baltosquid Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Flatter flow as snow begins. Phase is a bit more disjointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Man Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 That wedge at 72 down through Virginia is very prevalent on the icon this time 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the first huge sign to me the upgraded Euro stunk because the night before (0z) it dropped 20"+ imby, then the next run was 12"+, and I ended up with 3"+.

stormtracker Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Hell of a sleet bomb at 18z Sunday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baltosquid Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Oh, interesting trend on the ICON popping into view. Check the low around Hudson Bay. Run to run it is impinging downstream on the NS energy that wants to phase. Could that help string out the energy perhaps and de-amp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bncho Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 ICON is 6-12", more NW, less SE. I'm going to take that and run, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interstate Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Yeah... the outcome is not much different on the ICON Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LP08 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Seems that the first couple pieces of guidance at 12z (NAM, RGEM,ICON) delay the phase out west compared to their previous runs. And before anyone says anything i know these are not even the B squad lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSSN+ Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Icon was heading euro and gfs way. Onto the real models now 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bncho Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 ICON was actually a tick SE and gave most areas (including NW areas) about 25% more snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSSN+ Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Here’s the 6z and 12z comparison 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchnick Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Last comment on 12z Nam, if you look at the 84hrs Conus surface map, there was a lot of precip to go. It was definitely heading toward the long long duration scenario of one form of precip or another. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 My yard is a kitchen sink no matter what but I'd take the ICON all day over the ice runs that are popping up. 5" of snow and 3" of sleet is 1 million times better than anything that has a half inch of ice or more. Our forests are loaded with pines. Big ice would be awful to clean up behind. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hstorm Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 RGEM looks a bit colder but also less QPF overall than 6z. At least through 78. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LP08 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I guess with a later sloppier phase we do lose some of the super intense thump, who knows what to root for anymore! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WesternFringe Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 1 hour ago, Weather Will said: WB 9Z SREF thru 7pm Sunday This is just sooooo far off from the Euro, the GFS, the AIs, NWS forecast, and the NBM for my area that it should be disregarded and tossed.

baltosquid Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I want to put myself in the shoes of someone to our north who may prefer amping. I think if I was looking at the stuff out west and potential fragility of that phase, with the Baja piece threatening to lag, I’d probably be sweating a bit. Confluence also has threatened to increase. Still seems guaranteed to amp some but when you reframe it like this I think it shows a lot of the angst is putting the blinders on. I don’t think we’re gonna get the dream all-snow scenario but there are real risks to the phase that I’m sure we’d be honing in on if we were hoping for a phase.

Yeah I'd say there's a pretty solid consensus that, no matter where the sleet line sets up, it sets up about parallel to the Blue Ridge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddy1987 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 @Bob Chillcheck out hr 64 on the RGEM. That is an absolute beatdown right across 460 line out to you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grhqofb5 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 So the RGEM shows the storm entering the DC area around 1:00am Sunday 1/25 and continuing until about 1:00pm on Monday 1/27. Is 36 hours that about right for duration? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bottom one as a 6z LP into middle KY and 12z the triangle of KY/TN/VA. It's like the 12z are sniffing out a stronger HP to the north each run and adjusting. If stout walls of cold can stay above it will be interesting to see if the models move to a colder solution or still find ways to punch warm noses into our areas 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
