benjammin Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 It looks like they're going with more of a GFS solution. Sent from my Pixel 10 Pro XL using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spidyr2k Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 In case anyone else was wondering. Flat vs. Radial Ice Flat Ice: Accumulates on flat, elevated surfaces (e.g., car hoods, decks). Radial Ice: Forms on round objects (e.g., branches, power lines). Key Difference: Radial ice is typically about 40% less thick than flat ice from the same event because it spreads over a larger surface area as it builds. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTP Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 5 minutes ago, StantonParkHoya said: It’s interesting that the Euro used to have a bias of burying Baja lows, hanging them back to the southwest too long. Wonder if they over corrected the physics to remove this bias. . Could very well be the case- or tried to correct upon multiple variables at once (shotgunning). Or corrected for another completely separate dynamic that typically does not influence output, but did in this specific case, or the solar storm (plausible, hardware, communications and electronics in general do not respond well to magnetic waves) Or could be sniffing out something extremely early I would take any of what you see on the models with a grain of salt until metadata is derived from the low and actual surface reports- much cleaner picture 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BooneWX Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 For those saying this low cant plow into the high, you’re right, but that’s not what the euro was showing. The 50/50 low is moving out of position, which means blocking is falling apart, and your HP has an easy escape route north. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BooneWX Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 With all of that said, the run to run changes in the upper levels on the euro are rather mind boggling, not discounting it, but saying it’s dialed in would be a lie as well. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember that the image contains the forecasts from various forecast offices, not just one, hence weirdness around the boundaries of County Warning Areas (CWAs).

Completely agree. Check out the 500 vort map of the last 8 euro runs. Crazy inconsistent up there. https://x.com/contentwxguy/status/2014137831522742310?s=46 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh- I see....and yes, that would change pretty much everything at this point...early phasing would act as the kicker on the 50/50 and make it more progressive, correct? Some of the ensembles were showing this, but then I saw some others that had some genuinely bizarre solutions I still am skeptical of this without seeing more of the metadata being fed in- many of the other ensembles were all over the place with no coherent line of best fit 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormwatcherJ Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Well at this point as I look across various media sources, weather apps, and maps posted here, I have seen anywhere from 0-6 inches of snow and 0-6 inches of ice for my area. So I’m very confident in my forecast. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't give the GFS too much credit given how much it folded to the Euro (gradually), while the Euro hasn't taken any meaningful steps back to the South (yet) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddy1987 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Just now, Buddy1987 said: Based on what one of the Gentlemen said that was on the dropsonde flight the 0z GFS and Euro will immediately have the data readily available to go tonight. There was no mention of any other models. I highlight this because I’m curious how NAM behaves. Can see the Baja energy is somewhat delayed and the n/s energy is already kicked east some early on.

Yeah I don’t think any humans would be forecasting 8-12 for Boone right now. Not saying it’s impossible, but certainly doesn’t appear to be the most likely outcome as of now.
