Euro tends to overamplify systems in the LR, which is why its latest run makes me skeptical.
Not saying it won't be a hugger but I'd be surprised if the Euro's evolution played out.
Sounds like you think it'll track inland. Certainly not discounting that given Atlantic warm pool.
It's likely why we've had to wait til Jan/Feb to get a significant snow event at the coast lately
Starting to wonder if eastern areas could turn to rain if there's a full capture.
Like that one storm that gave us snow and skunked central & eastern SNE
Yeah I think the timing of the capture will be what models waver on for the next several days.
Interestingly enough they both (Euro & GFS) have the PNA recycling which means another storm is possible after this one.
If so that'd be very reminiscent of 2010
We're only getting a coastal hugger today because the primary is in the lakes. Actually if it weren't for the block we'd probably be in the 60s today with a wound up cutter.
Things wouldn't have to change too much for a more favorable outcome.
A stronger PNA spike or a stronger 50/50 due to better Atlantic blocking could do the trick. I would prefer a better PNA
Quite the storm potential next week.
Will it be a dynamic arctic front or a Miller B is the question. Regardless a massive chunk of arctic air will be unleashed for Christmas
