The convective parameters look great especially the further east that you go.

It's difficult for us to really benefit from a bombing clipper but the gfs is heading in the right direction yet again. It's very close to something much bigger for us, it needs to continue to dig a bit more and I think we could get a solid 3-6" storm. 

its really difficult to benefit if the NAO - PNA and AO are not in a good position - which they are not although they are moving in that direction after this weekend event ALSO  the flow is still too fast with nothing to slow it down so this will be just a very light event .............

We need the S/W to dig as much as possible in order to develop a nice CCB and system at our latitude/longitude. I would buy a solution like this more than the hope we cash in on a Norlun. Hopefully the flow can slow down a little so whatever storm does develop doesn't get pushed right out to sea. I would like to see that trough axis a little further west, but if we keep trending to a deeper trough, we might luck out. As is it's a lot more favorable for New England.

It seems tough with the fast northern branch in a Nina pattern for this to amplify close enough to the coast for

other than areas east of the city to really cash in. At least if we had a dominant STJ in  Nino year, this would

have a better chance of bombing closer to the Delmarva than east of New England. But it would be nice

if the Euro ticked a little closer to the coast.
