JB is due for a stellar call. I recall the early 2000's when only he nailed a storm to come North, ( think he followed the Canadian model ) it did and caused massive snows in our area. The JB index is at a ATH.
Could certainly see an ideal capture scenario tomorrow, or even Monday with a large region wide MECS with some areas HECS. It would be silly to think the GFS is correct, or any other model for that fact this far out. We all know we are dealing with big time potential, just need that match to time things correctly for snow lovers.
With the dynamics and the set-up I would think the highest probabilty of a screw job would be SE, too just too far offshore. Almost reminds me in a way of the brutal cold preceeding the bomb cyclone of Feb 2018. Incredible snows just missed our area, but I believe there was a beach blizzard in lower De.
I am not expert by any means, but this set up has a lot of energy potential and the severe - AO this weekend and HA event NAO phase reversal upcoming still excites me.
At this rate OTS on the GFS.
Northern jet been screwing the forum in a big way the further North you are. This is an ongoing issue.
Again, don't get invested as this is a very delicate storm outcome. Ensembles have guided the op.
Well @mitchnickis getting his wish. J/K
Remarkable opposite of the more amped Ukmet solution. However, still way to early to worry among a miss to the East.
Been 9 years here since I have seen a 12 inch snowstorm. I am happy with the Euro run. Of course, who knows, the storm might amp up, or might go East, don't take anything seriously until we get to early next week.
May not end as a Dewey Beach event, there is so much energy could be a rather massive extent to snowfall on the Western side. Could be an area wide MECS. Fits the indices. hope the northern jet doesn't screw us.
Appears this might be the first legit warning level threat for areas further North and Northeast this winter season.
Going to see what the TPV and the severe - AO can do. Should be very interesting to observe in the days ahead.
