That's my concern lol. Tennessee valley sees snow on Monday. North East gets it next Friday/Saturday.  We're in the middle.

I think there was some crazy 1400 hour snow maps that kind of looked that way a couple weeks ago. :lol:

There is a frontrunner piece of vorticity, then the stronger piece comes in behind. If that digs further south and the coastal low pops off the NC coast instead of DE, we are probably referring to this as a 'dual low structure' instead of a Miller B. We just need a little more dig in general, regardless of whether there is an initial weaker low or not.

I don't love the current look, BUT I do like where it's heading.  It was all NS before today, which is why we weren't getting any good looks at all.  The euro is kind of a hybrid now, it does activate a weak STJ wave and begins to amplify it while its still in the TN valley.  I would love to see it become STJ dominant v a hybrid but its already a much better look that a pure NS miller b and its trending towards more STJ interaction today.  If we get one more trend the same way as the last 24 hours suddenly we have a big dog look.  IMO its already moved towards a progression that is at least unlikely to miss us completely, but the threat that it is only a modest event here and more significant further north is real.

Quite cold behind the Friday system. The Ravens will finally play a home playoff game in freezing weather. If Buffalo beats Pittsburg which is likely then that game will be ridiculous. 

You don't think Mason Rudolph will be throwing lasers through the wind and blowing snow in Buffalo?

The "other side" of whatever slight warm up we get is now on the GFS and its wicked cold.

This is much closer to a Feb 2003, 2015 look than 2010 which is fine, just a different way to win.  The ideal progression would be that dumps the cold back down...then the NAO tanks again with cold trapped under it.  That's how we roll through into March with threat after threat.  And its actually what the guidance suggests.

3pm AFD from LWX mentions end of next week as a more "traditional threat"

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Below normal temperatures and the threat for wintry precipitation
headline the medium range. There is medium confidence in well below
normal temperatures and dangerously cold wind chills, but the threat
of snow or wintry precipitation remains highly uncertain.

Anomalous ridging over the Polar regions of the Northern Hemisphere
will force Arctic air southward across much of the CONUS for most of
next week. The brunt of the cold will be on our doorstep locally
early in the week, before spreading over the rest of the area by the
middle of next week. Meanwhile, an area of low pressure - driven by
a shortwave currently trapped in a cyclonic gyre over NW Canada -
will likely induce an area of low pressure that will track from the
Mid-South to near the Carolina or Mid-Atlantic Coast late Monday
through early Wednesday. Exact timing remains uncertain, and timing
of this wave with added energy from the Arctic intrusion will be
crucial in determining the extent of any snow/wintry precip impacts
across the Mid-Atlantic. Deterministic guidance has been attempting
to come into somewhat better agreement, but the Euro (through 06z)
remains a flatter/drier outlier. For this reason, ensemble means and
probabilities have remained nearly steady from values 24 hours ago.

As energy for this system ejects into the NW CONUS and is better
sampled, guidance should get a better handle on the outcome over the
next 1 to 2 days.

Following this system, strong winds coupled with well below normal
temperatures will likely result in wind chills in the single digits
on either size of zero by early Wednesday morning, with even colder
values over the higher terrain. Winds will abate a bit by Wednesday
night into Thursday, though below normal temperatures will persist.

By the end of next week, the aforementioned low will be absorbed in
a developing cutoff near Newfoundland. This, coupled with ridging
near the West Coast, and lower heights in between over the OH/TN
Valley, are a more traditional setup for wintry weather locally.
Therefore, the threat of wintry precipitation may re-appear by the
end of next week.

Yes sir. HP dropping in faster this run too. 

But then it all separates and turns into a shit sandwich. Some light snow verbatim, but looked better than 12z for awhile.

again....nothing. Never happens with our rainstorms

I can't talk whether you're just ignoring what people say to refute this on purpose or you actually can't see it. Rainstorms are rainstorms and nobody pays attention to shifts in track because they don't typically matter to most of us! 

Why can't you see that? Model waffling happens all year around--just largely unnoticed.
