If southern VA is the bullseye at 120hrs, it'll basically stay put with minor changes. If we're in the bullseye at 120hrs, it's heading north. Always been that way. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the guidance ever waver for those two? Different types of setups for those two. Those were split flow phasers in a pattern where blocking was prevalent. Atmosphere slows down and allows for phasing more easily. This one is more overrunning with blocking to the north to anchor in a cold high and maintain a general WSW to ENE progression of waves ejecting out of the southern plains. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87storms Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 5 minutes ago, SnowenOutThere said: It still moves the SW energy east so I'm okay with it existing for now. Just need to get that piece east to get a storm... speaking of which so far the GFS is not seeming too enthused. The upper level flow is still very much NS dominant. Your idea of the southern stream energy coming out in pieces makes more sense than one big storm imo and, frankly, is what the h5 map shows on the gfs. We’re up against atmospheric memory rn.

I don’t really ever consider the icon but it was in the no go camp and I’d argue the 18z rgem was as well. 1 minute ago, clskinsfan said: RGEM would have been even better.

aldie 22 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 What storm was it recently where we were in the bullseye but there was some suppression risk and then the bleed started to happen and it ultimately ended up a Norfolk blizzard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowenOutThere Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 GFS is a step back from 12z as it doesn't have any real interaction between the NS and SW. However, as mentioned in my post still a chance we get a storm from the NS if it dives enough south. As for the RGEM and NAM they both look good I like them as they have NS energy entering into where it may capture the SW like every other model. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From a N stream system or a Southern stream system view in a fast moving environment, these two scenarios make sense.. and suck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clskinsfan Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Man. That would be a historic storm for NC. Seems we have been saying that alot for the southern folks over the past decade. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warm Nose Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Relax ... 1. There's a storm 2. There's plenty of cold Two things we haven't had much of recently. It'll play out over the next few days be happy for anything more than SnowTV given our recent luck. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Wiggum Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Ai GFS is a potential 2 wave long duration system. Yes, went south but still honking for a major event. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which, while obviously not what we want, is nice to have as a backup. Exactly. This is a fail as far as what we want, but that is a solid northern stream vort that does some good work for us. Still a couple to a few inches of snow with temps in the teens. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terpeast Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 18z vs 12z gfs had some tradeoffs. The sw vort was a step back, but the nrn stream vort dug more and heights rose more in front of it, plus the high weakened by 4mb shifted NW. so thats another path to a minor win here while S VA and NC get the max. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfoman Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Feel like the GFS has recently been more typically holding back energy in the SW in the medium range after overamplifying it in the longer range (168 hr and up) and/or shearing STJ energy as it propogates eastward. I don't think its a possibility we can ignore even with EPS/UKMET/CMC not taking on the same evolution. First part of the system feels very blizzard of 88-ish?

Quasievil Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 I don't dislike this - precip field tugs more north compared to 12Z. If GFS had a bullseye this far out, I'd be worried - this is inline with what we typically see from the GFS in previous big events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
