Just to recap 12z runs:
Hammer jobs:
Icon: Major hit for many, another wave possibly coming post hr180.
CMC: Nuclear bomb for many.
Ukmet: Have to extrapolate post hr 168, but looks like a major hit incoming for most.
Misses:
GFS: Almost a complete whiff, some ice for Northern NC.
GEFS: Pretty ugly
Just my two cents, but I don't see it that way. Ukmet hasn't pinched off a low over Minnesota which is the killer on the GFS. Mogreps should give a good indication of how it was going here in a bit.
It will be interesting to see which road the Euro goes down

In all seriousness, what model do we want holding onto this storm? It seems like whichever model shows a strom is always wrong. EURO,GFS,CMC have all done that this winterThe last model I want holding on to this storm is the Canadian.
Both trending the complete opposite way lol
We don’t want it phasing over Vegas, heights rising in the east. This isn’t a setup for a low tracking below us.Just my two cents, but I don't see it that way. Ukmet hasn't pinched off a low over Minnesota which is the killer on the GFS. Mogreps should give a good indication of how it was going here in a bit.
Edit to add:
It's definitely gonna be warmer/ further north than the CMC. But just look at the starting point for 850s with the ukmet compared to the GFS at hr 168. Also the 850 temps/boundary is still pushing south from hr 162 to 168 on the ukmet.

Good it would be nice if the Euro was down for a week and all we had was the CMC/Mogreps combo to ride into next week. This might be fun again.![]()
Just FYI!!

The cold air source with high pressure building in is actually quite nice (coldest anomalies in the northern hemisphere), but the challenge is getting the wave interaction and timing right to keep a storm from climbing too far north. 8 days out and things could continue to improveGut tells me that 850s are too warm for anyone south of I40 in the Carolinas. Now if that airmass was as cold as January, it would be different.
GEFS with a little weaker block in the day 6-8 and CMC-E hanging in.
View attachment 168507View attachment 168508I do however like that the TPV lobe south of Greenland is trending further west; that should provide us with a better cold air supply.
That looks decent to me. Is it not?
Here ya go:Anybody got the 12z Mogreps snow mean on pivotal? looks like it could be showing something based off the free maps. Here's hr180

Use Kuchera and reduce your pain by ~50%. Or use a real model + Kuchera and reduce it even more.The CMC was a heartbreaker for our neck of the woods last time. But this NC cutoff takes the cake!
One inch for FAY, 20 inches for Lillington, two feet in Angier and 30 inches toward Fuquay-Varina? View attachment 168518
This is puzzling to me. Surface temps on the cmc were in the low to mid 20sUse Kuchera and reduce your pain by ~50%. Or use a real model + Kuchera and reduce it even more.

These maps are rarely wrong. You can pretty much take this to the bank and quit model watching for this timeframe if you are out of this circle.

What was it people were saying that the CPC is almost always right about there predictions of where storms are most likely going to end up . I only say this because yesterday it looked completely different than today.

This model is so broken it's scary. I feel like a complete moron for entertaining it earlier this year. In 6 hours it outputs over 1.5" of precipitation and the model soundings on Pivotal suggest freezing rain/drizzle with the sounding not even fully saturated. There's so many suspect things in that one sentence I lost count.This is puzzling to me. Surface temps on the cmc were in the low to mid 20s

CPC says we get cold smoked, let's RAGE!! lol.
I'm a weenie, I like being inside that circle. Completely unbiasedly (heh), I think that is the overall potential affected area based on recent ops and ensembles. I deem it accurate.
