this is concerning for midweek. needs to be monitored

That’s a huge shift, definitely worth watching. And if I’m understanding it will also be a bitterly cold storm if it reaches us?

6z Euro looks similar wrt precip in our area, but slightly further SE.

As I said in a post last evening, its very unlikely that southeastern surface low gets anywhere near our area. The vorticity from the digging shortwave plus the right rear quad of a strong jet streak modeled to be overhead would provide the lift. Just need some moisture advection.

Monitoring this potential won't involve a northwest trend of the low as much as the exact location and strength of these features aloft/moisture availability.

Note snow starting to develop in our area on this panel as that piece of UL energy approaches. It blossoms and fills in further SE on the next panel then slides off the coast. To me this looks like a potential light to moderate, relatively short duration fluff deal with high ratios.

When was the last time we got a Miller A?

Probably more favored in an El Nino with an active STJ, and especially with NA blocking and a quieter NS. A good chunk of our snowstorms are hybrid/Miller B, including at least one of the big 3 during the 2009-10 winter.

Good observation. It’s the nam, but we’ll see if other models trend that way. It may not take much, maybe 150 miles further N to get DC in the game. 200 for you probably.

CMC has had most of us in the game... but it's been mainly the only model.  I guess there some ensemble support across the spectrum too

Wouldn’t take much precip for it to be a fun day… idk when the last time any of us have seen it snow at like 10 degrees in the burbs or city.

Just gotta hope that the Nam's 84hr depiction is better than it's 36 hr forecast...Naaahh lol

Weenie.

For real though, watching for a western trend.  Got a little set back with the last model cycle.
