[quote="Ntxw"]I have to reiterate, this thing is still out in the Pacific ocean. The models do not have an understanding on where it's going to move and how strong it will be. On top of that there will be a northern stream energy that will mingle with the storm. What you see now possibly and most likely will change, the ensembles and models are too variable. And to add more into the confusion there is vorticity and "stuff" to the east of Hawaii and west of Baja and will play a role as well (or may not).


Yes. As usual, you are right on the money sir. This is ever evolving. Even Wxman 57, the Heat Miser ( Or Blowtorch..:) ) said he would wait until the 12Z Thursday before committing to this event. Bear watch in place.

Here is the active Pacific that Ntxw speaks of. Perhaps by Wednesday afternoon we will have a better idea on what may unfold.

Safe to say that tonight's 0z model runs are the most anticipated model run sets on this forum since ... well ... it's been awhile!

I'm waiting on the 21z SREF to finish out. The 15z run had some "interesting" frames towards the end of its run.

Ah yes, clicking back and forth or refresh the page to get NCEP to show the next frame that may or may not be exciting. Watching our little patch of home light up with greens and the passage of the blue 0c line. Only to get frustrated NCEP is too slow so we try to find another outlet that is much faster! The addiction that is snow...

Fun times are back at Storm2k! I love it when we are highly anticipating model runs! If only we could do this more often!

More importantly even though it's La La land nam, look at the coast of Mexico

I know ... why can't the NAM go out to 96 hours! :P

Well, what is of interest is the precip shield per the 0z NAM seems a bit earlier in onset and more aggressive (expanse wise) than previous runs.

Light sleet in SE Texas along with Austin and the hill country. Light snow is breaking out in the Permian basin but I do warn it is 84hr NAM.

The 21z SREF is encouraging for south central Texas in terms of P-type ... no doubt about it. But the precip amounts are light. At least thru 87 hours.

Onward lads and ladies to the 0z GFS and Euro!
