Side note - Winds would be pretty significant here, but with no HP to the NW, the wind threat is not quite as high as it could/would be. Still something to watch nonetheless. 

I mentioned it in the January thread, but the full moon will be on Sunday, so extra high tides would lead to lots of coastal flooding.

One of the problems we have is that there is no real eastern trough. We are on the backside of a North Atlantic trough which is typically very dry with abundant confluence. It's very difficult to get a storm to make the left turn up the coast at the right time to get us in the sweet spot. The lack of any eastern trough in combination with our being on the backside of an Atlantic trough is why the storms do not make the turn and head straight out to sea. Having the North Atlantic trough makes it more difficult for us to get that eastern trough as well.

It happened in February 89, VA/DelMarva got like 20 inches in 7 days

The years blur at my age (73) but I was living in Fenwick Island, DE (a stone's throw above the MD state line) around that time and boy did we have a storm, a full-on blizzard. The wind roared in from the ocean with heavy snow blowing sideways. At the height of the storm with visibility down to zero the governor ordered the snow plows to halt. The snow drifted to above the top of my front door yet there were bare patches of ground in my yard. It was like that everywhere in the neighborhood. I don't recall the year precisely but I'll absolutely never forget that storm.

More turds in the punchbowl for us having any kind of threat? Say it ain’t so!

The 06Z euro is pretty much what I anticipated this storm would do which is just slide out and maybe not even be a major threat for Richmond or Raleigh.  But a high percentage of the ensembles at least still want to have this come up the coast 

Tomorrow we will know despite what todays runs show, though we could whiff all the rest of the way since the runs last night. 18z yesterday - like I said, is probably the last run with a coastal we see.  I’m not out yet, but within the next 28 hrs I’ll  know one way or the other.

Yup. I’ll sign for that as well 

The key seems to be how fast the Northern Stream UL closes off. The GFS is the most aggressive so it allows a quicker phase. The CMC still has an open wave near the Upper Plains at the same time and isn’t quite as phased. It may come down to a tiny sampling issue as to which model is correct. Probably the closest to something decent we have seen in quite some time. Anything to slow that NS down and close it off quicker in this pattern would be greatly appreciated.;)
