Positives: Not suppressed, not OTS and wet.

 

No cold, there s a reason  to worry about temps at this time.

 

Fixed it for you.  Having no high or even decent cold air to start with makes it tough to get snow with a weakening upper system. We need mega lifting.  I'm not ready to punt but think our chances of breaking our 2 inch famine is not that great.

Wes is throwing rocks because he lives s&e. 

 

just kiddin wes. It's a crawl walk run and fraught with problems. But still the best shot @ knocking down the streak all year (that's not saying much though.lol). 

Can't argue with that!  It sure is about the best shot we've had for a long time, but it's going to be tricky.

Not with it's track unless the 850 low goes south of us. I don't thinnk it ipmpossible to gt a snowstorm out of this but think it is a uphill battle. especially for folks inside the bletway or east of I95.

Uphill is the only way we know how to go.

5 runs in a row of improving vort pass for us. We need more dig or God forbid it closes off......

I'm optimistic because these usually give us snow as shown but if it's the exception it is what it is.

Temps are of course a concern but there really is no sense digging into every possible outcome until 24-36 hours out. We've all seen these models look colder at that range. ANy event in this awful winter will be gross and terrible and highly flawed at best. Yeah, some folks in the area are going to get totally screwed with cold rain.

Clueless the precip type maps come out early

I honestly don't even look at the GGEM it's useless. The RGEM, not so much (though it did miss the snowfall in CT for past storm)

 

While this week's storm could be hit or miss, anyone not excited for the upcoming pattern is blind...NAO could tank, would be surprised if there is not at least 1 big storm till the end of winter.

H5 looks decent enough on 12z UKIE at 72... looks to be a bit faster than the GFS in placement as UKIE is in W TN and GFS is in W AR. Northern energy on UKIE is weak and back in W ND/E MT

here's a weather post, in general glancing at the UKMET, and seeing the low track from h72 to h96 looks a bit north of last night's evolution. As many have been focusing on, I was studying the position of the northern stream potential kicker, and I agree with you, its definitely well to the north and wouldn't lower the heights along the east in a flattening out in front of the storm. Therefore, I could see the UK with a favorable track to just south of ORF, as the heights might be able to build just a little and there being enough precip on the western flank to provide an improved solution in comparison to 0z.

The 12Z Nogaps is a little more amped up than it has been and now gets precip into DC Metro...  The Euro will be north on the 12Z run then...

 

The Nogaps has a severe supression bias outside of 3 days, so when that model comes a bit north with its solution, then others will soon follow.

 

Also, the GGEM and Ukie are followers, not leaders

Sterling discussion in case you missed it:

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...

A POTENT UPPER JET WILL POWER THE MONDAY SYSTEM OFF THE COAST -

ESPECIALLY THE MIDDLE PORTIONS OF THE SYSTEM W/ UPPER ZONAL FLOW

LEFT BEHIND. STILL A COLD UPPER LOW OFF TO OUR NORTH WILL TAKE A BIT

LONGER TO MAKE ITS WAY TOWARD NEW ENGLAND. THE LOW'S RELATIVE

PROXIMITY TO OUR AREA WILL DRAG SOME COOLER AIR BACK INTO THE REGION

ON TUESDAY...DESPITE DRY WX AND MAINLY CLEAR SKIES.

THE OTHER LEFTOVER PORTION OF THE MONDAY STORM SYSTEM WILL BE DRAPED

ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST. WITH A LARGE UPPER RIDGE OVER THE

CARIBBEAN...A LOT OF MOISTURE WILL GET SANDWICHED BETWEEN THIS

FEATURE AND THE FAST-MOVING ZONAL FLOW OVER THE OHIO VLY. A

SHORTWAVE DROPPING OUT OF THE CANADIAN ROCKIES EARLY THIS WEEK WILL

THEN PICK THIS SOUTHEAST MOISTURE AND CARRY IT OFF THE COAST DURING

THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK. THIS REMAINS THE POINT AT WHICH MED RANGE

GUIDANCE REMAINS DIVERGENT. THE GFS CONTINUES TO BE FAIRLY

AGGRESSIVE IN TERMS OF A COASTAL LOW DEVELOPMENT. THE EURO CONTINUES

TO KEEP THE SYSTEM FROM MAKING ANY GREAT STRIDES IN TERMS OF THE

INTENSIFYING OR AFFECTING OUR REGION...AND THE END OF THE CURRENT

NAM RUN IS INDICATING AN EVEN MORE WEST SOLUTION THAN EITHER OF THE

OTHER LARGE-SCALE MODELS.

KEEPING A MED-RANGE POP FOR THIS TIME PERIOD FROM WED AFTN INTO

EARLY THU...W/ LARGE RAIN/SNOW MIX SWATCH ACROSS THE SERN HALF OF

THE AREA AND BETTER CHANCES FOR ALL SNOW ACROSS THE MTNS/SHEN VLY

AND PORTIONS OF THE FOOTHILLS. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE TRENDS

IN THE NEXT SEVERAL RUNS TO SEE HOW THE SHORTWAVE WILL INTERACT W/

THE SOUTHEAST MOISTURE IN THE COMING DAYS.

THU/FRI WILL BE THE HIGH PRESSURE DAYS GIVEN THE CURRENT LONG RANGE

SOLUTIONS AS CONDITIONS INCH BACK TOWARD NORMAL...BUT THEN A DEEP

AND SHARP UPPER TROUGH WILL DIG DOWN ALL THE WAY TO THE SRN ATLC

STATES POTENTIALLY BRINGING US ANOTHER COLD WEEKEND.
