it’s been flopping around for days. not any better than any other piece of guidance 

We'll see how things trend tomorrow. But if by saturday we don't see any improvements, it may be time to jump ship on that one.

Yeah, that looks a lot more like what the GFS looked like at 12z.

not really...pull up the GFS and compare them...the GFS is way off on its own world wrt the NS H5 look...all stretched out over the top... BUT... I am in the "it wasn't a great trend" camp.  Those saying its more amplified are correct, however, its also more east and that outweighs this for our purposes because we are the furthest west of all the east coast regions trying to get a storm here...we have the least amount of time to waste as the wave progresses east before it bombs...it doesn't matter if its more amplified if it starts to bomb and gets captured too late...then its the typical congrats beaches and NYC to Boston we are used to in a nina. 

But its a minor thing...it can flip back at 0z it wasn't some huge move that had me like OH NO.

Another big storm on 2/23 that hits eastern NC and SE VA.

Time for spring if you like snow and the AI is close to being right.

27th!

Lol you guys are insane talking about jumping ship a week out.

Right? Big azz storm just grazing the coast. No way it can tick N and W as the AO races towards positive? That AI was 100-200 mile nudge West from being a high-end MECS. Gimme a break ppl.

Wait why are we talking about pulling the plug? 12z EPS looked great.   AI and GFS aren’t too far off.  Still 6 ish days out. 

lol you’d think this was an awful winter for the area. let’s ignore the EPS, 12z OP ECMWF, GEPS, UKMET because of the GFS and AIFS

It’s not though…. in about three-4 days, the storm will be developing

No it is.  From someone who does stochastic modeling for a living.  Alot of you take too much stock in 4 days out….. never mind almost 7.

And ffs the AI isn't far off at all. Methinks ppl either have ptsd from being skipped over alot recently or have moved onto spring in the middle of Feb. Either is plain insanity. This is our best chance of a nicer storm the entire season.

To be clear, I’m not saying jump ship NOW… I’m saying that the trends aren’t great and I want to see what things look like by Saturday, which is when I think we’ll have a better idea what’s going to happen.

Hard to tell what the path to victory is here.  If the upper level energy is too far north, we're looking at a Miller hybrid or B (which seems to be what's being modeled)...if it's further south, it might work out better for the southern crew, but leave those to the north with a nasty gradient again.  I guess we need everything to be a little further west?

The pattern is ok... you guys aren't hearing me that, that's not a 50/50 low.. it's too far NE and actually a +NAO. Now +NAO has higher precip correlation, so when the Pacific pattern works you can get an overrunning storm.. that's probably what we'll get, but not a Miller A without south-of-Alaska low 500mb and sustained 50/50 low. 

Beyond there, I got weenied 10 times for saying this last night... but it's not an impressive cold pattern. The EPO looks to go positive for a few days. The next "threat" after the 20-22, probably right now looks like rain. 

@psuhoffman The AO pattern has its highest snow correlation when it's deeply negative.. not coming back to neutral or positive. The NAO is what you want to see go back to neutral because its negative phase is so dry... but we are missing a -5 AO here with 2 rainstorms.  After that, when the AO goes back to neutral/positive, it's not a favorable pattern for MECS anymore!  I know your research says lag, but besides the 20-22 storm, it's not looking like a favorable period, mostly because of lack of deep cold (because by that time it's not -AO)! The index regions do correlate the highest with US temps at Days 0 to +1.

You've said that for years and it's never really been a thing. I know what you're saying but I don't believe it's true. You're too easily influenced by bad runs. Even you have said the AI is trash but now it's affecting your mood.
