I think we've got high pressure in the wrong spot for this one. It's chasing this system out instead of helping to slow things down and reel in moisture off the Atlantic. As is, we might want an amped up southern stream and just hope we get clipped by the initial overrunning.
The ss wave just can’t seem to gain enough latitude. It’s getting chased ots instead of phasing and lifting north. Not sure what causes that, but it always seems like a yellow flag for this area to have any kind of GL low, kicker, etc.
Reel it in…you’ve been hawking over this time period. I like that the gulf is involved and we’re not just relying on Atlantic moisture from the coastal.
I could see this system being further west if there’s more phasing since the high isn’t exactly parked over Quebec, though I still think this system has the most potential further northeast. The NS just doesn’t seem diggy enough for our latitude…at least for now. I think by 12z tomorrow the goalposts are gonna tighten enough that we’ll have a better idea of where the greatest max potential is.
Need the NS upper level energy to dig further south or we’re looking at a congrats Boston. I’m retired from 3-6” snowfalls for the season…it’s go time.
