Is there such a thing as having to much of a perfect setup????

Not really. I mean if its perfect its perfect. There is however a difference between a perfect setup and perfect storm (not the one from 1991 lol). Blizzard of 93 was a triple phaser a very rare event. Some would say this was a perfect storm in the sense that all the jet streams phased. It was great inland and produced over 40 inches in syracuse. But it obviously turned to rain/ice at the coast. So too much energy too early equals a storm that's too amped and pumping heights and taking a further west track. This could 100% occur in this setup, however, if it did it would only be because it is a huge storm, so would still be exciting to see even if its not an all snow event.

Given the energy that's crashing into the west coast, I'm definitely much more worried about OTS than rain. 

 

 

Agreed. The trough is deep/sharp, but the height rise in the Central Plains is a bit concerning. The ridge is fairly far east of the ideal position, so I would not be surprised to see a coastal scraper/near miss.

I think the entire set up is positioned just a little too far east for us right now on almost every model. Any time you have a shortwave that digs to the Gulf Coast and still ends up out to sea, you are going to need everything to adjust west as a whole.

Agreed... that monster full latitude trough has incredible potential but is positioned a touch too far east.

Given how amped the NOGAPS is, I think the shift west will eventually be made...
