Euro just made a not insignificant move in a positive direction. To clarify, it's much wetter in the LSV. 

It is trying to tuck the low more than 12z and it def made a big step closer to the GFS once it’s further out to sea. GFS still earlier with phasing/storm development that translates to the big amounts it puts out. Main mechanism for us is still the inverted trough, which was more robust with that run. Our “benchmark” for a coastal low is on top the Delmarva or at least right along/near the coast.

Totally agree…typically a bombing low tucked at the mouth of the Chesapeake to the mouth of Delaware Bay blasts the area

It would be an all-time coup for the GFS if its persistent bomb solution came to fruition. But aside from all that.. again there continues to be solid support on most guidance and ensembles for a widespread light to moderate event via the ULL/inverted trough in C-PA even if the coastal ultimately does pop off and track way SE out to sea. I think we’re all in solid shape for a 2-5” type event right now, with the potential for a bit more within eventual placement of mesoscale features associated with the inverted trough setup. 

What will need to be watched for in the more likely, lighter snow event scenario is timing and rates. This event doesn’t look particularly cold, especially in the earlier stages. Timing seems to be centering on first half of this event possibly occurring during the day Sunday. Later February solar’s getting to a point where a light snowfall rate with temps near freezing won’t accumulate as well. Obviously, more moderate rates will likely be fine, as will whatever snow lingers into a good part of the night Sunday. That could add a bit more range where folks that end up stuck in the light rates see more like an inch vs being in what will likely be a couple of heavier bands that could help deliver a higher end advisory or more.

Or the GFS could be right, that would be good too. 

18z euro and 0z nam starting to cave to GFS look.  Not sure they concede fully, but a compromise is still a win for the GFS if the trends continue.  IF the GFS pulls off even a partial win, it will just make model watchin all the more "interesting" moving forward.  Read somewhere that the GFS gets a big update later this year.  I think I was lookin at MA thread for some comic relief.

Well we are suppose to be in NYC Sunday. I’m over this winter I think. 

Or just stop traveling so damn much in winter and sit back, pour a cold one and enjoy the friggin snow.

just a thought. ;)

18z EPS had a significant jump west over its 12z run. That’s a few hundred miles in one run. We still need a little more to get into GFS territory, but you rarely see the EPS jump this much so close to game time.

Definitely a step in the right direction 

just toggled through the panels, and yeah, it started off the 0z's in a better way.  Hoping the rest of them keep the welcome trends, but gut says GFS ticks east soon. Time for some narrowing of the goalposts, as we are inside 3 days and nearing short term.  Lets hope for some good stuff tonight.

I’m not fully convinced GFS goes east based on its 18Z ensembles. We will find out shortly!

That's a hell of a lot tighter than Euro. Seeing that and trends last few hours makes me lend more credence to GFS. This whole storm is hilarious

Yeah looking at that tight cluster one would think 0z would surely come W.
