Gfs was between 12-18z Monday now. I’d wager that’s a large part of what the EPS is reflecting. Earlier start. Kinda crazy when we started watching this event, it was evening of the 12th into the 13th.
Storm start keeps moving earlier and earlier. GFS has that precursor idea on Monday! 126 hours out. 2nd batch about 24-30 hours later. Euro was about 12 hours slower.
Nor’easter comes from the predominant wind direction, typically during big coastal storms. This storm is forecast to be a bit different (primarily an “overrunning” event), but winds would shift to northeast at the end according to the euro.
We are all either super confident and chill about all this or we’ve lost a bunch of posters lol. Wake up to like 2.5 new pages in the long range thread and less than 1 new page for tomorrow-Thursday and I figured overnight runs were a disaster. Nope! We have 3 winter storms in the next 8 days! Ho hum!
We’ll have freezing or near freezing temps for about 24 hours leading into ice Wednesday night. I doubt roads will get too icy but sidewalks could be slick. They’re gonna close schools Thursday…
Not to get too far ahead of ourselves, but next week isn’t looking like that level to me. Potential for that type of thing comes later in February I’d wag.
