Storm potential Sunday-Monday, 2/8-9/2015

This is going to end up just like the last storm.  The models have overdone the cold push in the med/long range all winter and I expect the same thing to happen with this as we move closer with a wet outcome for our area and another New England cash-in.    

You may be right and certainly that seems to be the way things have gone this winter.  Let's see where this is by 12z Friday.

Quick and relatively painless this time as the 12z ECM comes in north eliminating days of anguish

Right...and when 0z is back to being a big hit for the entire region the anguish resumes.

 

This threat will move around quite a bit over the next 5 days, that you can be sure of.  No sense in declaring it a hit or miss yet.

Agreed, the things to watch now are that giant high and it's placement, and the 50/50 low placement. The last storm was modeled to have a nice high, in a nice position, but ended up verifying weaker and further NW leading to the N trend at the last minute. Even on the Euro, these things look pretty good, leading me to believe that it is too far north imo. But the the trends on  these players are just as important as the storm itself.

Actually, last storm the main hp was out over the northern plains with a weak extension over se canada. This sunday-monday system has the main area of surface hp dome of molasses cold sitting just to our north, modeled as much stronger than last system. This, as you said, is a key player.

Too many people have been burned already this winter.

There's two waves coming out of the NW which is giving the models a tough time. The EURO puts most of its stock in the lead wave, which comes before the cold air could dig its fingers in. If you live in NE and C PA, you would root for this wave to be the main show. Today's 18z GFS, JMA, UKMET focus on that 2nd one. The ultimate goal would be to have that 1st wave be nothing but a reinforcing shot of cold, and hopefully that 2nd wave is the main show. (Ala JMA as a good example)

Op was North of the area with the slp, ens were South and more in-line with other guidance.

 

Lot of the EURO ensembles focusing on the trail wave, kind of what the GFS just did. They're not really sure which wave would be the main show. 

 

IMO, what we want to see is for that first wave to be nothing but a reinforcing shot of cold air, and have the models dump their load on that second wave.

First wave will have to turn into a significant 50/50 low to produce desired results with the second wave - close proximity would help..
