As we get that storm further into pre truncation it keeps going further northwest. Still don't see the excitement.

With that 50/50 you know from 8 days out it could and probably will trend south, but I don't buy the nao and 50/50 look either so the whole thing is likely to change.  It's worth watching because we don't have much else to watch and its not a totally impossible scenario.  The GFS is doing something very weird where the 50/50 low actually absorbs the midwest H5 low.  Very odd...but if that were to happen it could possibly set up one last chance as the following wave comes under the newly reenforced block.  One rule though, in February if you have a decent -NAO dont sleep on any storm threat.  Things seem to want to happen this time of year if the NAO is in a good position.

GFS la la land shows 2 threats -- Feb 25 and March 2

yea, it does that by merging the Feb 22 threat into the 50/50 and thus re-enforcing the NAO block.  That might be total bunk but if it did do that, it would probably set up a window behind it like this run shows.  All of this is unstable but with the NAO finally cooperating I think there is still a decent chance one of these threats turns out to be real.  Just not sure which one.

I would be shocked if it de-amplified and ended up further east but I don't think the solution it shows is all that out of whack either. Pattern is still pretty Nina'ish.

well the solution it shows sets us up for a really nice pattern the following week after it...and maybe we cashin then. The last week of Feb is NOT too late.

Its .3-.4 QPF... not sure where its coming from as i dont see any h5 energy nearby... WAA?

 

You won't see it looking only at 500 abs. vort. maps.  Try looking at 700 winds/temps, 1000 mb frontogenesis, 500 abs. vort. advection.  It's not a synoptic scale system, so looking at synoptic features won't tell the story.

looks like some energy heads across southern va and spins up a little surface low off the coast.  i thought gfs had precip over the area a few days ago and took it away...interesting to see it come back...i guess we need to see if it sticks around the next couple of runs.
