous lol. Gotta think they crumble soon.

I continue to stand with the Pope on this one.

Lol I get severe whiplash reading through these pages. 

Still worth watching for a moderate event but obviously a big hit looks off the table. 

Still concerning EC wants nothing to do with it hopefully some kind of agreement at 00Z.

Fodder, but that’s one tasty Reggie
