This one will likely end up being more amplified once the models have finished resolving the current situation. I was hoping the timing of this event was going to slow down as their will be a drop in the NAO as we move towards the mid part of February. Not saying we can't get the job done but it doesn't look like anything more than a week low at this point.

That energy dropping into the Plains will make this interesting. Will it yank this storm NW on future runs? Very, very, little cold air with PHL already on the borderline on the GFS.

All it takes is just enough. Looks like a solid but not big event on the 18z GFS. That could change.

These amateur eyes don't see any cold air in place for snow in the NYC area (POSSIBLY far north and west). Looks wet, not white.

Going to be a very fragile/thread the needle situation. Nothing to prevent warm air intrusions and a coast hugging track, or even inland if the phasing takes place as it could. It however could be a big deal if everything comes together properly. I was one of those who diminished the last storm which dumped over 16" on me until the last second when it was already 4"/houring on my head. This winter, expect any and all possibilities!!

Yup, it's all about the timing of the phase. Too early and it comes inland, too late and it slides offshore. There has been zero model trend and ensemble guidance is widely varied, so the forecast is not exactly a sure thing.

nice and warm with the storm through 114...looks like some phasing took place and yanked it westward on this run but the energy is still pretty strung out and the low never bombs...big cities are rain...I feel like there's still some room to bring it a little more west, so congrats OH for this storm?

Congrats DT?:whistle:

DT says this can be snow to rain, with all snow in NYC.... via facebook.

This is what he said on his facebook

Models are developing the weak coastal Low FEB 5 into a bigger system that coems up the East coast.

He then said that NYC can see all snow.

We'll have to get this storm out oif the way before the next storm can be nailed down. I still have a good feeling about that one.

We need a high pressure up north. This storm has to come be perfect for our area because there isn't really any cold air.

uptons take as of 636am....

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...

HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS BACK BRIEFLY FOR THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH

FRIDAY NIGHT WITH TEMPS AVERAGING 5 TO 10 DEGREES BELOW

NORMAL...ALTHOUGH ZONAL UPPER LEVEL FLOW WILL KEEP THE REALLY

FRIGID AIR TO OUR NORTH.

THEN...MODELS DIVERGE ON HANDLING OF THE NEXT PIECE OF SHORT WAVE

ENERGY EMERGING FROM THE SOUTHWEST THIS WEEKEND. THE GFS IS COLDER

AND A LITTLE SLOWER...MOVING A COASTAL LOW JUST SOUTHEAST OF THE

BENCHMARK LATE SATURDAY. SUBSEQUENT ECMWF RUNS HAVE BEEN

FLIP-FLOPPING THE TRACK...THE LATEST RUN CAME IN WARMER WITH THE

SURFACE LOW HUGGING THE COAST. HAVE KEPT SNOW EVERYWHERE FOR

NOW...ALTHOUGH THIS COULD CERTAINLY CHANGE GIVEN THE TRACK

UNCERTAINTY.

THE WEEKEND SYSTEM SHOULD DEPART QUICKLY TO THE NORTHEAST ON

SUNDAY...FOLLOWED BY A BRIEF RETURN OF HIGH PRESSURE AND DRY

CONDITIONS. TEMPS MAY ACTUALLY FLIRT WITH SEASONAL AVERAGES ON

MONDAY AS HIGH HIGH PRESSURE DRIFTS OFFSHORE AND SURFACE FLOW TURNS

SOUTHERLY.

Im still not liking this threat for the cities, probably a good interior event maybe. No high pressure to lock in cold, strong se ridge, with a northern stream dropping down ready to phase.

We are going to thread the needle with this storm., This can be a good storm for our area if it takes the perfect track or if the storm explodes off the coast.

I'm not really liking our chances for this storm and really for the rest of the winter. The pattern has definitely changed for the worse here and it seems like we're finally into the traditional Nina "look" with lows moving north to our west and the SE ridge pumping way up. Oh well I got more snow this winter than I ever expected. I do hope though that if we're not going to see snow that it semi-torches and we get some warm air in here.....get my kids out of the house and save me some heating costs.
