For the love of GOD....call JB and DO NOT LET HIM UNCANCEL WINTER!!!!  Tie him up or smash his computer if you have too...but please god don't let him uncancel it.

ive learned that everyone has a long way to go. Earlier we thought that the storm fizziling this saturday and not becoming a 50 50 low might turn the wed storm into rain...weather is gonna do what it wants to...no matter what phase. One thing forecasters should consider is not to change anything for 24-48 hours after bad runs. You dont know if its a hiccup...or trend.....you can literally go from a weenie GFS ensembles run to winter over in 12 hours per modeling and then back to weenie 24 hours later

AMEN!!!

That would be a disaster! "Sorry we missed the thunderstorms in our forecast.  They didn't show up two days ago." lol

So essentially the storm will almost certainly track west, it's just a matter of how strong the wedge of cold air is to determine how long the front end snow/ice will last? It would be nice to get one clean snowstorm track but this clearly is not the winter for that lol.

Possibly, but I don't think the idea that this thing ends up a little farther south and east and transfers to the coast is off the table at all yet. Still pretty early in the game considering all the changes that keep taking place from run to run.

Well that would be fantastic, but I haven't seen a whole lot of that on the modeling lol

I guess DT didn't see 12Z suite for the 19/20 event. He just posted and his downplaying it. Little snow  then changing "fairly quickly" to rain 

i imagine that's for richmond which would make sense given the waa depicted.  could still trend better for the whole area, but for now temps could still use a little bit of work to put everyone in the comfort zone.

Just caught up while sipping beer one (Denizen’s Bohemian Pils-awesome). I see two buck Chuck is the new Bob Chill. Simply amazing. How’s our European soil temps Chuck!? :lol:

 

So we might actually have a real storm that’s not a weekend? Well that’s different.

He was talking about everywhere, including the DMV area.

Nope. He is talking about our area too. It’s kind of weird. With the Euro as depicted this afternoon, I would think he would be woofing. I guess he’s assuming it will turn to rain.  Maybe it’s that he has canceled winter again. So maybe that’s good for us.

My favorite part of this synoptic setup is the placement of the block to the north right in the 50/50 locale. It’s actually created by two strong areas of low pressure that fujiwara, maintaining one prolific block up top. Notice the high over the NE US gets displaced to north and weakens some, but can’t really eject out of here. This keeps the surface return flow in a favorable position for the entirety of the event during the Euro’s lifecycle. Here’s what I’m talking about. Take a look in the North Atlantic.

Who cares. He cancelled winter for THE ENTIRE NORTHEAST right before a big chunk from northern MD north was getting a significant snow/ice storm. Then he uncancelled and barked about a storm for DC that is hitting southern VA. And now he is debbing next week?  Whatever. 

I actually like him. Fellow eagles combative arse.  But he gets emotional and then goes full tilt and his forecasting gets affected. Right now he is all over the place and needs a vacation or something.

i mean, verbatim the risk of a changeover is still there, but i think the trend is what needs to be watched at this point.  the next couple runs are key to see if the colder trend is real because we do well with accumulating snow from gulf interaction.  that's the thumper route.
