AM thoughts before 12Z guidance comes in- it is possible we never see guidance come into agreement on a uniform solution. Frankly, it is rare that happens anyway. The meteorology says a rapidly deepening mid-upper low off the coast favors areas along & east of I-95 especially...

MA forum saying GFS east

[Redryan5]

Hurricane Scrwartz is live right now in case anyone is interested. Talking about it being a hard-to-predict Miller B. Seems to be grasping that this is a big one but still uncertain (Im not an expert, just sharing because I know people have been asking where he currently is with this storm)

For them, yes. For this subforum it’s essentially the same.

I literally hope everyone except you sees snow.

Can you take this shtick to banter?  Being kind of a buzz kill this morning. 

[Newman]

Yeah GFS is a tick east but it's just noise at this point. There will be a deep 700mb fronto band on the NW side of this thing that models will not pin down at all. Right now the meso models/GFS have Berks, Lehigh, Northampton, Chester as the far western edge of that. It could be east of that, or west. There will be a sharp cutoff

He won’t stop. It literally ruins the experience for us lurkers.

[ChescoWx]

As expected the GFS is starting to tighten the western side of this.

I think he called "curtains" three times this week on this storm. So I view most of his negative posting as a positive sign.

He does this same thing in 3 different forums. He's been asked to stop repeatedly and refuses to do so.

Funky, when everything was trending well yesterday he was largely silent. Of course he's active again today.

I caught, in passing, 101.5 saying 12-20 inches in some parts on NJ.

Mickey the models are just converging now. Relax bub it’s going to snow

12z AIGFS

[Redryan5]

Hurricane Schwartz just said 8-12" for 95 corridor. Says still a lot of uncertainty around where the heaviest bands will be. Low is far enough off the shore that heavy snow and wind at the shore is almost a certainty.

[pl0k00n111]

Can he be 5 posted? That used to be a thing I believe. 

[MGorse]

Good morning. Winter storm still there I see. 

[Hurricane Agnes]

12z GFS to see the low behavior (which is maybe why Hurricane Schwartz was Miller B-ing this).  I know that this is really not the GFS's range and forte though.

And you are "closer" to it then some of us.

I’ve clicked the ignore option and don’t see his posts but when folks quote him it shows up. Just stop quoting him

was curious about it being called a Miller B. doesn't really look like a B to my eye, seems like the southern wave digs down into NC whereas B would mean it originates in the Ohio Valley right?

I guess we are so used to "Miller Bs" being visible in our region but it looks like it is happening further south.  I generated a map for the MA region (the other was the Northeast one) and you can see the funky things going on (like it wanted to be a "Miller A" but ran aground instead).

The bummer on that view is that the low seems to follow the coast line. If only it stayed in tight right up into Long Island and Connecticut.

It still nails this forum good, but it would help me up in the coal region where I'm riding the sharp cut-off/gradient.

[MGorse]

Well, I have been called into work tomorrow. Good times to be had!
