gabel23 Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 00z Euro thru 90HR...When you can could you post digital snow totals for the central plains? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted February 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 00z Euro has 850's -10C or below for duration of event...would produce 20:1 ratios and fantastic LehS up this way. You could fluff up .40qpf easily to warning type snows. All in all, the defo band is looking very healthy and wide each run. Again, I don't buy this system cutting into the east coast but rather up west of the Appalachians. Tomorrow is going to be important as this storm will be riding along the Cali coastline and getting better data by Balloon Network. It would be absolutely embarrassing if the WRF/NAM got this one right 84 hours out and beat the EURO/GFS/GGEM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 Someone from American: Models are mishandling the S/W and the northern stream and thus providing many implications on the track and strength of the storm. If you analyze the 500mb vort charts, you could pick out some errors that I think the models will correct in the coming day or two. Been a horrible season for the models. For example, the GGEM completely retrogrades the northern stream and kills it off. Will be interesting to see what happens when it gets fully sampled.

Tom Posted February 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 Winterfreak, I'm not giving up on this one. I was referencing to the track this storm took back in Cycle 2 of the LRC. Very similar and I think this is the storm we are seeing in Cycle 3 now. I don't have the maps showing the system I'm thinking of back in December to show the comparison. If it is, this storm would be riding up from deep down in TX northeast into S IL/S IN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grizzcoat Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 Looks like you're giving up on this one. Come on man lol. If the NAM holds serve it will be interesting to see which model wins out.The Nam sucks as this distance. Within 36-42 hours,, it improves A LOT. The two loudest sounds known to man: a gun that goes bang when it is supposed to go click and a gun that goes click when it is supposed to go bang.

Tom Posted February 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 If you followed the LRC's forecast for the Superbowl, you would know that there would be a ridge building up the east coast and temps would be above normal. It took the models 2-3 days before the Superbowl to figure this pattern out and now they have corrected and forecasting temps near 50F. I remember models were forecasting temps in upper 20's/low 30's just a few days back. Same goes for this storm, it will follow the same pattern and if there is a ridge in place on the east coast, it aint cutting directly into it.

winterfreak Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 If there is a ridge in place on the east coast. Yes it wouldn't make sensefor it to go into an eastern ridge. Praying a NW trend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Money Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 Like we've been saying for days on here, the strength of the HP coming is probably the biggest factor in this storm either heading more NW or staying SE like GGEM/ECMWF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East Dubzz Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 Yeah that's a tough pill to swallow if that would happen. Brings me about 3-4", foot or more not far away. Still not a terrible run, but I think it's going to cave to the GFS eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bud2380 Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 WPC says this will be a negative tilt trough.

bud2380 Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 I think the NAM just corrected itself from being too moist and robust this far north. Overall the track was fairly similar, but qpf was just scaled back on the north edge. Might have shifted a bit south overall. Personally this is more in line with what I think will happen. Might still be overdone on the north end. Just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sciascia Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 Who's got a white flag for me? Lol. The "SE Ridge" appears like it will fail us, as will the Canadian high pressure. Likely to be 2nd straight storm that drops the most snow to our SE. Our "snow magnet" has lost it's juice. Haha ...The Artist Formerly Known as RJSnowLover...

Tony Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 Unfortunately, as of right now it doesn't look like it is our storm. That high pressure is pushing this storm south of us. It would have to dig more and go negative tilt to have a major storm hit for our area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
