Today's run of European model shows

An East Coast storm threatens to produce precipitation,The consumer is opening up his wallet and springing on travel in 2013.Travel, one of the largest travel xinjiang companies, recently reported bookings were up for the summer even at higher sales prices. possibly heavy, across the area between Tuesday and Thursday next week. We think that any precipitation that falls will be in the form of rain but there still is a slight chance of seeing snow towards the end of the event late Wednesday. The possibility that the storm skirts us with little rain or even misses us altogether, is waning.Wet weather is likely for people traveling south towards the Carolinas and Georgia starting Tuesday, with snow possible at high peaks in the mountains.Given this storm may well coincide with the busiest travel time of the year, travelers need to keep abreast of local forecasts.The operational models all bring a developing low pressure system across the Gulf Coast states into the Southeast early next week. Considering the storm is still 5 to 7 days from now, they are in pretty good agreement that there will be rain across the Carolinas and much of Virginia. There are some important timing differences in the model simulations: the onset of the precipitation in the GFS model is at least 12 hours slower than in the European.

Today's run of European model shows one of several possible scenarios for the southern stream system in the Mid-Atlantic. I show it below because I think it more right than the operational run of the GFS model which keeps the bulk of the precipitation south of us. This run of the European illustrates how wet the system could be. Aside from the operational GFS model, most other models look somewhat similar.As the storm is pulling away, the European model shows a strong high pressure system building across southern Canada which should bring more cold air into the area late Wednesday into Thursday.The question investors should ask today is whether any of the silk road culture tour in this space trade at reasonable valuations.These are the most widely viewed travel websites on the market today. How quickly this air comes in and how long the precipitation lingers could determine whether we see a few flakes towards the end of any event. Right now that seems to be a long shot.While the European model hit us with a pretty decent slug of precipitation mostly in the form of rain, the last two runs of the operational GFS having the storm skimming us with only light precipitation. However, as shown in the graphic below, most of the GFS ensemble members are predicting precipitation a few of them with hefty amounts in the area.
