GFS heading in wrong direction, flatter ridge and NE shift with energy. Let's hope GFS still sucks lol
It's a good track on the icon and the early Sunday timing isn't bad at all but the sub 850 layer isn't that great. If we are going to have to cool from the sfc to 900 we are going to need a strong wave that can generate banded heavy precip. A marginal wave with mainly light precip is going to end up with a lot of 37 and light rain reportsLet's see what the GFS tries to do with our energy. ICON nice little shift, pac ridge smidge taller, separation from northern energy and decent sw shift

Something tells me a NAM run will give us the rates we need .. might not actually happen but I’m sure it’ll show us something we want to see ?It's a good track on the icon and the early Sunday timing isn't bad at all but the sub 850 layer isn't that great.

This is the stuff of weather nerd wet dreams.I'd take my chances with thisView attachment 95661
Its really not that far away tbh and if we were in the heart of winter the icon probably isn't rain. Given the time of year though with still marginally cold air masses we gotta get help aloft. Take the same icon track but strengthen/close the upper wave and you get a stripe of snow along and north of 40.Something tells me a NAM run will give us the rates we need .. might not actually happen but I’m sure it’ll show us something we want to see ?
Is it too early to talk about the ICON warm bias? LolIts really not that far away tbh and if we were in the heart of winter the icon probably isn't rain.

I was going to go with the wave hasn't been sampled yetIs it too early to talk about the ICON warm bias? Lol
Close but no cigar?? ?? ? going to try to pull some craziness
