Hopefully it was just a blip at 6z but precip cut in half for our areas on both the GFS and Euro.
That probably effects temps with not getting the evaporational cooling / wet bulbing we would get from a wall of precip moving in from the Southwest.
Fingers crossed the QPF is back at 12z
Let's hope the 6z euro is just off on a tangent and incorrect.
That would be a disappointing outcome for places along the M/D line.
Kind of surprised after the great 00z runs last night.
I think that's clearly becoming our path to victory. All southern stream. Weaker but not too weak. 8 to 10 hours of WAA thump.
Hopefully a moderate 4 to 8 " storm.
Hard to trust any model evolution currently. I like the 18z better but it was am odd evolution compared to 12z.
Weaker system, smaller area of precip but more QPF in a good spot for us
Option 1 I would think is safer but with less upside.
I know your moose hunting but I would gladly take a squirl , fox or anything in between.
Edit: @psuhoffman can you explain why our qpf increased even with the system being weaker?
When we were getting those bigger snow totals the north movement of the storm stops and it pulled away slowly towards the east .
PA and north gets a longer storm now.
