Idk about yall but I’m glad it’s going to miss firmly to the north. I can cope more missing it by a mile. A Virginia storm would’ve hurt but with a couple more ticks, Virginia is getting a devastating ice storm and we may go unscathed.
With all of that said, the run to run changes in the upper levels on the euro are rather mind boggling, not discounting it, but saying it’s dialed in would be a lie as well.
For those saying this low cant plow into the high, you’re right, but that’s not what the euro was showing. The 50/50 low is moving out of position, which means blocking is falling apart, and your HP has an easy escape route north.
My gut says north of I-85 and west of the triangle is a sleet fest of epic proportions and that’ll start showing itself in short range guidance tomorrow and Friday.
More phasing means a stronger cyclone, the stronger the cyclone, the more latitude it gains to move poleward. It’s also plowing into an increasingly transient high. A big thing that’s changed the past few days is that our high isn’t as “locked in” as we thought. It’s scooting into a less and less favorable position as the storm progresses.
My gut for all of us is a sleet fest but it could be kinda fun because we’re talking 4-6” of it. I personally have never seen that and I love a good freak show.
I’m on your side man and I hope that’s the case. We’ve certainly seen suppression win the past few years.
Hope I didn’t seem argumentative. I just wanted to support what I was saying and not just come across as a Debbie downer.
