You and the NAM should totally get it on Frank. It's so obvious your in love

Only European models turn me on.

Not the software

It's the American WX regional NYC blog. It's horribly messy usually with a lot of trolling (Thank GOD Frank has this blog), but I check it during big storm threats cuz every so often you'll get a good post or two.

With the GFS starting up soon, the one thing I'll be looking for is the northern energy making strides tonight and phasing in sooner with our saturday storm. The Euro ensembles hinted at it, so its something to watch for if it occurs would cause a much more dynamic/closer to the coast scenario.

Yup.

That's it. I've been forced to change my avatar. Very Happy

by **Frank_Wx** Tue Jan 20, 2015 10:30 pm

As I sit here eating my cheez-itz, I notice the GFS has initialized. Lets do this.

by **rb924119** Tue Jan 20, 2015 10:34 pm

Hahahaha The one thing that we can't forget is that the energy that could be responsible for the development of the "kicker" will not be making it onshore of the North American continent until about 30 hours prior to the onset of precipitation....Anything that we see until then will still be just an educated guess. Look at the changes that resulted with tomorrow's clipper within the 30-36 hour window because of the same exact reason.

by **Frank_Wx** Tue Jan 20, 2015 10:39 pm

Through hour 24, we have our phase in the SW US to develop the low pressure system. It already looks a tad stronger.

by **rb924119** Tue Jan 20, 2015 10:39 pm

Not to mention all of the other pieces, including the northern energy that could phase with it. That doesn't enter the U.S.'s upper-air network until less than 24 hours away from the start of things.

by **Frank_Wx** Tue Jan 20, 2015 10:40 pm

MJO in phase 8 is going to do wonders on the STJ. At hour 30 I am seeing enhanced precip streaming up from the Gulf and Caribbean already.

by **Frank_Wx** Tue Jan 20, 2015 10:41 pm

Hour 33 shows a much stronger vort phasing into the southern energy compared to 18z.

by **rb924119** Tue Jan 20, 2015 10:44 pm

Frank, honestly, I don't even pay attention to the 06/18z runs; since they're only initialized on the forecasts of the 00/12z runs, I just feel the initial error is already sufficiently large outside of about 84 hours. Just my opinion....

by **Frank_Wx** Tue Jan 20, 2015 10:44 pm

Hour 45, I like how this is going so far. The energy was stronger so the surface low is already bombing out. It looks more compact as well. Heights rising quicker along EC.

by **rb924119** Tue Jan 20, 2015 10:46 pm

Yep, definitely just saw that too.

by **rb924119** Tue Jan 20, 2015 10:48 pm

The only thing that I'm seeing right now that is making me a little nervous is the western ridge; it seems like it's almost too broad and flat for a left turn up the coast....

by **Frank_Wx** Tue Jan 20, 2015 10:48 pm

Hour 51, everything looks good. Especially the main vort. Heights easily higher along EC than 18z. Now lets get that northern stream to drop

by **nutleyblizzard** Tue Jan 20, 2015 10:48 pm

Damn it!!! I can't see a thing. Tropical tidbits site is stuck on hour 6!

by **rb924119** Tue Jan 20, 2015 10:49 pm

The energy associated with the kicker just comes onshore at 54 lol That thing is gonna be HAULIN' lmao

by **Frank_Wx** Tue Jan 20, 2015 10:51 pm

Hour 63, there's our northern stream north of Montana. Lets see it dig

by **rb924119** Tue Jan 20, 2015 10:52 pm

Kicker is SIGNIFICANTLY weaker this run compared to 18z

by **Frank_Wx** Tue Jan 20, 2015 10:53 pm

The mean trough is going neutral sooner compared to 18z GFS at 69

by **rb924119** Tue Jan 20, 2015 10:53 pm

Main trough is definitely deeper

by **rb924119** Tue Jan 20, 2015 10:55 pm

Northern energy looks much more consolidated this run versus 18z-it's not sheared out. This may allow for more phasing
