Winter Storm FAIL next week

Did CTBlizz have a talk with you? :lol:

In all seriousness, I actually agree. BTW, from the Philly forum, most of the indv. gfs ensembles members are south of the OP

In checking out the past 4 runs of the GFS it has def trended farther south from its 12Z. Plus that "block" in Hudson Bay is farther south too especially how 0Z depicted it. Good trends maybe.

I'm not yet impressed with next week's storm though it's so far out there I guess anything can happen. I'm not a fan of vorts that go north of us with Miller B type storms, the scenario shown by the GFS. It leaves us with the potential dry slot, p type issues, snow to freezing rain to maybe rain if the 00Z euro or 12Z GGEM are right. The good news is the ggem loves wrapping storms up. The bad news is the mean trough looks pretty far west. If we get a weak wave that is minoring out we might stay cold but then run into the dry slot problem. We could get light snow to moderate snow to drizzle with that scenario. If we get a stronger one, we might end up with the low going much farther west leading to a warmer look than the gfs. The euro ensemble from last night looked closer to the gfs than euro at least to me but I'm sure there was spread that the mean doesn't adequately snow. So much for rambling. I won't be doing a blog on it until Sunday so this is just some prelim thoughts.

Per GFS, IAD doesn't get above freezing the entire event.. and as we know in these CAD situations surface temps on the models rarely trend up as we get closer to game time.

But with miller b type storms the qpf often goes down as you approach it. If the miller b holds, we'll probably see winter weather and some snow as the initial air mass is pretty cold.

hr. 114 1004 low southern ill 0c in central pa

to get from NE AR to southern Ill it would have to be moving almost due north? If so did the high move our or is it splitting the high? I guess the trough is trending towards more amplification out west which would destroy the confluence over the midwest and allow a zone for it to cut. This was why weaker is better.
