The GFS ensembles have an almost classic look for a storm that bombs out as the trough goes negative. Unfortunately, at the time this is forecast to happen, blocking is not sufficiently in place to force everything eastward and a strong ridge is located over the northwestern Atlantic. As a result the system bombs out while tracking well west of the big East Coast cities. At 150 hours, the GFS forecasts the system to have a central pressure of 958 mb.

The storm's track should result in a surge of warm air moving up the Eastern Seaboard with readings soaring perhaps into the 60s in Richmond and Washington, DC and 50s perhaps as far north as Boston. All in all, such an outcome increases the likelihood that New York City will have a positive temperature anomaly for February, even if the closing 2-3 days are colder than normal.

Honestly I am usually optimistic, but with the upcoming miss and with the LR looking a bit worse by the day I now feel that the 3 inches I need to make average is out of reach. Now i am hoping for a quick transition to spring. Not a terrible winter with 27 inches but the weather models have broken my spirit.
