January 22-23 Storm Threat

I know it's a different evolution but remember the 2015 March storm? Models consistently showed us and DC getting smoked, then models trended south 2 days before the event only to trend back N and bullseye us. Maybe it's recency bias, but I would favor a N trend over not.

That being said, my concern level is high considering I am 25 miles NW of Philly

I'm a couple exits west of you on 422, and I think we'll make out just fine. I should have posted 6 hours ago when a poster out in Rofo expressed concern, that I think we'll be closer to the highest totals (not saying we're in the jackpot zone) than not. We've got a little elevation and distance from the coast going for us to get less mixing, and we're not so far north that we need to worry about the cutoff. Otherwise I have no meteo knowledge to back this up, it's just my hunch on this one.

Onyl thing to take away with the NAM is @ 24 hours out it was significantly stronger.....which would probably be good for us down the line, so hopefully 00z models follow suite.

 

No one should even look at the NAM beyond 48 hours, how it plays out will change drastically run to run @ that range

hard to take it too seriously given that no other guidance shows this kind of extreme solution for our area, I think what you can take out of it is some optimism that there is room for this to come out north.

Not the best group but jma, sref, nogaps from 18z all show similar. Start of something good? Not sure but we can dream. Still like where we're at regardless of the NAM 0z to be honest.

The NAM brings up a point I made/asked way back in the early pages of this thread.....: Why have we always been capped by 1996? Surely that can one day (I'm not necessarily saying this storm) can be exceeded? SO WHY NOT THIS STORM?

 

Makes you think (I think). 

I've been around too long and seen the NAM do this too many times--that is why people say "you've been NAM'd". This will not verify.  Like I said though maybe it is a sign of a northern movement, which would be good.

Agreed. Verbatim, unlikely. Even cut those totals in half tho and most folks are still extremely happy!
