It's the long range RAP. Not very useful at this range. Things have trended better over the past 24 hours. Still time for some poative trends but I think we could at minimum be looking at a high end advisory event. One thing I've noticed is that reports out west say that snow is accumulating heavier and further north than models had it. That could bode well for us down stream.
Tbh all the signs were there if it does turn out to be south of you guys. Euro stayed south. NAM the usual amped bias was north and will adjust as it gets closer. The long range HRRR looks good and will also adjust as it gets closer. Euro has been steady for days now so if it's wrong then that's a big model fail on its part.
I wouldn't give up yet if I was you guys. I'd look at the radar trends and see what happens. The models have been wrong before. We've seen these storm go further north than progged a lot of times.
Yeah the trends suck. Maybe we get lucky. Keep your expectations low, and hopefully short range models trend better. Nowcasting always has surprises so I wouldn't give up yet but we most likely won't see warning levels.
In the meantime my furnace is about to break. Oh joy. Idk if that's worse than what the NWS has to deal with. I guess that's why we are in the range of 2-7.
