My EURO source is updated for 0z.

EURO:Rain starts 12z sunday @ 84. Really heavy rain onwards from hour 100ish. Storm tracks Rehobeth Beach landfall nightime monday. Tracks west directly at or about BWI.. Gets towards the skinny part of MD.. sits and rots there and rains itself out before lifting north.

Rainfall 5+ entire Sterling CWA

EURO has snowfall in the mountains short of a foot. Not sure how their algorithm works or anything. Trace snowfall on my products almost to Newport News VA. (very unlikely but funny to see modeled)

Winds Inland : Tropical storm sustained if your inland near landfall within reasonable proximity to track. Gusts range 45-70 knots in LWX CWA depending on where you are in proximity to the center.

Winds coast : Insane. 70 kt (as high as my chart goes) from OBX to Montauk. Cane force sustained it looks at the coast on tonights EURO.

You have to think water piles up nj ny harbor & Long Island, btw how do winds get on jersey shore -li?

Remember the Feb 19th event this year-- 5 days out looked to be a DC event and each run kept pushing it further south? (confluence was stronger each run)

Anyways, could landfall be further SW as the models catch up to blocking? (AKA, further south that Cape May??

What Yoda said.

The discussion of the difference between the GFS and Euro in how it is modeling the blocking is a must read in the NE thread, by the way.

Thanks for that heads up. Reading that helps out a ton in figuring out why the euro and GFS have been so different in storm tracks.

Yeah, cleared a ton up for me last night, appreciate the work from the mets engaged in that exchange.

Explaining the weakness and that is the reason the GFS still goes OTS some was huge. It really is a matter of which one gets it right to see where it goes. Something to watch for on today's model runs

The GFS is no longer out to sea as it hits maine. I don't see a complete whiff along the east coast. Jason did a nice job describing why the storm is unlikely to stay out to sea in the article below.

Sometimes, it is wise to be a "model hugger." Now saying whether the euro, ukmet or ggem will have the right solution is a tougher nut to crack.
