It’s not a coastal rider.  The SLP panels are on WxBell already and it forms near OBX then heads NE about 100 miles off ORF then heads NW from there and makes “landfall” at ACY.

Thats what I figured. You can see it trying to start jumping to OBX at 93. Now I just want to see the CCB. It does have a pretty nasty dryslot out this way during the jump though.

So little data available with this model but it looks like 0.5”+ snow for DC from the WAA.  Similar for Winchester.   Seems like places south of Baltimore miss out on the coastal action just by looking at the total precip maps.  

It’s such a wonky evolution.  I like the WAA a lot.

Excellent post and visuals ! 

And here in my area both of those were the biggest snows in the last 20 years. Dec 2009  measured 26 inches,  and Feb 2003 at 22 inches.

In Feb 03 , if not for the sleet would have easily been 30 inches here. Seems what works for your area and for areas near the coastal plain are uniquely different,  but makes sense based on your location.  

Not just me specifically those are the biggest storms to affect our region as a whole the last 30 years. However...the Delmarva and southeast VA are a different climo zone when it comes to snow. They can do “ok” when DC and Balt and places west get a HECS but honestly for you to “Jack” required a different type of storm usually. For Baltimore and IAD and me to be getting 20”+ usually means your mixed or dry slotting because to get that kind of moisture feed here the low is too close for you. There are some rare exceptions like (ironically) PD1 and PD2 (for different reasons) but those are rare exceptions.

A couple of the EPS members had that jump east on them. Anything is still possible at this point. Which is why I want as a big of a WAA thump as we can get. Give me the easy snow. I will worry about the rest later.

Secondary track is perfect. The reason it’s not the euro is the primary gains too much latitude before the transfer and the h5 instead of digging and amplifying in phase with the secondary opens up as it approaches. In other words it’s a messy transfer. Fix that and it’s a euro like solution.

So I'm wondering how long it'll be until we get consensus on the coastal track...I mean the euro and gfs can't be at this stalemate too much longer!
