Friday-Sunday is looking good

[striperman36]

POSSIBLY MOVING
OFFSHORE JUST AS A POTENTIALLY STRONG COASTAL OR OFFSHORE LOW
PRESSURE CENTER MAY TAKE SHAPE. MOST MODELS SIGNALING A STRONG STORM
DEVELOPING FRIDAY NIGHT...PASSING WELL SE OF NANTUCKET SATURDAY.
HOWEVER...THIS LOW MAY ACTUALLY SLOW DOWN...IF THE UPPER LEVEL
VORTEX CAPTURES IT.ONE THEME THAT CONTINUES THIS MORNING IS THAT THERE IS A GOOD
LIKELIHOOD OF PRECIPITATION ACROSS MOST OF THE REGION. THE QUESTION
IS HOW MUCH MOISTURE WILL FALL...WHICH IS ALL IMPORTANT AS IT APPEARS
THAT THE MAJORITY OF ANY PRECIP WILL BE SNOW THOUGH THERE MAY BE
SOME MIXTURE OR CHANGE TO RAIN ALONG THE COAST. HAVE CARRIED LIKELY
POPS FOR MOST AREAS...EXCEPT ALONG SECTIONS OF THE S COAST /FOR NOW/
ON FRIDAY...SHIFTING TO THE E COAST BY SATURDAY. DID NOT CARRY QUITE
AS MUCH QPF AS PREVIOUS FORECAST...BUT THIS ALONG WITH MANY OTHER
DETAILS ARE HIGHLY UNCERTAIN AT THIS TIME.

THIS POTENTIAL SYSTEM WILL CONTINUED TO BE MONITORED CAREFULLY...AS
WE HAVE SEVERAL MORE MODEL RUNS TO EXAMINE PRIOR TO FRIDAY. THE LAST
SEVERAL EVENTS THIS WINTER HAVE SHOWN US THAT...IF THIS LOW BECOMES
MORE AMPLIFIED...THE SYSTEM/S TRACK COULD SHIFT CLOSER TO THE COAST.
WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR MODEL TRENDS FOR MORE CONSENSUS. STAY TUNED
FOR FURTHER UPDATES.

I'll know better tonight after I read the HPC discussions of the 12z runs this if from the 06z runs

Is this your profession or is it a hobby? You seem very knowledgeable with your weather posts. Impressive!

Sounds like this to me Bill,
I'll know better tonight after I read the "Bla bla" of the "Bla bla" runs this if from the "Bla bla" runs.

Yup that me, I read the models review the discussions, whack out a few numbers and argue with the rest of the nerds about it until the next round of models come out.

US models are run by the HPC 4 times a day, European and Canadian models are run twice a day.
There are 6 major weather models in play this time of year. Each has it's own ensemble of up to 8 variations depending on height in the air column being modeled and the type of output, barometric pressure, precip, wind being modeled.

Other localized models or specific models for the Air Force or Navy are also available


All of the above is Unclassified data so all of us can look at it at any time. Pretty cool

I looked at the charts and will leave it up to the experts to decipher. I can handle real-time forecast (I look out the window ) but 2-5 days out..no clue. Most of the trained forecasters only have a clue 50% of the time.

That's totally true, it's so fluid no one truly knows until it's gone.
Like the last storm.

This winter is very unusual from a weather pattern perspective in NE.

And I will also say that I am employed doing this for our Armed Forces.
