It does also have ensemble support per one of the mets in the New England forum, but the ensembles also show it starting to erode away towards the end of their run. Something to keep an eye on.

I love the monstrous GOA low at 240 hours on the Euro...I'm surprised nobody anywhere started shaking when they saw that.

that thing is the kiss of death for us if it sticks around for a while like "cough-cough 2011-12 winter"

I think the models are showing their biases at this range, with future Sandy. The GFS breaking down the West Atlantic ridge too much. The ECMWF and GGEM being overphased.

It looks like the Euro ensembles are showing an intermediate option of a track between the OP and GFS

instead of getting pulled in to our SW and back into the Lakes. I will like to see what the models are showing

once this starts moving north and the trough details begin to come into a little better focus.

Remember the Euro did very well with boxing day in the longer range so I wouldn't write it off completely. At the same time what its showing today is just insane and it would take one hell of a miracle to verify. Im going with the middle of the road idea with a typical not 100 year esk noreaster.

I think the Euro had the boxing day storm for 4 straight runs, before losing it. So far it's only 2 straight runs with this one. For now, I like a solution somewhere in between too.

Crazy to see so much activity on the boards for a threat that still remains 7 days out. It is important to remember the potential fluctuations on guidance even at this range can have incredible implications down the road, especially when you're dealing with this phased solution as advertised.

I suppose the potential is higher than usual for something big given the blocking pattern both in the high latitudes and even down into the North Atlantic...but we won't know anything for a few days at least. The GFS is still fluctuating with the upper level low in the North Atlantic/Newfoundland and that has big implications on the storm as well.

Anyway...here's your daily GGEM superstorm graphic.

Probably a breezy day with that tight pressure gradient.

The Canadian is still very different aloft despite having a similar solution at the surface -- there are still major changes in the handling of the trough over the Central US. Before 132 hrs the trough is definitely flatter and less energetic than the 00z run, but by 138hrs a strong shortwave is just racing south and east from the plains..which eventually scoops up the tropical storm and ignites the phase. Here's a graphic to keep...what a :weenie: solution.

The latest gfs came further west and is more amped, The fact that a majority of models show a crazy storm 6-7 days out usually means somethings going to happen, it's unlikely just a strange coincidence. The -NAO that's expected to continue if not get a bit more negative strongly suggests a storm near the east coast and if we're dealing with a tropical influence, then things could get very interesting.

This is a total fallacy/misconception that I hope we can forget about by winter. Just because all of the global models show something similar at Day 7 does not mean it has an increased chance of happening.
