Funny that it shifted SE with the track like 100 miles from the previous run lol

The final track depends most on the shortwave behind the system if I understand this correctly. That's what is pulling it northward up to PA on the GFS. Ideally we would want that to be weaker or further N/W. The actual track of the storm is fine, but looking at the H5 maps on the GFS you can see the bowling ball being pulled inward as the shortwave dips down to grab it.

100%, the h5 passage going through spots like WV (RGEM) is almost never going to end well for us. The 0z gfs was ever so slightly south with the pass thru DC/NVA. If that gets down to EZF even, there would normally be improvements in the result at the surface.

I realize this is a broad brush map for a large area, but if Garrett/Tucker/laurels jack, I'm probably not getting 6"

The Alleghenies always jack in these storms, what does that have to do with you?  They jacked even when we got 3ft back in '16.

Clueless - See what I have been tellin you all along! You get 7 to 10 inches from this! You'll see some mix, but you will SCORE with those orographics! You got elevation! You will have local maxima as well, local lollis of perhaps 11-12 inches. Ji is in Leesburg, he will get demolished too! Any sleet you guys get will only strengthen the pack!
