87storms

Side note: The potential blizzard next weekend shown on the 6z gfs looks pretty cool, though. Regarding this storm…nowcasting will be fun…especially the water vapor loop once this system sparks in the Deep South.

I generally preferred this storm to be later to coincide with the next, more rock solid shot of cold, but also didn’t expect the Baja low to unravel like a slingshot towards Pittsburgh lol.

This is giving me Feb 94 vibes, but I hope I’m wrong.

You ain’t lying. I have PI planning next week (healthcare IT) and taking a grad class. Gonna need to play catchup today/tomorrow.

It’s a close shave, no question about it, but does seem like this is one of those systems that could actually trend south instead of north. That’s some stout cold with a reinforcement incoming (just needs to be more incoming lol).

I’m kinda thinking that too tbh. Maybe a subtle tick north. The difference between the models at this point seems like subtle differences in when the phasing with that unraveling Baja low occurs.

Of course it is lol. We're gonna be fine. It's gonna be in the teens and negative dews Saturday evening.

Looks like this run is a little south, almost as if the nam is caving to the euro/gfs. Shocking development.

Interesting. I’ve questioned similar scenarios too when looking at soundings. Didn’t realize it was just connecting the dots at the standard levels.

The most important question at this point is whether to stay up all night Saturday or go to bed early and wake up at 4am to dendrites.

Lol at worrying about the nam at this range. That model almost trends towards the globals near gametime.

Feb 14 is criminally underrated. It ripped even in Bethesda the entire night. I think 10-12” fell.

La Niña de-amp beginning at 0z?

Just started looking beyond our “walking on snow” system. Interesting stuff showing up next weekend to say the least.

Euro is typically steady eddy (so not expecting much change) but I noticed slightly slower start times as the latest trend. Curious if that continues.
