When you look at progs and you see a neggy NAO , strong confluence, and strong HP in Eastern Canada, you never ever forecast a cutter. Minimally you get a secondary reflection locking in ll cold over interior and more often than not the storm ends becoming a strong coastal or good overrunning snow event that scoots south

This happens quite a bit as the -NAO tries to get established. It depends on several factors.

I haven't looked at anything in the last two days and I'm on my phone right now, but I agree with you here. What I've been saying for a while is that this storm is coming during the developing phase of a -NAO, which does not rule out a cutter. Historically, this is actually a common period for a GL cutter

Nice to live at 42N

I wouldn't mind a little white right now, but such a low confidence forecast. If there is going to be an increase in confidence, you'll need the euro to come NW. I wouldn't be shocked if it made at least baby steps NW. I could be wrong though.

That's what a lot of folks here was talking about the last few days, Some of the models had this system cutting thru Michigan only a few days back when it was a phase bomb over the ohio valley, There was considerable model spread as well as its ensemble members

The euro being so flat and weak is disturbing

That's why we were saying not to fret on a cutter. Sure, I hate them and I would rather not have them..but they can sometimes be productive.

Kevin I've been honking wintry potential next tue/wed for quite some time and you give me no credit lol.

Will I agree with your post about upcoming pattern. I'm excited about next 3 weeks.

Overall yes but a 44 and raindrops / snowflake on air doesn't exactly scream winter lol

Yeah, the really amplified systems tend to cut in this regime. But the confluence helps to shear the shortwave out and prevent too much amplification. The chances of a big snow event are pretty low in this pattern but an advisory snow in the interior is certainly possible.

It's more inverted than I thought. BUFKIT yesterday did show it, but I thought 50s here. Maybe we get a little pre frontal bounce.

Yeah maybe...I bet some areas recover a little more too. I was 6F warmer than CON at 17z as they were just coming out of the soup. They will probably end up with a max near me when all is said and done.

51F now...soaring.
