With all due respect, I would rather roll the dice on that than this jumping BS. Bring the moisture right over my house.

I was not saying I agree or that this scenario is bad, just pointing out what it showed. I agree we are better off if this starts phasing early and takes a steady track with no redevelopment. However, we would need that track to be about 50 miles south of where the 12z NAM has it. Its better then the 6z so one more adjustment south and we are good. This is a very similar storm evolution to the Feb 1995 system. That was a nice 4-8" event west of DC and 6-10" around Baltimore. However, once you got south and east of 95 it was mostly rain. That system tracked over central VA and then right over ACY basically. We would need this to track about that far south of its going to be rain.

I would take that track in a heartbeat. Coastal plain tracks are usually decent for us in the western burbs.

How's the new gfs at showing cad? You used to be able count on at least a few extra hours after the gfs showed us going over freezing but I don't know if that's still true.

In actual damming scenarios, most models tend to be too aggressive in retreating the cold air....and this would likely be the case with the "new" gfs.

However, this isn't exactly a classic or even hybrid CAD event.....
