That is probably one of the most diverse set of GFS Ensemble runs I have seen for a 72 hour event. Thank goodness the Euro is in the storm camp. The fact the NAM is eas bugs me, but if you look at 500 and 700mb...it doesn't make sense compared to what's at the surface. The storm should be much further west.

15Z SREFS (21 members):

Good DC Hit: 4 (Good DC Hits went up the CT river valley and screw SNE)

DC Fringe : 3

Wide Right: 7

OTS: 7 (squat for all)

Looks like the NWS changed their tune from the afternoon forecast on the weekend storm, they did have just cloudy skies now its a 50% chance of snow sat night and sunday..I guess they fnally saw the euro.

Wow, that is really interesting... I can't remember ever seeing a forecasting change like that on a 6 PM update for 48+ hrs out. Mistake earlier?

My guess is they were concentrating on the current system, and probably didnt look at the EURO till late, also the offices may have wanted to see what HPC said which i think updated at 4pm

I know it is a cliche, but 00Z really is huge tonight.

I'm just not sure how anyone West of BWI down here can have any confidence. If I lived in Delaware I would be pretty pumped. Also even the crappiest runs are giving Boston love so I think they should only be asking how much at this point.

But what do I know.

A big deal here and SNE is screwed. But if the NAM and GFS aren't west at 0Z, I'd expect the Euro to back off some. It is an important run

there's actually a number of hours when places like BOS and DOV are rain

850's are low enough, but 2m temps at +2C-3C

my gut tells me that based on the flow pattern this year, with that block, the storm has just as good a chance of hooking NNW once past us as it does NE

anyway, we'd have really decent ratios here and .5" qpf would probably yield something like 6-7"

if I get 6-7" snow Sunday, I don't care what anyone else gets

Would be nice to get in on the action...I'm not sure how many more storms my area can be on the fringe only to bounce back and end up with good totals. Still only Thursday PM I guess

I think we'll all be in the same boat on this one in the end

either its a hit or its not

only the bliz of 78' comes to mind when IAD got considerably less than BWI (OK, maybe that clipper in 3/84) but you guys don't average more than me for nothing
