The day 8 storm does remind me of Feb 2014 storm @BooneWX

Almost insane how much they look alike, not only at the 500mb level but with the surface depiction too for these clown runs.

I’m gonna need it to jackpot a bit further west than it did that day :P

It looks like one of those marginal deals where timing and the intensity of precipitation is key. If we get a heavier band move in around sunrise we could get a surprise inch or 2. If its light or later it will be drizzle or light rain.

I do feel like the MLK day storm does have legs but think it might be one of those ENC specials where we are left cold/dry. Still early but just my hunch.

Still leaning towards cold/dry for us

She’ll come west. Our HP and cold press isn’t looking as stout or far south as initially thought and I think soon we’ll see runs that reflect that.

I'm more concerned about the strength of the energy and the fact it's not consolidated

That could be an issue as well. I still think we’re days from knowing but I’ve seen this dance played out too often to feel like enc is scoring in this storm. Nothing against them at all and I’ll be rooting for them if so - but you absolutely don’t want to be in the bullseye at day 6.

I'm concerned about everything LOL. 

Its all trends and looks now. You can never always count on any NW movement. But we need this system to his before Thursday (prime time would be Tuesday night into Wednesday) to have more of a cold look around.

The one big thing I've noticed is the moisture seems to blossom on the GFS runs when the high pressure is sitting over West Virginia,Virginia, Pennsylvania area, but on runs where the high pressure is moving down through Kansas, Oklahoma area the low gets shunted into the gulf. It will be interesting to see where the high pressure sets up overhead and how much the low can amplify.

Why are you so negative on next week's potential? You are trolling every post. Stop with the " one-liners and explain why you believe this. I would be happy to hear it.

I don't think you know what trolling means. 

 

1. The air is the coldest, driest we have seen in years and it will take a strong S/W to be able to counter this.

2. The S/Ws that have been modeled have been weak and strung out much like the other ones we have had previously this winter. Remember last week?

Do you really think that the cold push will be that strong come verification time???? Rarely is as modeled at this range. To say that we will not get anything during the entire week sounds like a pretty bold statement to me. I would definitely bet the over on that one.

All I’m paying attention to right now is the baroclinic zone setting up. I don’t buy suppressed solutions at this range because historically, it’s going to ride that gradient, which is not only a good storm for us, it’s a memorable one. Like I said earlier today. There would be no death wish greater than having the jackpot over us at day 6. Patience, it’s coming west with time. It’s a climatologically ripe storm for us, not to even mention that consistently, every model underperforms at this range with the extent of the moisture to the NW. I cannot count on my hand how many times I’ve seen this depiction at day 6, only for it to be a huge storm for WNC, ETN and SW VA.
