I'm not totally punting this threat until 00z tonight. We've seen things trend way north/west when we needed them not to around this range many times over the years. There isn't a big arctic high crushing the flow south like our usual smoking cirrus NC get crushed events, so maybe we can actually get lucky.
Just looking at the Euro since 12z yesterday it has trended closer to the coast by about 225 miles. We will need at least that much additional adjustment to score. I'm hoping for it all at once at 12z.
It’ll be interesting to see if we can pull off what the euro is showing for Thursday night. I feel like we had something similar in maybe 2018 or 2019 where we had a coastal pop like that and we got like 10 inches in dc metro but not much north of here. I think in that one it was all snow and there was a gap between round 1 and round 2 and then the radar blossomed right over us.
I agree with @stormtracker that an area wide 3-5 would be better than this narrow nonsense, but we have to take what we can get! Just happy it trended in our sub forum at all though.
Def, but being in the Jack zone at 100+ hours, rarely does it hold. Expect this to wobble a bunch until we get to about 48. But I think someone in our forum jacks.
We all know the drill, when the GFS is showing a big storm without support in a marginal airmass, it’s most likely not correct. But hey, u never know!!
