We are discussing based on the 18z NAM which shows at least a MECS, not an overall forescast. 

Fully aware of what’s being discussed. Even more reason the talk is out of place. It’s the NAM, more then 36 hours out at least. And mixing at/along the coast I’m pretty confident will be an issue. JMO

NAM has done pretty well with the last big storms. It nailed January 2016 even at 48+ hours out.

ICON looks relatively unchanged for our region at least. Maybe a tick north and west, but still good for most.

 

Its weird that it did trend closer to the coast, but kept the rain snow line offshore for the most part. 

Due to intensity?

This winter the 12K has been the best with most systems.  Maybe the best model altogether but that’s inside 24-36

Yeah, the 12z NAM run tomorrow should be pretty reliable with the Wed storm details.

If the 500mb low closes off, decent snow will wrap around to the west and it won't just be all front end. It'll linger around as the low moves away. Don't just look at the surface panels-the upper air is more important. 
There is blocking with this storm. To me, it's not a matter of if it closes off, it's a matter of where. Unless we are dry slotted with a due north storm from snj, then we will get residual snow backside n

It trended closer to the coast because of amplification. In turn, while closer, this means the heights crash to the coast simultaneously

Have to watch as well for warm layers above 850mb. Doesn't look too big of a deal now but there was the zone right over the city on 3/14 last year with heavy sleet. 

Also I don't think that's sleet on the RGEM, that's rain snow mix.

Yeah Rgem looks like a change over,verbatim of course. I know goose said this is a better set up than last March, however, Rgem also nailed last March.

 

Edit : I can't type sometimes.

Looks a little better upstream to force a quicker turn east, but besides that there are similarities.
