6z Euro went east too

Phased Miller A bombs like what may be coming this weekend have so many moving pieces to them that they all have to be in the right spot and in the right orientation to make it work properly.

Models, even the AI ones, are probably too underdispersed in how they’re handling everything

I remember Dec 2010 went from amped to then looking more suppressed at some point in the medium range only to make a hellacious comeback inside day 3. Long ways to go with this one
 
I don't have a good feeling about this one unless you are East of RAH and cold enough out there. Could change I guess but I don't see the snow making it back this far West. Looks like a southern slider that will slide out into the Atlantic. Those of you holding on to hope for the GFS/CMC are not going to be happy by this time tomorrow IMO :(

This. You can't look at this H5 trend and tell me this isn't close to a bomb.

Yeah the AIFS is probably the most encouraging reliable piece of guidance at the moment. EPS/AIFS-ENS/WxN seems to be the way to go, but even that grouping has notable disagreement at this juncture

Also, this is a bit of a weenie comment, but WxN did make moves with QPF over the last few days of runs with the prior system. It locked in synoptic features pretty well but adjustments did still get made, mainly that drier solution southeast of I-85
 
I’d take 2” and be very happy…hopefully it starts windshield wiping today

Hopefully would be a little higher ratio than 10:1, anyway it does give us wiggle room if it starts to tick back W. Seems it was locked in last week but iirc it did tick NW last 48 hrs. As long as it doesn't whiff completely before it starts to do that. Whiff is definitely a possibility

Yeah...I am no longer worried about any sort of west trend with this one...🤣

A victory for us would be a 1-3" event board wide...I would take that in a heartbeat and call it a winter. Atleast for Raleigh, we don't do big snowfalls anymore, they never work.

Yeah we need a bombing coastal in just the right spot like the CMC was showing.

Encouraged to see there’s still a path forward ant least around here even if this thing scoots ots.
Yea even the euro gives us something.
Is the model above you showed this one below? I never knew what this even was...

And I don't know what this one is either...but it's a bomb

i believe so. Bouncycorn said last year the Graphcast has decent verification scores. The fourcast, not so good.
 
TPVs are extremely difficult to forecast, so I wouldn't take any of the models very seriously this far out. Encouraging points at this time is all models continue to show a storm signal. Small changes in the pattern will have significant impacts on the storm's evolution, as we are seeing right now.

We will continue to have wild swings until we get closer to being 48 hrs out.
 
The NBM seems much more in line with what I expect out of these coastal storms. Granted those west of the coastal plains are going to be more iffy.

As we saw last January these lows love riding the thermal gradient caused by the Gulf Stream. Yea in some cases they can scoot east towards Bermuda but that’s way less common.
 
One thing that has appeared since the 00z runs is the orientation of the footprint has changed from more SSW-NNE to more SW-NE. Less into the northeast and further backing the footprint over the Carolina’s and into Georgia slightly
I think Cary hits on the main trend here. Geographically, we’ve trended better for NC/SC, but we’ve lost storm intensity in some cases. But mainly at this point, we need to avoid the awful scenarios (Euro Op / Icon)

i think the NBM is a useful "centering" tool, especially when there's broad consensus, but the flipside is that it will keep accumulations residually high well after there's firm evidence that we're getting rug-pulled, which what the euro is trying to do now.

i've said this before but here in richmond for my field goal snows there have been multiple times that the euro was the lousiest, most suppressed of the bunch, and i believe that was borne out in other areas last year. my recollection is that it had nothing around this range for the coastal plain and only marginally scraped wilmington during the gulf blizzard. unscientific, anecdotal, food for thought
