Yes that's true.
I think there will be a bigger storm to follow shortly after the Arctic plunge.
Even if Thursdays storm works out it doesn't scream huge storm to me right now.
I'm a little weary about this one. Too much SE ridging for my liking but there should be ample cold up north to resist it.
There's def a 50/50 in place and hopefully that trends stronger too.
It'll likely be a redeveloper but could favor northern areas. We might see a snow to sleet/rain type storm but it's still early.
I am getting a more northern/warmer PD 2 vibe though.
On those precip charts a lot of that stuff that shows rain would be wet snow.
I still like 6-10" but until other models come onboard I'll hedge closer to 4-8".
You get the opposite in early August when the nights begin to get a little shorter and maybe even a cold front passes by to drop the dews briefly.
But then it quickly goes back to summer again.
And currently it's very likely that the coldest weather still lies ahead. Actually the fact that we haven't seen many 50+ highs is surprising.
I think the metro is in a good spot for this.
There's still some wiggle room for a western push from most of the models.
I think we'll get 6-10" with local spots near a foot.
For the coast maybe. Though given how close we are to the event and the subtle shifts west I don't see a tucked in low this time.
Pattern is much more progressive than with the last storm.
It's coming.
Could end up being an ideal coastal track actually.
And to those who think we can't get a lot of snow in a fast moving system we picked up nearly a foot in 5-8hrs.
