There are many wildcards which go into those decisions, if his aircraft is needed for an international route at its next destination it will most definitely not be canceled unless absolutely necessary due to weather...if on the other hand there are 15 empty seats on it and the airline wants to use it for some other flight they have no aircraft for then they could cancel it.

As an employee for the FAA (I am an Airways Transportation Safety Specialist @ the NYTRACON) International destination does play a part in it but safety has grown to such a concern level that with weather like is being predicted you could very well see flights bumped early. Domestics are bumped earlier. In all honesty IF we get the weather forcasted at this point you will likely see all major airports shut down at some point for some period of time. I am scheduled to work a 2-12 on both Sunday and Monday. Monday remains to be seen Lol.

Looks like a fair call at this point. Still plenty of time for adjustments with the 12z runs coming up along with realtime obs.

Merry Christmas everyone! Here's Mt. Holly's snow forecast map...looks like they're playing it pretty conservatively for now:

Every run is closer to the coast and a bomb in a moderate La Nina....unreal!

The record -NAO/AO blocking looks to come through for us. Never doubt those AO statistics -- whenever we've seen the AO plummet to -4/-5, there's almost always some type of major event on the East Coast. Just remarkable.

Merry Christmas.

NAM is coming in slightly less strong but track similar to 0z...precip shield extends west a bit more. Better hit overall...

edit: make that slightly better...just looked at a regional view and it looks a touch better on the western flank but heavier qpf not as "robust."

It's about 4 mb weaker thru hour 42 FWIW.
