VBsurf Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Very well-done. One minor adjustment I’d make would be to move “A” to encompass a *little* more of SE VA…as 3-7” seems a little too conservative for Norfolk, IMO. Maybe some bay enhancement as well? Being in Virginia Beach myself my only worry is the south shift closer to game time with this setup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it subsistence between the ULL and the coastal, with the moisture feed it should blossom, but doesn't seem to be happening. I’m not a met, but you can tell the NAM has zero clue where to place the coastal. I’d think it’s some feedback issues but there will be a bust zone somewhere. You can’t have it hammering west and east with air sinking in middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Closes off the upper low much earlier, is more west, and goes neutral earlier. Blossoms the precip shield over NC much better and even takes care of our Atl people a bit. To me this is the thing we are looking for the most. How early can we get that low to close off and go negative. Makes all the difference in the world.

This is actually a good thing happening and it goes to show the power of what an ULL can do. Everyone breathe haha. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then proceeded to create an AI generated photo with a bunch of people holding their vacuums high in the sky lollllll All seriousness though, this is what we all enjoy to do is interpret models/data and then see things transpire. Yes it can drive you nuts but it's what we sign up for, knowing damn good and well we may get nothing. Live for the thrill of the moment. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarheelwx Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 NAM was very consistent calling out the drier solution last weekend. I wouldn't discount it totally. Actually it seems very logical to me. Not agreeing, just saying it has merit. TW 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthHillsWx Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 FV3 is how we win as a forum. Smooth transition from ULL to coastal, negative tilt, no screw zone. Still a little funky with surface depiction of SLP for coastal but my guess is it cranks right off cape lookout if this goes out 6-10 more hours. That’s a pretty look for everyone 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USCG RS Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 8 minutes ago, franklin NCwx said: How do you "now-cast" on an event that doesn't start for roughly 48 hours out? I think what they mean is that this is another very complicated set up. The ice storm last week had very complicated thermals. This one is a storm transfer over the area with questions of where this closes off. These scenarios tend to create rather hyper local outcomes due to where the moisture sets up and this can lead to significant subsidence in places depending on where banding sets up as well. It takes time for precip to blossom as well when storms are developing. This is where some persons were saying that smoothing of the mean creates qpf forecasts that appear uniform over an area but really aren't. So all of this together, it's another tough forecast leading to last minute trends and observations ruling the day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormwatcherJ Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Weenie question but i think relevant: when is this coastal low supposed to start forming? I hear the experts saying we'll have more reliable data once it starts forming. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthHillsWx Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Last RGEM was good too. With CSMs those are the two you want in your corner vs NAM suite. Definitely would like to see them converge but those are what we want other short range guidance to trend towards today 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADB83 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 GRAF kinda mirrors the NAM, so I do think the concern is legit. It's wait and see timeI agree, but I actually think both points are valid. There is still considerable uncertainty, even this close to the event. Dry slots look likely now, but this is not gospel as to exactly where. .
