Today was one hell of a heater. Nearly 80 everywhere! Turned the ac on, up and downstairs.  Heat always overperforms. Glad to get this week behind us. Great looking weeklies could be wrong, but if not, we should start seeing some threats in the long range showing up in the next few days. Need to get that cold established up in Eastern Canada to get back in the game. Transition week ahead. Then back to business.  I think!  Beyond that there's really nothing to talk about given long-range model uncertainty and Incredibly fluctuating op runs. Here's to a great weekend and possibly a thunderstorm or 2!!

I wish I had turned the air on before I went to bed last night. I woke up around 3am, surprisingly uncomfortable. We certainly over-performed with the temperatures this week, especially considering how cold it got last week. 

I hope our region cashes in before all is set and done. As you mentioned, the operational runs haven't shown much yet, but hopefully, after the weekend, we begin seeing the advertised pattern take shape.

So freaking close

0z EURO would  break the snow records for Richmond Feb 4-5th if it verified.  Still snowing at end of the run.  6z GFS Ensembles also look better for the same timeframe.  I’m sure 12z will be  different but great to see threats popping up!

It actually look similar to that one ensemble member I posted the other day.

The 00z GFS had it hitting NC, and the 6z was suppressed to the south, but as you mentioned, some of the 6z ensembles were hits for us. We can expect to see wild swings from run to run with the pattern change. Hang tight, everyone!!:D

Man I hope you guys get this one.  I’d love a blizzard to happen for you.  You got this!

Thank you for thinking about us. :thumbsup:

Well the 12z EURO was suppressed but does bring a storm up coast.  Interesting to see what the ensemble members show.  Good news is, there is a storm but different evolution.  Will see lots of different solutions

Definitely was an interested solution on the op.

Not too many ensemble hits, but a couple were HUGE! ORF and ECG actually had more hits than RIC, possibly indicative of a more southern outcome, rather than snow being displaced north of us like last week.

EURO. Wild solution.  Never going to happen that way but it's nice to see.  We've got something to look at. Signal is increasing for some kind of East Coast storm. Maybe a big one. Models all over the place. Go back even a few days and look how this current weekend weather situation was modeled. Not great. I need to mow the front yard and get rid of the dandelions if there is any chance of snow. A yellow flower poking through isn't a good look.

Still some Big hits on graphs.  Would love to see the animation output for e50

Lol sorry I meant the spread map you put out sometimes that shows the whole region with the average accumulation throughout

@Conway7305, e-32 for is a more believable evolution.

Exactly.  That's the most believable possible, snowy solution. And just think how many elements have to come together at exactly the same time in order to produce that. That would be epic. And one heck of a stroke of luck.

 Our area is due the most, would love to get a March 1980 blizzard redux. Btw, there were some huge hits on the 18z GEFS as well.

Could be just me, but I am not able to see what you posted, @ldub23.

Meanwhile, after reviewing the overnight and morning models, there is still a storm signal for the February 4th to 6th timeframe, but it isn't as impressive as yesterday (i.e. not as many hits). But there is still plenty of time to monitor. Hopefully today is an improvement.

Today's 12z operational GFS is still south with the 2/4 to 2/6 low. Will be interesting to see how the ensembles look.

We need the upper low over the Canadian Maritimes (A) further east so the low in the gulf (B) can amplify and come north.

The 12z GFS was farther north than the 6z run so there is that.
