2/19 East Coast Winter Storm Threat

We are seeing more and more amped up GEFS members which is good news. The vast majority has at least a scraper with some big snowstorms.

12z UKMet looks pretty similar in terms of track to the op GFS though maybe a smidge east with the UK being west of the majority of GEFS members. That's huge.

I'm actually getting a bit amped up about this potential.

You know it's weird. Looking at the 500mb heights on the ensembles, it does make you wonder how a big storm is possible. I know it's happened before, but even the ridge out west is kind of blah looking..although sufficient for something. Eh, crazier things have happened I guess.

This is what has kept me on the conservative side. Crazier things have happened, but this is not a typical H5 pattern for a coastal low.

Yeah I know it. I mean, I'm not expecting a KU type 500mb look, but a lot of things have to come together. However, it seems like more and more evidence is hedging to something more interesting for the East Coast. It's starting to grab my interest somewhat.

Now that Ryan is calling for a crippling blizzard along with Scooter I think we can all start preparing for a monster. Schweet.

Looking a bit closer I don't think the synoptic setup is too bad for a big storm... the issue is going to be an absolute disaster of shortwaves all over the place that are going to be difficult to resolve. I expect another day of relatively poor model performance until we start to sort this stuff out a bit.

It's tough to see on the PSU maps what the EURO is doing but it looks about 24 hours slower than the GFS with a spoke of energy diving down. I have a really hard time believing the EURO is wrong substantially at 24 hours.

As a result there's nothing to really pull it all together, and that super duper GFS solution ain't going to happen I don't think on the Euro.
