These are my reasons and I hope I am wrong.
1.) The storm has to track almost perfectly
2.) The storm has to intensify at just the right time
3.) TWC has all rain even up here
4.) Don's stats - we have to break normalcy
5.) Forky always chimes in when there is a legit shot
6.) Epic record breaking west coast winter. All the cold air has been bottled up there and has created the opposite record effect here. There is some cold to tap but again we have to sit under the CCB
7.) NS dominance. Per standard Nina operating procedures the NS has dominated and helped kill our December. This is hurting tonight and will effect temps for this storm
Now I am usually 99% optimistic, however at this juncture I need to see some consistency across more than just the UKMET and EURO.
