Powerful Multi-regional/ multi-faceted east coastal storm now above medium confidence: Jan 29 -30th, MA to NE, with snow and mix combining high wind, and tides. Unusual early confidence ...

Maybe...southern stream is ejecting quicker, but the northern stream is lagging a bit. Maybe that will be better in the end.

Looks like its digging further SW heights are higher out ahead.

[40/70 Benchmark]

I would be shocked it wasn't better than 06z...that was extreme

[MJO812]

Ukie is also better

[PhineasC]

east trend dead. good.

[CT Rain]

GFS is definitely sharper and going to phase earlier. Should be better than 6z.

[dryslot]

It may phase it all this run.

Better than its 0z run?

[dendrite]

Yeah this should be good.

[snowdazed]

I'm a bit lost with all the shifts.  What would the groupmind say is the likeliest range for RI, given the caveat that it's still far out?  Whiff or Whump?

[JC-CT]

this looks rather explosive

Yup.  Angle looks much improved.  We go boom after 84hrs.

[dryslot]

No doubt its going to be west of the 06z run.

And pull up a seat on the bridge in case of mix to rain.

Yikes.  And on trash day, too. :-)

[CT Valley Dryslot]

West of 6z and 0z by hour 90.

[dryslot]

Goes from 39/68 at 06z to 39/70 at 12z

[JC-CT]

it's much better, but it can still improve imho

[tiger_deF]

6z vs 12z

[ORH_wxman]

This is gonna be a mushroom cloud somewhere south of the islands.

[dryslot]

She's a beaut clark.

[RUNNAWAYICEBERG]

It is better but not it yet for WOR, which is fine at d4.

Is six hours of continuous thunder snow Friday into Saturday too much to ask?

That was April 1997

We like shrooms down there

[RDRY]

Classic GFS -- getting there in increments.

[TauntonBlizzard2013]

It’s definitely west… but it’s not a gigantic cave really. 

[dendrite]

H5 closes off over ACK

[ORH_wxman]

Northern side of the trough is getting pinched a bit...the RGEM was doing that too which is why I told Ray it would be east of the Euro despite phasing in most of the southern stream....that northern pinch is something to watch.
