A little hope.

Haha if we did manage something from that weak front runner wave it'd be a sacrificial lamb to the big midweek storm. I die a little inside with every solution that puts a nice low on the coast with no cold air involved. 12z Euro places a 992mb right on the Jersey shore with real nice deform band thru central/eastern PA...of rain.

Run the Euro snow maps on WeatherUnderground, true central PA people, and witness a classic bit of Euro trolling (special thanks to hckeyplayer8 for pointing out the Euro troll tendencies). Gives us accumulating snow to rain for the midweek storm.

Someone needs to ban that model.

Why so? A nasty mix of several precip types, or even accumulating snow isn't out of the question, especially with the recent trends.

Trend is our friend? Much further east and much colder for the mid-week storm now on the GFS. Not as much precip but much of it is now frozen for UNV-IPT north.

Anyone who might actually know what they are talking about (like you Billabong) care to chime in here? I really raised an eyebrow at that last run.

Looks like the models are making a few positive changes for this midweek storm. The well to our north in Canada is getting increasingly stronger and better positioned. While the primary GL low is modeled further west. This means we could be seeing more of the influence of the northerly flow from the high and less southerly flow from the primary low. Just my thoughts.
