NAM starts the storm quite far south moves it into Georgia and South Carolina. It's still quite early for the NAM which doesn't usually get it right until inside 24 hours, but it appears that the storm has hard time intensifying and turning up the coast. Yet snow is about to move in during the early morning hours Friday. Right now, NAM says no big deal just a little snow.

My thinking is that the track will probably end up a bit south and east of ideal. That said, again southern NJ and eastern Long Island could jackpot with 6-10" in a few spots but more likely 3-8" closer to NYC. Less north/west more south/east. If the ECMWF ends up being or trending more towards the UKMET, I'll keep the idea of a repeat of Monday's near miss in the back of my mind.

Nah, I've been scanning weather forums for decades. This is odd. 

I think the reason is that all of the models including the ECMWF have been shaky this season. 5 or 6 years ago, even 3 years ago with the Euro maps we see today there's be far more excitement because the European seemed to be verifying a little better.  Also, we're still not in an ideal pattern for east coast storms, the kind that dump all along I-95 and coastal areas. We'll see if we're able to change the tide this Thursday-Friday.

Consistent with the pattern, odds are the track of this is either good for snow or again further south and east.

If you do not have a flake by now on Long Island, you're probably unlikely to see them unless you get a flurry on the backside of this. Dry air is building in and it would appear the leading area of snow is beginning to be suppressed to the e-se.

All of a sudden, constant lightning flashes here in Whitestone with not much thunder. Rarely see that.

I had that 10-15 minutes ago.
