01/22/16 - 01/23/16 Update #2 - Models Not Backing Off

Frank as always great write up.....however whoever is in charge of the scrolling message reading...you may want to clarify the below statement and set the correct message across the garden state?

"A Godzilla is threatening to impact the area Friday-Saturday, models showing unprecedented consistency"

Just an absolutely beautiful look at H5 on the NAM. Amazing consistency with all these models.

Good start to the 0z runs.

NAM isnt in range to handle this well yet obviously, its getting more amplified every run hinting that its beginning to catch on to the dynamics more but by tomorrow night it'll be more useful.

Where will this storm rank????

I love jet streaks. The H250/150KT jet streak is located north of the surface low on the 18z GFS. Dynamics!

GFS initializing? Should have another run to digest in about 30 mins!!

Anyone know the TWC name of this winter storm? It's important for contest purposes.

It's already been mentioned but the 00z NAM shows an incredible trough loaded with upper energy. 00z GFS coming out soon.

Ajax, Bella, Cara, Delphi, Echo are the first 5

That is a great map Frank of the dynamics = jet streak so important for this storm and snow!

T minus 3 minutes till...........................

I have 6 tabs open right now !!

So the next name begins with F? Wow there hasn't been many winter storms across the nation has there haha

Ok boys time to buckle up for the next 3 hours

no frank there has we already had goliath. I tried to look on their site but couldnt find a checked off list.

00z gfs looks awful. Crap. 











I hope you're awake! Kidding!

I think they haven't named it yet but I believe Ilias is the next name so that's what it shall be

I believe their last named storm was Herra, so the next name up is Ilias.

HERE WE GO 0Z GFS HAS BEGUN

Hour 15 the PAC energy is stronger.

Jerk! Lol. My stomach literally just fell to the floor.

I thought they named a system Hera in early Jan, if so it would be ilias

Hour 21 differences are negligible compared to 18z

I hear your brother I got to get up at 5:30

HR 24 LOOKING GOOD
