I have stormvista and Truewx

Both are great and the models come out very fast

I work for the guy who does IT support for True Weather... Does that count?

Doesn't look like it even glances coast to me, am I missing something?

It's about to phase with the northern low

A lot of moisture coming up on the Nam

Remember something: I am a landscaper, not a weather man, so you got to explain all this stuff nice and slow...

Yea I don't get those moisture maps I like the maps that show the total snowfall better. Easier for a dummy like me to read

You must only be looking at the surface.   If you just looked at this then yes at first glance it appears not even close:




However;  If you look at 500mb this is where all the energy is that is leading to what you see precip wise on the surface.  The yellow and orange in the area I have circled in blue is what gives you the surface look above.  BUT there is a bundle of energy being held back around the Gulf coast, and a strong s/w is digging into the Tennessee valley.  More than likely if the NAM went out further these two pieces of energy would phase and boom goes a surface LP.

Aaah ok, I just look at snow maps and see if I will be working...

When you watch a football game or a hockey game do you just flip on the TV to see the score at the end of each quarter?  Or do you enjoy watching the game itself? I don't know about you but I enjoy the in game analysis of how my team is doing compared to the opponents; what's been working, what hasn't, and what we need to do to get the win.  If you just want the half time score check back Thursday morning.  And if you want the final score check back Sat morning.

I don't like sports so nope.

0z GFS is a complete miss. Damn

The 0Z CMC sure was something....just too bad that it is: 1) an outlier and 2) not in short range yet

0z CMC

Model Rundown CMC UK met navgem all shifted considerably West. 6x GFS is west of 0 0 Z. nam looks to be focusing on a later wave which would affect us later Saturday into Sunday euro operational is West with minimal impacts EPS is west of operational. There's still a lot to be resolved with the forecast going forward from Friday night through Sunday as models are having a tough time focusing on which wave to key on. we will probably have resolution on this in the next 24 hours.

I think models are going to have a tough time with this upcoming pattern so I wouldn't get too high or too low or too confident until we're inside of 48 hours. What a difference a year makes or the last several years as we finally have something to track early in winter

The 6 z gefs are considerably west of 00Z.

how's the NAM doing today? hot or cold?

Not out yet

You mean the NOT A MODEL?

Precip is further west at hour 57 compared to past runs

This looks really good on the Nam

Pretty neat thing Accuweather added.

Nam needs 1 more jump west

Big jump west on the Nam

Accumulating snow down gets to the coast

Great run

Great run

Agreed however it's focusing on the last wave which the other models have not picked up on still got to take into consideration that it is the 84 hour nam

Shift it west by around 50 miles so I get something, and I will be a happy penguin...
