Yes, and I haven’t seen anyone talking long duration storm.
Correct. But the flow is still progressive. There’s another s/w hot the heels of this one that may screw with any prolonged baroclinc process along the coast. This is not to say we couldn’t see a 12hr quick hitting storm favoring eastern areas, it’s just too soon to know. We may also be dealing with a shitty airmass in southern areas without a dynamic solution to draw in the colder air.
