I thought the individual members of the EPS looked better than 12z.  Maybe just optimism but one thing that stood out was the initial low track was further north compared to it being buried on the gulf coast. As Chris mentioned above, very few misses south and the theme this year has been stronger SS storms.  I'm not saying the 10"+ likely but advisory level is definitely on the table.

If we're talking weekend Advisory level, that's fine.

It takes almost nothing to get an advisory on a weekday due to traffic concerns.

Advisory level to me is 2-4 but just my 2 cents.

We are still far enough out to see this thing shift + or - 100 miles. If guidance holds the next couple days and doesn’t shift south we could still get a North trend inside 72 hours which happened on 12-9. The problem on 12-9 was the models shifted the wrong way from 48-96 hours out.

Per @tombo82685 on that "other" forum, 6z EPS bumps the 2" line to the Potomac and then east to Wes.  Bigger area of 4"+ also along the Blue Ridge.  

Yea they ticked a bit better for you guys. Seem like they consolidate the southern stream energy better thus making for a stronger low that heads towards KY area. Here is also a loop at h5 of differences between 0z euro and 6z one. Can see better consolidation of energy at base of trough. Also seems like there would be better spacing between that wave and the one by cali to limit it from breaking underneath the ridge to interact with southern s/w. Also, the northern vorts seem to be in a more suppressive orientation than 0z too.

That's good. What we don't want to see is the Euro more supressed run to run with the GFS following. I'll take the nights runs as a draw. GFS and EURO trying to meet in the middle. 

As long as we don't see the storm just drop off the map over the next 24 hrs (which at this point would be difficult), I think we'll be in the game for something. As I've read and studied, it doesn't look like this look is as suppressive as 12/9 was for our region. Even if come Thursday the heaviest axis of accumulating snow is in central Virginia I think we could easily see a tick north to put us in a high advisory/warning area for the metro areas of DC and Balt. At this point, that is kind of my high bar for this event. Still think there is way too much time and this storm might have one more semi-major change to it given it's 4-5 days out still. That could be for the better or worse.

perhaps this is our Jan 30,2010 event before the upcoming period of epic blizzards. still feel like this winter has been similar to 09-10 in terms of progression. the Dec 09 blizzzard is equivilant to the Dec 9,2019 historic snow that just missed us....and we had a mid November event that is kind of similar to the Dec 5,2009 event

I have a feeling today’s runs will start to give us a pretty good idea where we’re headed for the weekend. Southern slider I’d put at 25%. Strung out storm that gives us in the 2-4 range at 50% and a coastal hugger that gives us warning level snow and maybe even some mixing at 25%. It’s going to be an interesting 24 hours

6z op GFS is bad solely because the northern stream s/w is out ahead of the storm and acts to suppress it rather than behind it where it amplifies it.  6z FV3 is still behind the storm and that's why it's still a major hit.  

Hard to ignore the Euro being so consistent though, especially when there are more reasons than usual to suspect the GFS.  Still, I can't recall seeing a broad area of precipitation in IL/KY/IN that just evaporates when it gets to us if it's supported by a southern stream s/w and low pressure.  

The Euro and IKON had the same thing on last nights run. Seems we are coming to a bit of an agreement that the NS isnt going to help with this one. We need to hope that the vort is as strong as possible at this point.

we are close to NAM range...it looks like its consolidating more energy at 84

 

Half the fun for me is the chase. Love when we get a threat within 96hrs. Nights start off early. Nam at 9pm. Icon at 10. GFS at 10:30. CMC at 11. UKIE at 11:45. Euro at 1am. Don't know why I'm so excited...lol, I guess it's just been a long time since we got a threat within 4 days. Not quite there but getting awfully close.

While I’m a bit frustrated at losing out in Dec, I agree with Ji and others about similarities with ‘09-‘10. Hopefully things will take a turn our way.  I’m also pretty confident that we won’t be able to really know what will happen with this system until around Thursday or later.   It seems we need the cold air and the northern system tonight to set up and we need the PAC storm to get on land and consolidate before we will know what will happen.  Hoping for something more than flurries  to bolster confidence around here.
