Despite people hailing it as the lord of all models it's really not all the time...Every model has biases and failures.

It hasn't actually failed yet, but yeah, right now it's looking like a solid butt whipping is a possibility.

I guess everything needed to be west about 150 miles? All of the features, even whats going on right now?

Model performance posts annoy the crap out of me and ones before the event even happens are nails on a chalkboard. Any enthusiast that has followed models should know that they are all good and bad. Each setup poses it's own unique set of calculations. Euro does quite well when there is a big block. The block is modest at best right now and that one piece of information alone should be a clear indication that this storm is tough as heck to "nail". I don't care how good a model is. GFS seems to have done well with this one so far. We'll revisit this topic on Thursday.

What storm kmlwx?

You are acting like the storm happened already...which is really not bright at this stage. Sure it looks like it will be a miss for us - but as many have already said...it is not smart to declare a model winner. The GFS did not "school" the Euro as of this writing.

The track itself on the 18z gfs still isn't all that tragic. It would need to be a stronger storm. Not sure if we can kick start the strengthening process any earlier though. We needed the help of the trailing vort but it looks like the timing isn't going to work out.

I guess it's time to start watching the finer details as the lead vort comes around the bottom of the trough. Doubt there will be much difference in what the models showed over the next 24hrs vs what happens but it's worth watching.

Someone is going to get fringed and fringed Bad...again this reminds me of the storm which I think was December 2010 of when Baltimore was expected to get several inches, but the storm pushed slightly east and had a tight precip gradient..the end result was next to nothing for Baltimore and several inches for the eastern shore...We could be looking at a similar situation here.
