I like the look on the GFS for the storm on the 15th. Big improvements from the last few runs. Nice ridge out west; 1048 HP in upper midwest. To my untrained eyes, a continued southward progression of the trough could make for an interesting event.
I was just happy to see NOVA under the blue color for two runs in a row. If that look holds at 12z, I think we have to consider starting a new thread. LOL
I'm heading to South Jersey on Saturday. I might have more luck up there. My goal is to see some flakes in a bad pattern! Maybe we'll look back at this weekend and see that it qualified as one of those surprises that happens every few years or so along the eastern seaboard.
