since this threat is toast i figured i'd stir the pot - does anyone see anything wrong with this image??? I mean there is a ridge in a pretty good place out west....50/50 check...trough in the middle of the country...WHY is that trough NOT digging? Is it because what is going on in the eastern pacific??? There also appears to be at least a ridge over Greenland...

see the energy crashing into the western ridge? That is shunting everything east and causing an unfair able trough axis downstream. That is why the storm is going to develop too far east out into the atlantic to give us anything

DUDE - were are talking about 2 diff systems. The map i posted is of the 84hr NAM. The storm that misses us is now the 50/50...this is for next weeks system...as DT would say that map kinda of defies the laws of physics

But every model is showing the same thing.

i glanced at it, thought we were still talking about this weekend, but yea a storm isn't cutting into a high in se Canada with a -nao block and a 50/50 low, ridiculous solution. If anything the primary will die out after it cuts and a secondary, miller b cyclone will somewhere off the coast, wherever the coastal front sets up, more than likely somewhere near the hatteras area, where u have the warm gulf stream waters/ sub tropical moisture

first, every model is showing the identical set up...second, I posted that to stimulate some actual weather conversation...

Let me be clearer, the models are having trouble resolving the storm for this weekend. What happens with the coastal and how far west it gets is very important. Until that gets resolved, don't expect much.

0z GGEM actually develops this into a modest wintry event

at 48hrs the 12z surface low is in the same spot or maybe slightly west of 0z 60 hrs and stronger,but the precip field is drier on the west side

The models are still insisting on spliting the energy and developing numerous low centers. One of which kicks way out to the east and one of which the GFS now shows forming just off the NC coast. If the energy was more consolidated into one big storm it would greatly help things. That's why I still think there is an outside chance that this makes a last minute jump west.

Just a reminder that this is not a chat room. "Gfs started" and "ugh" posts will be deleted and repeat offenders will have 5 post per day restrictions.

It's ridiculous that Doug and I have to spend our entire day deleting posts because they literally add no substance to the discussion.

Thanks in advance !

first going to comment on the weekend storm - I think we should still have to watch this closely and not write it off yet - since it is so close and could easily develop closer to the coast and slow down - secondly seems to me that some folks did not read this post from Earthlight last night - the banter this morning is like almost a quarter to half of the posts ..................

I have noticed in the past that as the models get closer to an event they tend to consolidate the energy into a single low. Not to say it will happen this time . Still looks like a long shot

Think the EURO is going to throw us a bone, but not on the coastal, think it's going to up the amounts on the first wave to GFS level maybe more. I think the thing to be watching is the first wave, it's been trending stronger on every model, and if that continues we could see a nice(advisory) event out of it.

the 12z gfs only gave NYC .10 qpf of snow
