LP08 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 I do like seeing the trough more positively tilted out west through 60 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like streams aren't interacting as much and the dome of confluence is pushing down more so at the 57 hr mark. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psuhoffman Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Chuck was comparing the 18z NAM to the 12z GFS, which is apples to oranges IMO but he isn't looking at what the rest of us are looking at...which explains the "what is he seeing" stuff. The 18z NAM is less phased and has more confluence in front than the 12z NAM through 60 hours. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtracker Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 So far, looks slightly flatter out front and better confluence if anything 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno how much to think about this since NWS seems to clearly think there will be some FRZA, but sleet would be a much better outcome for lots of folks down south. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtracker Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Chuck been real quiet since that 60hr panel drop.... 1 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormchaserchuck1 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Still a 1042mb High pressure in NY state on the NAM at 84hr. That's a tough wall for this low pressure to climb against. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyHat Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 11 minutes ago, TSSN+ said: DC right at the end of the storm. Talk about riding the line. Delaware looks like rain for a time according to the picture. This thing keeps coming NE. Isn't there that chance of more warm air aloft to bring this rain and ice further to DC and Baltimore? Neat how it went from one extreme to another. No snow, to snow, to snow than ice, and now who knows. Seems PA, NJ will make out really good.

Buddy1987 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Inside of 60 I actually think those were meaningful changes. You can see the trajectory of the precip shield also positively changed. That's a win at this juncture. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was going to say the 84hr panel actually looks really good. The differences between the NAM and 12z GFS at 72hr in the Southwest are pretty extreme. Maybe the GFS starts phasing that sw energy sooner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once it's in range...I would trust the NAM over other guidance with the thermals and precip type zones associated with that. Not at 84 hours...but once were close. Especially the 3k. It's the only thing I do trust the NAM with over other guidance. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soadforecasterx Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 So why does this map show something different? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchnick Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 At 84hrs on Nam, 534 Height line is thru Fredericksburg while Euro same time had it cutting thru DCA. We'll take all we can get. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC starts to lose thermals at 1pm and only gets like .15 QPF after that. 95% of the precip falls before the thermals get problematic then hours and hours of very light freezing rain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Look at where that big northern shortwave enters the country around 78hrs. Much farther east than 12z. Continuing to 84hrs, part of the difference is speed, but it’s still east. I like that. Would like to see that same thing on the varsity models. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
