GFS may end up being right. Its usually not wrong in this time frame:(

 

It could be. Maybe it's first to sniff it out. Without a some sort of surface reflection we aren't going to get that pretty slug moving in from the sw. Probably scattered to lt snow as the ull disturbance moves across only if the gfs is right. 

 

Luckily, it won't take much in this case to get juiced back up if the gfs is wrong at this range.

GFS being right, wrong, or otherwise is irrelevant.  There's not a person here who isn't concerned about its last three runs.  I keep telling myself that there are 72 hours to go, lots can and probably will happen, and that Jan 30, 2010 pulled the rug out from under us a couple of days prior to the storm.  I don't know if this even matches up well with that storm, but it is a good reminder that we don't necessarily have the whole picture 72 hours out.

You can easily see what the gfs is thinking. 18z (left) from last night and 12z (right) from today @ same point in time:

 

 

 

GFS is simply backing off on the amplification. Without it we don't get a surface low or waa precip. I started getting worried when I saw 2 runs with flatter flow out in front and now were up to 3 runs. 

 

That should be the prime focus on the euro. Does it stay amplified @ 500. If 12z comes out flat then the trend sucks.

Yes, but that storm also was way different, and it gave me 6-7 inches here, which was a nice north trend surprise.

Ukie has a pretty amped low heading toward the OV then looks like it will attempt the quasi mb jump to the coast...... pretty similar to the Euro I'd say

sure is

look at 700mb RH and wind streamline link below

when I saw that Ukie map I almost passed out
