Roger Smith Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Yep, the same low 100 miles east of Nantucket instead of 100 miles east of s DMV would give e MA what this model run gives Norfolk (30" snow). A track up towards Long Island and then over the islands and cape, with those pressures and air masses, would be a BECS like 1888. Or maybe it stalls where the Bliz of 78 stalled. Of course maybe none of the above, but I think this early in the winter season a block and a right turn are not realistic, that is March into April sort of weather.

Kitz Craver Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 With almost all ENS leaning west with some really tucked and strong SLP’s even more west. It’s odd to me that every OP is skirting this off the coast and exit stage right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think within that ENS spread we would see some serious eye candy on OPs(well we did have that on the Canadian yesterday) I dunno, I just don’t like the double barrel low look as of late 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Smith Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 I guess you get a double 970 low if the model can't justify a 950 center in between them. To justify that would require that the 522 dm upper low become a 510 or 504 type of center. Then it explodes in that extreme baroclinic zone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still 5 days away so wild to see those kinds of odds That’s what we want to see on the ensembles at this point, no? I know we all love to see the huge Op eye candy, but I’m somewhat happy it’s not a direct hit just yet up here, at 5 days out. That can happen in a day or two . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahk_webstah Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 On this past storm, there were a couple of runs 10 days out or so, maybe the GFS, that had this weekend storm slamming us. Then for a couple days, the models took everything south south south. Then the move north. What I’m saying is I find it’s not uncommon when there’s a big storm shown in the 7 to 10 day window that sort of disappears, it sometimes comes back. Especially with the coastal storm where the set up is a bit more delicate in terms of small things having big impacts. I would say the late night model runs tonight will give us a general direction. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yah I can’t site a specific example but do recall storms sort of “blurring to nothing” in the 5 to 6 day range and coming back at day 4. Maybe 2013 blizzard did this?

Maybe 2013 blizzard did this? This hasn’t blurred to nothing. Look at the ensembles. The other thing is that this seems to want to come north the question is how far off the coast is it when it comes north. Check out the WPC depiction, which brings the storm north just outside of the Gulf of Maine. So if the track of this whole thing from off of the Carolinas just adjusts 100 miles west, and if it strengthens, it may curl back a bit as it gets further north. I kind of feel optimistic about this, although I hesitate to say that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe 2013 blizzard did this?January 4th 2018 did for South Carolina... Didn't come back in for the Midlands until like 36 hours before the storm and even then there was a nasty cutoff between where I lived in Orangeburg (5" of heavy water-logged fluff) and Columbia (zilch), a distance of only 40 miles.Sent from my SM-S166V using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baroclinic Zone Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Still a lot to be determined on track for this. Gotta give this a couple more days for outliers to wane. 06 GEFS was nice but I will not use the GFS for any winter storm with any level of confidence. Euro/EPS backed off on their 00z runs to 06z.

I feel pretty optimistic. Honestly just getting a decent storm on top of the 14 or so we just got plus the 2 or 3 left from the prior one would be great. Having 3 storms worth of snow on the ground has been a while. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need this thing to keep gaining latitude like that storm did. As shown, it’s an occluded mess as Scott said. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbenedet Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 lol. Wrt where most of us live— PWM, BOS, NY, Philly This is about as locked and loaded as you can get at this lead time. I found zero things to criticize 5 days out. Teles, GEFS and EPS guidance are frickin awesome. And the persistence/side of things is great as well… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 We def want this closing off further north. The only mechanism that really brings the low north is the closing off of the upper low itself as it expands. So if you dig it too far south initially, it has more trouble recovering the latitude. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely needs a little work, but probably not the worst spot this far out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sey-Mour Snow Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Ya 6z euro suite was bad . However, still 5 days out, need to tweak a few things and like Will said get this to close further north. 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
