DT posted on FB a bias-corrected version of the GFS. That shows one storm coming up the coast:

Given the evolving pattern, it's possible that the GFS is onto something. Right now, I still think coastal areas will get a moderate precipitation event (probably something between the ECMWF ensembles and GFS ensembles), but can't dismiss the GFS. Small differences in the timing of the phase and trough could make a large difference in the storm's development and track.

Yeah we def can't just toss the gfs, the pattern def supports more of a ots track then a wound up bomb over the apps. Going forward it looks like we keep the -epo which should keep us cold.

If the GFS is right it would likely just be one big low going out to sea, the scenario it shows with 2 decent surface lows coming out of the GOM and coming up the coast is not something I ever recall happening, thats why its easier for me to dismiss the GFS, if it was just showing one organized system going OTS I could definitely buy it was onto something more so than I can with what its depicting.

It's hard to argue against the other models and their ensembles. I assume we'll see the gfs correct itself soon.

I just can't see the GFS beating the Euro inside 5 days when the GFS bias has been wide right for 20 years in its midrange

I never dismiss anything but I will never bet against the Euro in these situations I've seen the GFS correct west 100 in the past decade on east coast storms.

Why?  Euro was forecast like 2 feet of snow last weekend

I also expect the GFS to yield to some extent, hence I expect a moderate precipitation event.

Fair I wouldn't disagree with a mid point solution. Just didn't like the look of the midday op miss on the GFS

I just tend to look at the Euro ensembles for mid range guidance.

I can't wait for this storm to pass so people stop focusing on a rain event, the pattern looks amazing on most model runs for Day 9+, there's going to be a lot of REAL snow threats in early December, I'm locked & loaded. 

lol, the pattern always looks great 9 days out, than when we get there it looks great another 9 days from then
