I actually remember The Weather Channel days before calling it the "Southern Style" storm. It was supposed to ride south and scoot on out to see. The rest is history.

were not going to know what this is going to do with conviction until later tomorrow into Thursday. if I were a betting man that lead vort gets sheared and the sunday/Monday threat happens.

this threat is far from dead and I agree with you that this storm is probably coming as ONE Miller A and the second wave will not impact this system. your explanation did a great job in explaining what the pattern should produce leading up to sunday/monday

What you see are seeing is the models seeing lobes of energy run under the PV in canada and with a SE ridge 

once to the coast the energy gets bundled . ONE of these are prob right , not multiple IMO 

The models always see storms in  the LR on the EC .

I like Sunday . just posted day 9 to break chops .

No one is saying the threat is dead. But it is severely compromised if that lead vort is strong.

plus I would like to add the last time we saw a lead vort this year it was sheared out the primary ended up delivering the goods. this pattern setting up for sunday into Monday just screams something big, not two waves with the second one just sliding out to sea

absolutely it would be severely compromised but im hedging my forecast on the models picking up on pertubations in the flow and mucking it up a bit despite what the upper levels in NA argue for. read what paul ( PB GFI ) wrote last page, it brings lots of light to the sunday/Monday storm also on this page as well. paul has been pretty spot on this year with his forecasts of storms and cold

This lead vort could be typical mid range noise from the models. The gfs ensemble mean scream potential but we'll see.

Great when your wife calls and is asking why she is hearing from her associates at work that were getting a massive blizzard this weekend and she asks where they heard this from and they say its all over Facebook. .

If thats one deep trough it bundles the energy and its one storm 

Just 12 hours later , look how that is now getting deeper in the Ohio Valley .That trough

in the GOA will be reflected in the Ohio Valley , its one storm and its coming

I don't know how much more convincing you can get for something truly big this weekend paul. model swings cant argue for what that shows, expect the two low solution to be worked out of the equation with that look :snowing:

Social media sure has changed actually boards like these started it all. Hey maybe it was us in the late ninetys with Conn.blizz and D.T  and meteotrade on the TWC boards with legendary hurricane specialist Bob Hope may he R.I.P.The trend is our friend it likes to snow this year IMHO nothing scientific about that. Oh yeah the models wili drive you crazy LOL.see ya

I wanted to post this and wasn't sure if I was allowed to.

As the NEG  gets deeper ,and comes through the Ohio Valley its likely to result in an EC snowstorm .

Not gona look at every OP run , better to do that inside 96 hours. Stick with the ensembles 500 MBs will tell you all you need to know .

Look for the transient block , that will be you`re confluence . The east coast ridge will force this N as the trough goes NEG  and there you go .

That ridge was responsible for our last snowstorm  50 over the weekend and sending this primary to PITT ,

its not leaving .  That's the way I  see it , Good Luck

the 18z GFS has initialized, whats promising was the 18z NAM wanted to shear out that lead vort on Saturday so this may be a better solution one can hope

The 500mb picture on the ensembles is far from perfect however: the western ridge (PNA) is not quite amplified enough, and the axis is not pumping towards Boise which is what you see on many classic storms/KUs. It's more of a broad flat ridge across the western CONUS, which leads to a far more progressive trough.

 

The Davis Strait block/-NAO is also pretty weak compared to classic storms like December 2010. The NAO is fairly neutral as there's some lower heights just to the east of Greenland.

 

I do like the look of the threat but it's not a lock by any means as the western ridge is relatively flat and we lack a classic monster block.

If the NAM is shearing the initial vort, it's literally going against its' over amped bias. Could be the real deal.
